Government Boosts Public Sector Investments in Mutual Funds

The Indian government is encouraging mutual funds to invest more in public sector companies. DIPAM Secretary Arunish Chawla highlighted that these companies have paid record dividends, reaching ₹1.5 lakh crore in 2024-25. This move aims to help common investors, particularly senior citizens and minority shareholders, benefit from the growth of public enterprises. Chawla also emphasized the importance of private companies paying fair dividends to ensure small investors receive their rightful share. Currently, public sector enterprises account for only 10% of market capitalization but contribute 23% of dividends, showcasing their significance in the financial landscape.
