The Government has started process of divesting its holding in the NHPC (formerly National Hydroelectric Power Corporation). In this regard, the government is planning to engage merchant bankers, selling brokers and has invited proposals from reputed merchant bankers.

The Government plans to divest 11.36 per cent out of its shareholding of 85.96 per cent in the share capital of NHPC through an offer for sale through stock exchanges.

The share capital of the corporation is Rs 11,071 crore as on March 31, 2014. Public shareholding is 14.04 per cent. According to SEBI regulations, minimum public shareholding should be 25 per cent.
