The Indian government plans to reduce its stake in four public sector banks, including Central Bank of India and UCO Bank, as part of a broader divestment strategy. Two additional state-owned banks are also slated for privatisation under this upcoming phase of reforms. Authorities are finalising the specific timelines and transaction structures for these stake sales. The move aims to meet disinvestment targets and encourage greater private participation in the banking sector. The exact identities of the other two banks included in the privatisation plan remain unconfirmed by officials.
