Claim: Provide comprehensive health coverage up to Rs. 5 lakh per family per year to around 50 crore people. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2023-06-27): Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY is the largest health care scheme in the world which aims at providing a health cover of Rs. 5 lakhs per family per year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalization to over 10.74 crores poor and vulnerable families (approximately 50 crore beneficiaries) that form the bottom 40% of the Indian population. The households included are based on the deprivation and occupational criteria of Socio-Economic Caste Census 2011 (SECC 2011) for rural and urban areas respectively. PM-JAY was earlier known as the National Health Protection Scheme (NHPS) before being rechristened. It subsumed the then existing Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY) which had been launched in 2008. The coverage mentioned under PM-JAY, therefore, also includes families that were covered in RSBY but are not present in the SECC 2011 database. PM-JAY is fully funded by the Government and cost of implementation is shared between the Central and State Governments. State of Kerala signed an agreement with NHA on 31st October 2018 and constituted State Health Agency (SHA) for implementing the scheme in the State as Karunya Arogya Suraksha Padhathi (KASP).

Claim: Disinvestment crossed target of 72,500 crore rupees. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2018-05-26): The BJP government published an infographic on the 48-months portal. In this infographic, the government makes four claims about the reforms and setting up of institutions in the economy. This article is a fact check of these claims.
Claim: Disinvestment crossed target of 72,500 crore rupees. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2024-07-23): India has maintained its disinvestment target for financial year 2025 at ₹50,000 crore, which it had set during the interim budget in February this year. For financial year 2024, the government's disinvestment proceeds had crossed the revised estimates of ₹30,000 crore. Divestment proceeds in the year gone by stood at ₹16,507 crore, while asset monetisation yielded a similar quantum. [...] The remaining ₹48,000 crore is likely to be fetched via dividends from the state-run companies and other investments.
Claim: Disinvestment crossed target of 72,500 crore rupees. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2024-02-01): Budget 2024: India Sets FY25 Divestment Target At Rs 50,000 Crore Divestment target for FY24 was revised lower to Rs 30,000 crore from Rs 51,000 crore earlier. India has set itself a divestment target of Rs 50,000 crore for fiscal 2025, even as it revised lower its estimate for the ongoing fiscal to Rs 30,000 crore from Rs 51,000 crore earlier.
Claim: Disinvestment crossed target of 72,500 crore rupees. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2024-07-16): This remarkable performance, as noted by the Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM), reflects the robust health of state-run firms across various sectors. Disinvestment and asset monetization also showed strong results, with proceeds totaling Rs 16,507 crore and Rs 16,000 crore respectively, beating the combined revised target of Rs 30,000 crore for FY24. [...] The combined target for divestment and asset monetisation represents just 1.6% of the government’s budgeted non-debt receipts for FY25, indicating a reduced reliance on these revenues to manage the fiscal deficit. [...] DIPAM Secretary Tuhin Kanta Pandey had previously emphasised that setting overly high annual disinvestment targets could create market uncertainties and adversely impact the value creation strategy for the CPSEs. Therefore, the government is committed to a "calibrated disinvestment strategy" to optimise outcomes, he said.
Claim: Disinvestment crossed target of 72,500 crore rupees. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2022-11-04): Home / Economy / News / Disinvestment target for FY24 to be at a 'realistic level' of Rs 65K-crore [...] The disinvestment target for the year 2023-24 may be set at around Rs 65,000 crore, a report in Financial Express (FE) said. This will be on a "realistic level" keeping in mind the receipts of the current year that may range between Rs 45,000 and Rs 50,000 crore. Currently, Centre's receipts from disinvestment stand at Rs 24,544 crore. It is just 38 per cent of the annual target presented in the Budget 2022. A major chunk of this, close to Rs 20,500 crore, was achieved only via selling a 3.5 per cent stake in the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC).
Claim: Disinvestment crossed target of 72,500 crore rupees. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2017-10-23): Earlier this year, when the government set a steep disinvestment target of Rs 72,500 crore, it was dismissed as just wishful thinking. The BJP government, which took over the reins three years ago, did not achieve the targets it set in its first two years. [...] Achieving divestment targets will clearly be a depature from past performance. Since the idea of divestment was mooted first in 1992-93, the respective governments of the day failed to meet targets in all but three in a span of 16 years. In most years, the gap between targets has been as high as Rs 20, 000 crore. The SBI report noted that the government will be able to meet the divestment target of Rs 72,500 crore as Rs 60,000 crore has already been realized or soon to be realized and hence the fear of low divestment receipts is "completely unwarranted".
