Yes. Besides being a good source, it will enable the government to reinvest in different sectors that need nurturing and incubating nacent industries.Government by disinvesting in profitable sectors such as aviation and telecom would encourage entrepenurtial growth that will contribute the tax kitty. This will also free government human resources to focus on governance rather than on business for which the civil servants are ill equipped.

NO! We must disinvest wholly only the loss making PSUs that too of commercial nature only. While mixed economy has been again proved to be best due to fall of Communist Socialism & Current US Style Crony Capitalist Recession and our only option is European Social Democracy with restriction of imports, ban on FIIs which are unstable and maximum 49% FDIs in commercial private sectors! Also, Govt must heavily invest in public healthcare, school education and infrastructure.
