Centre plans to divest near 25% stake in MSTC

The Centre is planning to bring down its stake in MSTC, the company’s Director (Finance) AK Basu said here on Thursday. The Centre’s stake in the Miniratna PSU currently stands at over 89 per cent. The remaining 10-odd per cent is held by various industry associations. According to Basu, the plan is to opt for an “offer-for-sale” and not an IPO to bring down the stake to 65 per cent. “The government’s stake post-dilution will stand at 65 per cent,” he told reporters on the sidelines of the foundation stone-laying ceremony of its corporate building in the satellite township of New Town on the north eastern fringes of the city. He further maintained that the company was also exploring options to divest stake in its subsidiary Ferro Scrap Nigam. Having reported a turnover of ₹51,000 crore last fiscal, it is eyeing 10-20 per cent growth this fiscal. “We should cross ₹60,000 crore at least,” Basu said.

MSTC gets Odisha government's mandate to e-auction liquor licences

: "There are only two real ways to get ahead today, sell liquor or drink it." What American actor WC Fields probably said in the early nineties still holds true — at least for state-owned trading company MSTC Ltd. From auctioning scrap to selling liquor dealerships, the lesser known PSU has come a long way. In a first-of-its-kind move, MSTC has been approached by the Odisha government to e-auction the state's liquor licences. So far, the state has been holding manual auctions for the dealerships. Thanks to the coal auctions, the miniratna company under the steel ministry is in demand, with none other than power and coal minister Piyush Goyal and Andhra Pradesh chief minister Chandrababu Naidu among its admirers. "The coal minister, who is a chartered accountant himself, and tech savvy Chandrababu Naidu are very impressed with MSTC's work," said a company official. Other states including Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh have ap...
