State-run trading company MMTC has initiated the process of divesting its 9.55 per cent equity in the Indian Commodity Exchange (ICEX), marking its exit from the bourse.

The exchange is a public-private partnership, with Reliance Exchange Next Ltd, MMTC, Indiabulls Housing Finance Ltd, Indian Potash Ltd, Kribhco, and IDFC Bank as the major shareholders.

In January last year, MMTC had divested its 10 per cent equity in the exchange. Now, it wants to liquidate the balance 3.2 million shares with a face value of five rupees each.

MMTC has proposed to rope in a consultant or merchant banker to manage the disinvestment.
