Public Sector Enterprises Policy

The Public Sector Enterprises (PSE) policy recently received nod from the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs. It was first proposed in the Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan in the mid-2020. It aims at privatisation of all central public sector enterprises in all sectors, while retaining government ownership of up to 4 enterprises in strategic sectors. Around 18 strategic sectors are identified for disinvestment, including coal, crude oil, steel, power, telecom, atomic energy and defence.
