Tuhin Kant Pandey, Secretary, Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) took to Twitter stating that the media conjectures "doubting the feasibility" of the state insurer this fiscal year "is not correct."
The government is unlikely to come up with the IPO of Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) in the current financial year ending March 2022.