Claim: Disinvestment crossed target of 72,500 crore rupees. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2021-12-18): Disinvestment refers to the sale or liquidation of assets, i.e, converting an asset into cash or cash equivalents by selling them in the open market and distributing them to claimants. It generally includes central and state public sector enterprises, projects, or other fixed assets. The main objectives of disinvestment in India are to reduce the fiscal burden and improve the efficiency of the enterprise, increase revenue sources, bring in private players, promote competition, and develop a strong capital market. [...] Looking at some political trends in disinvestment, the data from DIPAM suggest that till 8 November 2018, total disinvestment done by NDA-led governments was almost twice (58%) than that done by the UPA-led governments since 1991. There have been shortcomings and disinvestment targets have not been met successfully in the past. Some of the reasons for such low proceeds have been unattractive offers for private investors, opposing views in the valuation process, lack of will, and unfavourable market conditions. [...] According to the CMIE report dated 5 November 2021, Finance secretary, T V Somanathan pointed that Covid-19 derailed the plan in the first two quarters of 2021-22, making it difficult and unlikely for the government to meet the disinvestment target for this session. The unorganised sector has been hit the worst due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with loss of employment and wealth. Such volatility adds to high levels of uncertainty. However, if strong liquidity persists and core economic sectors keep doing well, the government might find itself in a position to achieve a higher percentage of its divestment target.
Claim: Disinvestment crossed target of 72,500 crore rupees. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2024-02-01): The Modi Government 2.0 has set a disinvestment target of Rs 50,000 crore for the financial year 2024-25, as per the finance bill tabled. The Finance Minister did not mention disinvestment targets in her sixth budget speech. Anticipating a wide margin-miss on divestment targets for the current financial year 2023-24, the government has revised it to Rs 30,000 crore. The revision has been in line with the expectation of Dalal Street as marketmen and economists saw it at around Rs 20,000 crore against the previous target of Rs 51,000 crore for the current fiscal. The government’s disinvestment agenda, particularly strategic divestment, has been missing the targets since the FY20 budget. As per Department of Investment and Public Asset Management, oftenly abbreviated as DIPAM's portal, disinvestment receipts as of January 31 stood at Rs 12,504.32 crore, which was 24.5 per cent of the FY24 budget estimate of Rs 51,000 crore. Brokerage firms including Nomura India and Elara Securities were expecting a modest disinvestment target Rs 40,000 crore, which would be 0.1 per cent of GDP, compared with 'the overly ambitious target' for this year. However, global brokerage firms Jefferies believe disinvestments may boost post elections, partly as the government capitalises on the sharp run in PSU stocks. In the current financial year, the government has successfully completed offer-for-sale in Coal India, Rail Vikas Nigam (RVNL), SJVN, IRCON International Ltd, while it launched an IPO of Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) which was a mix of fresh shares sales and OFS by the center.
Claim: Disinvestment crossed target of 72,500 crore rupees. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2024-01-23): Furthermore, in FY22, the government missed its original target as well as its revised target by a huge margin. The original divestment target for the previous financial year was ₹1.75 lakh crore, which was later reduced by 55 percent to ₹78,000 crore. However, the government was able to raise just ₹13,531 crore, only 18 percent of the revised target as the initial share sale of LIC was pushed to FY23 to avoid market volatility. This was the lowest mop-up after the disinvestment program was revived in FY10. [...] Before FY22, the lowest disinvestment receipts were in FY12 at ₹14,000 crore against the target of ₹40,000 crore. Meanwhile, the highest divestment receipt for the government has been ₹1 lakh crore in FY18 against a target of ₹72,500 crore. A large chunk of this ( ₹36,915 crore) was due to the acquisition of HPCL by ONGC. Meanwhile, in 2018-19, the disinvestment mop-up stood at ₹84,972 crore against the Budget target of ₹80,000 crore. In 2016-17, the government had missed the budgeted disinvestment target. While the Budget had pegged the target at ₹56,500 crore, the government was able to mop up ₹46,247 crore. In 2015-16, the government had realised ₹23,996 crore from CPSE disinvestment, lower than the Budget target of ₹69,500 crore.
Claim: Disinvestment crossed target of 72,500 crore rupees. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2023-02-08): The story so far: In the Union Budget for 2023-24, the government has set a disinvestment target of ₹51,000 crore, down nearly 21% from the budget estimate for the current year and just ₹1,000 crore more than the revised estimate. It is also the lowest target in seven years. Moreover, the Centre has not met the disinvestment target for 2022-23 so far, having realised ₹31,106 crore to date, of which, ₹20,516 crore or close to a third of the budgeted estimate came from the IPO of 3.5% of its shares in the Life Insurance Corporation (LIC). [...] To begin with, different central governments over the last three decades have been able to meet annual disinvestment targets only six times. Since coming to power in 2014, the BJP-led NDA government has met (and overachieved) its disinvestment targets twice. In 2017-18, the government earned disinvestment receipts of a little over ₹1 lakh crore as against a target of ₹72,500 crore, and in 2018-19, it brought in ₹94,700 crore when the target was set at ₹80,000 crore.
