Bharat Wagon and Engineering Company Limited (BWEL), Burn Standard Company Limited (BSCL), and Lagan Jute Machinery Company Limited (LJMCL) are/were Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs). Historically and at the time these companies were operational as government entities, they fell under the administrative control of the Ministry of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises (specifically the Department of Heavy Industry). Both BWEL and BSCL were railway wagon manufacturing companies initially under the Ministry of Railways but were later transferred to the Department of Heavy Industry. LJMCL was also under the Department of Heavy Industry, dealing with jute machinery.

Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) are typically under the administrative control of specific government Ministries based on their sector of operation.

The Ministry of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises is responsible for public sector enterprises in the heavy manufacturing and engineering sectors. Both BWEL and BSCL have since been liquidated. LJMCL continues to exist as a subsidiary of Braithwaite & Co. Ltd., also a CPSE under the Ministry of Heavy Industries.
