Challenges Before Disinvestment

Process of disinvestment is not favored socially as it is against the interest of socially disadvantageous people.

• Political pressure from left and opposition
• Loss making units don’t attract investment so easily
• Lack of well-defined investment policy

The disinvestment process needs to be taken up more seriously by the government. The Government should try to come out with a time bound programme to conduct the process with transparency in all the activities need to reach. Some consensus is very essential. Only then the real benefits can be reaped.
