As the finance ministry focuses on achieving the sell-off target of Rs 900 billion for 2019-20, it is looking at sourcing consultancy firms for their support towards selling land and building assets of public sector companies.

July first is the last date for firms who find themselves eligible to apply. As reported, the selected firms will be engaged by DIPAM initially for one year, which can be extended for a period of two years.
