Finance ministry will now have six departments while DPE's hereto parent ministry, the ministry of heavy industries and public enterprises will now be called the ministry of heavy industries. Previously, the <keyword id="44532" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Disinvestment">disinvestment</keyword> ministry - created under the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government - was merged with the Finance Ministry and is now a department under it.

The rejig comes ahead of Cabinet expansion slated later in the day. The gazette notification issued said these rules may be called the government of India (Allocation of Business) Three Hundred and Sixty First Amendment Rules, 2021. "They shall come into force at once," the notification said. Presently, the finance ministry has five departments -- Economic Affairs, Revenue, Expenditure, Investment and Public Asset Management and Financial Services. With the addition, this will be the sixth department under the finance ministry. Giving details of the functions performed by the DPE, the notification said coordination of matters of general policy affecting all Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs), evaluation and monitoring the performance of PSEs, including the memorandum of understanding mechanism, review of capital projects and expenditure in CPSEs. Besides, the DPE frames measures aimed at improving performance of CPSEs and other capacity building initiatives of PSEs, rendering advice relating to revival, restructuring or closure of PSEs including the mechanisms, counselling, training and rehabilitation of employees in CPSEs under Voluntary Retirement Scheme and categorisation of CPSEs including conferring 'Ratna' status, among others. The heavy industries ministry will continue to be the administrative ministry related primarily to the capital goods sector. As many as 44 CPSEs including Maruti Udyog Limited, BHEL, Cement Corporation, <keyword id="173465" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Scooters-India">Scooters India</keyword>, HMT and various other subsidiaries would be under the Ministry of Heavy Industries. Many companies under the ministry are sick and up for sale under the disinvestment programme of the government. Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman in her Budget 2021-22 already announced that a revised mechanism for fast-tracking closure of loss making PSUs would be worked out and an incentive package would be developed to incentivise states to sell stake in state PSUs. To monetise lands owned by CPSEs, a special purpose vehicle (SPV) would be developed. She also announced a big-ticket privatisation agenda, including privatisation of two public sector banks and one general insurance company to garner Rs 1.75 lakh crore from stake sale in public sector companies and financial institutions during 2021-22. As part of the divestment strategy for the financial sector, the government has decided to go for a mega initial public offering (IPO) of Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and residual stake sale in IDBI Bank during the financial year beginning April. Besides, strategic sale of Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL), <keyword id="11588399" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="shipping-corp-container-corporation">Shipping Corp, Container Corporation</keyword>, <keyword id="2459265" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Neelachal-Ispat-Nigam-Ltd">Neelachal Ispat Nigam Ltd</keyword>, <keyword id="132488" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Pawan-Hans">Pawan Hans</keyword>, Air India among others, would be completed in 2021-22.

Transactions for four PSUs were halted as they are recommended for closure. Two of them were held up due to litigation, while transactions for 20 PSUs are in the process.

Every year, the government sets a target amount it hopes to earn by selling stake in public sector enterprises, receiving dividends from owned companies, amount realised from exchange traded funds and so on. So far the government has only met merely 5% of its divestment target of ₹1.75 lakh crore and is short of ₹1.65 lakh crore more. The government has huge hopes of meeting its huge disinvestment target from the LIC IPO where it is reportedly expected to sell 5-10% of its stake. However, even after selling stake in the IPO, it would still not meet its divestment target, here’s how. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none; table-layout: fixed; width: 468pt;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">How much will govt get from LIC IPO </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Funds govt would receive </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Short of divestment target by… </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">If it sells 5% stake </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">₹75,000 crore </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">₹90,671 crore </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">If it sells 10% stake </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">₹1.50 lakh crore </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">₹15,671 crore </td></tr></tbody></table><a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/markets/ipos/fpos/lic-ipo-could-make-the-psu-indias-second-largest-company-after-reliance/articleshow/88850447.cms">Reportedly</a>, the government is pushing for a valuation of ₹15 lakh crore for the state-owned insurer that will soon file for the country’s biggest IPO before March 2022.

government would sell stake in Shipping Corp of India, Air India, Neelachal Ispat Nigam Ltd, Container Corp of India, IDBI Bank, BEML Ltd and Pawan Hans, among others. Adding to it, the government was to privatise two state owned banks and sell stake in one insurance firm. The government is yet to sell stake in these public sector companies, and they seem unlikely before March 2022.

The Modi government is soon going to gift the natives of <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Northeasts-first-smart-village-along-Indo-Bhutan-border/articleshow/50995065.cms">Northeast India</a> a brand new airline, which would be based out of <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/PM-Modi-slams-former-UPA-govt-says-I-am-destined-to-do-good-work-while-inaugurating-gas-cracker-project-in-Assam/articleshow/50867244.cms">Assam’s</a> capital Guwahati, and would connect all capitals of the seven sister states, along with Sikkim’s capital <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Now-you-can-book-OYO-Rooms-on-your-next-trip-to-Darjeeling-and-Gangtok/articleshow/52296199.cms">Gangtok</a>.

The to-be launched airlines will be a subsidiary of Pawan Hans Helicopters Ltd, and would most likely start its operations with a fleet of 6 fixed-wing planes and 5 helicopters. 
 The planned subsidiary will have an equity base of Rs 150 crore, with 51% of its shares owned by Pawan Hans Helicopters Ltd while the North Eastern Council (<keyword id="18306" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="NEC">NEC</keyword>) will own the rest 49%.
