Dividend from non-financial CPSEs at ₹63,749 crore

In the fiscal year 2023-24, the government's dividend collections from non-financial central public sector enterprises and entities with minority stakes reached a record high of ₹63,749 crore, showing a 27.5% increase over the revised estimate. However, disinvestment proceeds fell slightly short of expectations, totaling ₹16,507 crore, mainly due to the IDBI Bank sell-off process spilling over into the current fiscal year. The government achieved divestment through the dilution of minor stakes in 10 entities, primarily via the offer for sale route.
