The Government follows a policy of disinvestment in CPSEs through Strategic Disinvestment and Minority Stake sale. The Minority Stake sale does not involve transfer of management control of CPSE.  Strategic  Disinvestment  implies  disinvestment  of  substantial  stake  of government shareholding of CPSEs along with transfer of management control. It  is  expected  that  the  strategic  buyer  will  bring  funds  /  technology  /  new management  etc.  for  the  optimum  development  of  business  potential  of  the CPSEs  under  Strategic Disinvestment. The growth of the CPSEs,  post disinvestment,  would  be  able  to  generate  higher  economic  activity  including growth of the ancillary industries and will create job opportunities for all including SCs, STs and OBCs.

(b  &  c): Department  of  Public  Enterprises  (DPE)  being  a  nodal  coordinating Department for CPSEs issues instructions to CPSEs to follow guidelines issued by the Government from time to time in regard to reservation in employment.
