History
CONCOR is one of the Indian public sector undertakings that is currently under consideration for privatisation.[4] The privatisation process, which involves the Indian Government selling 30.8% out of its shareholding of 54.8%, was initially projected to be completed in the fiscal year 2021–2022, but has since been delayed to the next fiscal year.[4] In April 2022, the Indian Government reduced Indian Railways' land licensing fee from 6% to 3% of the land's market value, which was done to assist the company's privatisation.[5]
