Merging of steel PSUs

This is with reference to the Union Cabinet's decision to merge public-sector steel companies, Steel Authority of India (SAIL) and Indian Iron & Steel Company (IISCO).

The merger of PSUs involved in the same trade will largely reduce overheads and advertising expenses, and avoid unnecessary competition amongst them. The Union government should plan mergers of public-sector oil-companies and banks also. Mergers of the latter will again reduce the workload and prove to be beneficial to the customer as well.
