Strategic disinvestment refers to the transfer of ownership and control of a public sector entity to some other entity (mostly to a private sector entity).
The minimum number of shares of a public sector enterprise to be divested is 51%, along with the transfer of management control.
The Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) under the Ministry of Finance is the nodal department for the strategic stake sale in Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs).
