The Cabinet is likely to consider tomorrow selling 10 per cent Government stake in Engineers India Ltd.
EIL is one of the 60 companies identified by the Department of Disinvestment for selling government stake and the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs may consider a follow-on public offer at its meeting tomorrow, sources said.
The company provides engineering consultancy mostly to oil and gas companies like Indian Oil and Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC).
However, it is unlikely that Engineer's India Limited's proposed disinvestment would be carried out in the current fiscal, the source added.
The government holds 90.40 per cent in the company.
The company has a turnover of Rs 1,532 crore with profit after tax (PAT) at Rs 345 crore in the last fiscal.
In the current fiscal, two PSUs-Oil India and NHPC-has already been listed, while four others-NTPC, Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam, REC and NMDC- have received the Cabinet's nod for selling Government's stake.
The disinvestment department of the Ministry of Finance is in talks with administrative ministries of 60 CPSUs, including SAIL, BSNL, Coal India, for selling government stake.
