No going back on privatisation of BPCL, Air India despite COVID-19 carnage
NEW DELHI: COVID-19 carnage may have slightly pushed back timelines but there is certainly no going back on privatisation of bluechip public sector undertakings like BPCL and Air India as the government feels it has no business to be in business.
The spadework started late last year and 2020 was supposed to be the landmark year in India’s history of privatisation with at least three top PSUs — the nation’s second-biggest fuel retailer Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL), national carrier Air India and Shipping Corporation of India (SCI) up for sale.
