The timeline of the government’s PSE policy, which envisaged minimum government, has been moved up, said Tuhin Kanta Pandey, secretary, Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM), when asked about the possibility of CPSE mergers to improve efficiency. The government had announced a new public sector enterprise policy as part of its Atmanirbhar Bharat reforms to minimise presence in key strategic sectors and exit the non-strategic ones. Noting that the government was still focused on becoming a more privatised economy, Pandey, in an interview with Moneycontrol, noted that the focus is on value creation.
