Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said that the government would frame a policy where private entities are allowed to participate in all sectors. The government will also notify a list of strategic sectors where the presence of public sector enterprises (PSEs) is required.
She said, in strategic sectors, at least one enterprise will remain in the public sector but private sector will also be allowed. In other sectors, PSEs will be privatised. Companies in areas such as arms and ammunition, atomic energy and CPSEs are categorised as strategic CPSEs. She said a new coherent public sector enterprises policy will be formulated that will define strategic sectors which will have not more than four PSUs.
She mentioned ‘to minise wasteful administrative costs, number of enterprises in strategic sectors will ordinarily be only one to four; others will be privatised/merged/brought under holding companies.’
