The government has received about Rs 5,001 crore as a dividend tranche from ONGC, taking the total dividend receipt from all CPSEs (Central Public Sector Enterprises) so far this fiscal to Rs 23,797 crore.
“The government has received about Rs 5,001 crore from ONGC as dividend tranche,” Tuhin Kanta Pandey, secretary in the Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (Dipam), tweeted.
Dipam, in 2020, advised CPSEs to follow a consistent dividend policy and strive to pay higher dividends taking into account factors such as profitability, capex requirements, cash/reserve and net guidelines.
