The government proposes to disinvest its entire shareholding in SCIL comprising 29,6942,977 equity shares, which amount to 63.75% of SCIL's equity share capital.

Those interested in picking up a stake, need to submit their expression of interest by February 13, 2021. 

Currently, SCI's total market value is about Rs 3,915 crore.

The in-principle approval from the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs for strategic divestment of SCIL came in November 2019. The onset of the Coronavirus pandemic delayed the disinvestment plans.
