Explanation

The textbook explicitly states: "companies like Tata Iron and Steel Company Limited (TISCO) or Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) are privately owned." The classification public/private is based on ownership of assets, so TISCO = private sector. Don't confuse it with the public sector just because it sounds like a large industrial company.
