The Indian government has reportedly raised $1.98 billion from divestments in the financial year of 2023/24, falling short of its internal target of $2.26 billion. The government sold its stakes in approximately 10 state-run companies with hopes to raise funds for the country's economic development. However, the privatisation process has been impacted by upcoming general elections. Despite missing the divestment target, the government received higher dividends than expected from state-run companies, totaling approximately $8.36 billion in the same period. The government has not set a target for divestments in the current financial year.

Delhivery, a logistics company in India, expects its ecommerce shipments to grow by 15-20% this year.
