Abstract
In November 2019, the Government of India (GoI) announced the disinvestment of Bharat Petroleum Corporation of India (BPCL) as a part of its plan to meet the fiscal deficit of Rs. 2.1 trillion for the financial year 2020-21. Before the plans could fructify, the economic situation across the world turned volatile due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After postponing the proceedings several times, the GoI finally called for the submission of Expressions of Interest (EoI) from potential bidders at the end of the year 2020.
The response was lukewarm as the major players who had evinced an interest in BPCL initially, did not show much enthusiasm due to the prevailing uncertainty in the global markets. The much delayed disinvestment was expected to be completed during the second quarter of the financial year 2021-22. The present case study can be used to discuss the Disinvestment Policy, the rationale behind the disinvestment, the process and procedure for executing the disinvestment strategy, and the related challenges in valuation.
