New Delhi, May 8 (IANS) The catering unit of Indian Railways IRCTC is likely to file the draft red herring prospectus for its ₹400 crore IPO next month with market regulator Sebi.

The other modes of disinvestment which the DIPAM would take are strategic disinvestment of a host of CPSEs and monetising non-core assets of state-owned companies and next tranches of Bharat 22 and CPSE ETF.
Bharat-22 ETF, which was launched in 2017-18, has 16 central public sector enterprises covering six sectors, 3 public sector banks and 3 private sector companies where the government holds minority stake.
