Do you think the Navaratna policy of the government helps in improving the performance of public sector undertakings in India? How?
The government identifies PSUs and declares them as Maharatnas, Navratnas and Miniratnas in order to improve their efficiency and enable them to compete globally. They are given greater managerial and operational autonomy in taking various decisions. In 2011, about 90 public enterprises were designated with a different status. The grant of this special status resulted in better performance of these companies.
