1.To achieve greater inflow of private capital

E.g. This revenue can be used to compensate the deficit finance.

2. Allows new firms to enter into the market and thus increases competition

3. Brings the low productivity PSUs back on track thereby improving the quality of goods, eliminating excessive manpower utilization and enabling high profits.
