Should Indian PSUs Consider ADR/GDR Programs at the Time of Share Sale through Disinvestment?

For the last several years, India has embarked on an ambitious program of partial divestment of the govern-ment’s stake in many of the country’s public sector enterprises. This crucial program has largely looked to the domestic market so far and, by and large, such divestments have been carried out through public offerings in India. Is it time now to look beyond the shores and list such public sector enterprises on overseas exchanges, by offering part of the share sale in the form of ADR or GDR programs?
