The correct answer is A. In July 2021, the Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) was moved from the Ministry of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises to the Ministry of Finance.

The move was aimed at bringing all Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) under the ambit of the Ministry of Finance, facilitating better coordination and control over their operations and disinvestment policies.

Within the Ministry of Finance, DPE functions as a part of the expenditure side and is responsible for framing policy guidelines for CPSEs, including matters related to wage negotiation, social obligations, and disinvestment.
