Government of India has achieved record disinvestment through Offer for Sale (OFS) in 2026. Read complete details and its impact on PSU stocks.
The Government of India has raised more than ₹25,490 crore in 2026 by selling stakes in various PSUs through the Offer for Sale route. This is the highest amount in the last 11 years.
This strong performance shows that investors still have high confidence in public sector companies. Many big and small investors bought shares of these PSUs.
Why is the government doing this?
- To raise money for important development projects
- To bring more transparency and efficiency in PSUs
- To increase public participation in government companies
The government has set a big target of ₹80,000 crore disinvestment for the financial year 2026-27. Experts believe this target can be achieved if the market remains positive.
Popular PSUs whose stakes were sold this year include companies from energy, banking, and infrastructure sectors. After these sales, many PSU stocks showed good performance in the market.
For common investors, this is a good opportunity to invest in strong companies with government backing. However, experts advise proper research before investing.
This move also supports the New Public Sector Enterprise Policy which focuses on strategic sectors while reducing presence in non-strategic areas.
