The government on Wednesday set an ambitious target of garnering Rs 72,500 crore through the disinvestment route in 2017-18, a 60 per cent increase over the 2016-17 target of Rs 56,500 crore. This is the highest ever divestment target set by any government in India outdoing the Rs 69,500 crore of 2015-16.
A 'Digi Gaon' initiative will also be launched to provide telemedicine, education and skills through digital technology, Jaitley said in his Budget speech.
Government will move ahead with the listing of Railway PSUs -- IRCTC, IRCON and IRFC -- and come out with a procedure for a time-bound listing of CPSEs.
