Is this the right time for Disinvestment?

With the equity markets having come off their historic lows in March 2009, there are certain signs of recovery.

PSU disinvestment of 10% as per the Government's announced intentions, at attractive prices to retail investors, could ensure a strong message to the investment community about the Government's resolve to continue with reforms.
