Referring to disinvestment in National Hydel Power Corporation and the Oil India (OIL), Mitra said while the enterprise value of NHPC rose from Rs 18,280 crore to Rs 37,702 crore after listing, that of OIL rose from Rs 9,844 crore to Rs 30,000 crore. Mitra, who took charge as disinvestment secretary in July this year, said his department had identified 61 Central PSUs for disinvestment based on their performance in 2007-08. Talks would be held with the administrative ministries of these CPSUs from January to March to work out the disinvestment modalities, he said. Pointing out that Sebi has permitted the corporates to take the auction route to sell shares to insititutional investors, he said, while this would ensure a higher return through follow-on public offers, it would also be possible to offer higher discounts to retail bidders.Multi Family Offices Asia commented:
