The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has urged the government to fast-track the privatization of public sector enterprises (PSEs) in its Union Budget 2026-27 proposals. CII advocates for a calibrated, demand-driven approach to privatization, focusing on sectors where private participation can enhance efficiency and competitiveness. This strategy aims to mobilize resources for capital expenditure and developmental priorities, enabling the government to focus on core functions while empowering the private sector for industrial transformation and job creation.
