An efficient and profit-earning PSU is a revenue generator for the government. But if a PSU is an inefficient and loss-making one, then the same PSU exerts an unnecessary burden on the government's scarce revenues and further may lead to a budget deficit. The loss-making PSUs should be privatized whereas it would not be fair to privatize a profit-making PSU. Privatizing a PSU may lead to the concentration of monopoly power in the private hands. Further, some of the PSUs like, water, railways, etc. enhance the welfare of the nation and are meant to serve the general public at a very nominal cost. Privatization of such important PSUs will lead to the loss of welfare of poor people. Hence, only less important PSUs should be privatized while leaving the core and important PSUs to be owned by the public sector. Instead of privatization of profit-making PSUs, the government can allow more degree of autonomy and accountability in their operations, which will not only increase their productivity and efficiency but also enhance their competitiveness with their private counterparts. read less

Let's grow and learn together.

Yes profit making PSUs should be privatised as Privatisation always helps in keeping the consumer needs uppermost, it helps the governments pay their debts, it helps in increasing long-term jobs and promotes competitive efficiency and open market economy.
