Hi amarnath_rc

As per my understanding, to distribute private applications on iOS devices, you need to have an agent such as Test Flight. Test Flight is developed by Apple and is available for developers registered with the iOS Developer Program. Note that this is for testing out beta versions of the app internally. But for a small-scale of device inventory, you could try it.

With Apple Business Manager, you can distribute apps available in the App store. You can purchase licenses in bulk using Apple VPP and go about publishing, assigning or re-assigning them on your device inventory as needed. 

The best option, if you are looking for a full-fledged app management on private apps installed on your device inventory, enrolled into ABM is to go for an MDM.

Few MDMs offer extensive application management within their platform to publish private apps on iOS devices using Plist link or IPA file. You can delete, update or version private apps within the MDM.
