NEW DELHI: The government may hold on to its shares in blue chips such as ITC and L&T despite the Specified Undertaking of Unit Trust of India (SUUTI) seeking bids from merchant bankers to advise the agency on its holdings that span across sectors.

While several experts have suggested that SUUTI, which is wholly owned by the government, sell some of the marquee stocks instead of divesting stake in PSUs to raise money, a source in the government said that rushing in with the sale may not be prudent.

Larsen & Toubro (L&T), the engineering and construction major, is all set to take its engineering services business unit, L&T Technology Services public. The Group will be filing the draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) in the next three to five weeks.

The technology services business is looking at a valuation of $1-1.5 billion, said two sources in the know.

Government has invited merchant bankers to help it sell minority stakes in 51 companies, including RIL, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank and L&T, and is looking at exiting them within three years.

The Specified Undertaking of UTI (SUUTI) has investments in these 51 listed as well as unlisted companies, like Hindustan Unilever, ITC Ltd, Jaiprakash Associates and a host of Tata Group firms.
