Govt to delay large stake sales, ETF launch as Indian rupee dips

July 10, 2013--Concerned over choppy market condition and the fast depreciating rupee, the government may choose to push back launch of the much-awaited exchange traded fund (ETF) of Central public sector enterprises (CPSEs) and key stake sale issues.

"In the current situation, investors are wary and any major disinvestment issue will not see much interest," said a senior official, adding that the government will, at present, largely concentrate on selling stake in those public sector units that have to comply with the minimum public float norms.
