Abstract
The chapter is a narrative review of the empirical studies conducted on Indian PSE's post disinvestment. Eighteen papers were selected through a process of search and exclusion to meet the criteria specified and results synthesized under four inductively derived themes. The review shows wide variability in performance outcomes of PSE's post disinvestment.

Future research directions are proposed.
