what is your exact query/difficulty? Are you interested in knowing whether Govt company OR How govt company? whether......the answer is yes. How?..... Govt normally does not acquire any company by such method...rather, It floats a new company Forming a govt company by acquiring shares in private/public company is not the way followed by Govt.