Claim: Disinvestment crossed target of 72,500 crore rupees. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2023-02-10): In the Union Budget 2023-24, the government has set a disinvestment target of Rs 51,000 crore, down nearly 21% from the budget estimate for the current year and just Rs 1,000 crore more than the revised estimate. It is also the lowest target in seven years. [...] - In 2017-18, the government earned disinvestment receipts of a little over ₹1 lakh crore as against a target of ₹72,500 crore, and in 2018-19, it brought in ₹94,700 crore when the target was set at ₹80,000 crore. - The Government has not met the disinvestment target for 2022-23 so far, having realised Rs 31,106 crore to date, of which, Rs 20,516 crore or close to a third of the budgeted estimate came from the IPO (Initial Public Offering) of 3.5% of its shares in the Life Insurance Corporation (LIC).
Claim: Disinvestment crossed target of 72,500 crore rupees. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2024-02-01): India has set its disinvestment target for financial year 2025 at ₹50,000 crore. Additionally, the financial year 2024 disinvestment target has been cut to ₹30,000 crore. The government had earlier pegged the financial year 2024 disinvestment target at ₹51,000 crore. [...] As of date, the government has managed to garner ₹12,504 crore in financial year 2024 through stake sale in various companies like SJVN and NHPC among others.
Claim: Disinvestment crossed target of 72,500 crore rupees. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2024-01-05): The Centre may aim for a modest disinvestment target of around Rs 30,000 crore in 2024-25, 40% lower than the target of Rs 51,000 crore for the current financial year, which is set to be missed by 60%, official sources said. [...] Non-debt capital inflows via this route could be around Rs 20,000 crore or 40% of the target in FY24. The year has seen delays in execution of most of the strategic disinvestment plans including that of IDBI Bank, NMDC Steel and ConCor, partly due to a spate of state elections. [...] The government has never met its ambitious disinvestment targets since FY20 (see chart) due to a host of factors including volatility in the market, obstacles created by administrative ministries and electoral compulsions.
Claim: Disinvestment crossed target of 72,500 crore rupees. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2024-01-19): The government’s disinvestment receipts tally this year could end up being around ₹15,000 crore, a far cry from the ₹51,000 target set in the 2023-24 Budget, CareEdge Ratings said on Friday. Moreover, most corporate leaders expect the divestment target for 2024-25 to be scaled down to ₹40,000 crore, as per a survey of 120 industry captains on expectations from the upcoming Interim Budget conducted by the firm. [...] The Centre has so far netted ₹10,051.7 crore from shares sales in public sector enterprises, as per data from the Department for Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) in the Finance Ministry, which is less than 20% of the year’s target.
Claim: Disinvestment crossed target of 72,500 crore rupees. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2018-02-01): - Loans to Women Self Help Groups will increase to Rs.75,000 crore in 2019 from 42,500 crore last year. [...] - Centres of excellence to be set up on robotics, AI, Internet of things etc - Disinvestment crossed target of Rs 72,500 crore to reach Rs 1,00,000 crore - Comprehensive Gold Policy on the anvil to develop yellow metal as an asset class - 100 percent deduction proposed to companies registered as Farmer Producer Companies with an annual turnover upto Rs. 100 crore on profit derived from such activities, for five years from 2018-19.

Claim: Disinvestment crossed target of 72,500 crore rupees. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2023-12-12): For 2015-16, the government set a disinvestment target of nearly Rs 70,000 crore, 20 per cent higher than the previous year’s target. Actual proceeds, however, fell short of the target by 40 per cent, because of adverse market conditions triggered by demonetisation in November 2016. The following year was no better even though the target was significantly scaled down to Rs 56,500 crore. It was only in 2017-18 that the government’s push for disinvestment began to bear fruit. A higher target was set, at Rs 72,500 crore. And pleasingly for the government, actual proceeds far exceeded the target, crossing Rs 1 lakh crore for the first time in the history of disinvestment. FY 2018-19 also turned out to be good, with proceeds from disinvestment exceeding the target for a second straight year. [...] In reality, however, it’s the lack of willingness and policy inertia that seem to be plaguing the disinvestment programme. Which is why, even in 2022-23, disinvestment proceeds totaled Rs 33,500 crore, just about half of the Rs 65,000-crore target set for the year. In the first eight months of the current fiscal year, the government has raised a meagre Rs 8,800 crore against a full-year target of Rs 51,000 crore.
