5. Evolution of Public Sector
Undertakings
Post Independence, India was grappling with grave
socio-economic problems, such as inequalities in
income and low levels of employment, regional
imbalances in economic development and lack of
trained manpower, weak industrial base, inadequate
investments and infrastructure facilities, etc.
Hence, the roadmap for Public Sector was developed as
an instrument for self-reliant economic growth. The
country adopted the planned economic development
polices, which envisaged the development of PSUs.
6. Initially, the public sector was confined to core and
strategic industries. The second phase witnessed
nationalization of industries, takeover of sick
units from the private sector, and entry of the
public sector into new fields like manufacturing
consumer goods, consultancy, contracting and
transportation etc.
Evolution of Public Sector Undertakings
7. The Industrial Policy Resolution 1948 outlined the
importance of the economy and its continuous
growth in production and equitable distribution.
In this process, the policy envisaged active
engagement of the State in development of
industries.
Evolution of Public Sector Undertakings
8. The Industrial Policy Resolution 1956 classified industries into three
categories with respect to the role played by the State –
The first category (Schedule A) included industries whose future
development would be the exclusive responsibility of the State
The second (Schedule B) category included Enterprises whose
initiatives of development would principally be driven by the State but
private participation would also be allowed to supplement the efforts of
the State And,
The third category included the remaining industries, which were left
to the private sector.
Evolution of Public Sector Undertakings
9. In 1969, the government nationalized 14 major banks.
The Industrial Licensing Policy 1970 placed certain restrictions on
undertakings belonging to large industrial houses, defined on the
basis of assets exceeding Rs 350 mn.
In 1973, the definition of large industrial houses was adopted in
conformity with that of the Monopolies and Restrictive Trade
Practices Act (MRTP) 1969 and included companies whose assets
exceeded Rs 200 mn.
The Statement on Industrial Policy in July 1991 was also significant.
It brought in fundamental changes in the MRTP Act as well. The
statement revised the priority of the public sector.
Evolution of Public Sector Undertakings
11. Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) can be
classified as
☼Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs),
☼Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) and
☼Public Sector Banks (PSBs).
Classification of Public Sector Undertakings
12. The Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) are also
classified into 'strategic' and 'non-strategic'. Areas of
strategic CPSEs are:
Arms & Ammunition and the allied items of defence
equipments, defence air-crafts and warships
Atomic Energy (except in the areas related to the
operation of nuclear power and applications of
radiation and radio-isotopes to agriculture, medicine
and non-strategic industries)
Railways transport.
All other CPSEs are considered as non-strategic.
'strategic'
14. The status of Maharatna, Navratna,
Miniratna to CPSEs is conferred by the
Department of Public Enterprises - to
various Public Sector Undertakings.
These prestigious titles provide them
greater autonomy to compete in the global
market.
15. A company qualifying for the Maharatna - status should have an
average annual turnover of Rs 20,000 crore during the last three
years against Rs 25,000 crore prescribed earlier. The average
annual net worth of the company should be Rs 10,000 crore.
The Maharatna status empowers mega CPSEs to expand their
operations and emerge as global giants. The coveted status
empowers the boards of firms to take investment decisions up
to Rs 5,000 crore as against the present Rs 1,000 crore limit
without seeking government approval. The Maharatna firms
would now be free to decide on investments up to 15% of their
net worth in a project, limited to an absolute ceiling of Rs 5,000
crore.
Maharatna
16. The Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) fulfilling
the following criteria are eligible to be considered for
grant of Navaratna status:
Having Schedule 'A' and Miniratna Category-1 status.
Having at least three 'Excellent' or 'Very Good'
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) ratings during
the last five years.
Navratna
The Navratna status empowers PSEs to invest up to Rs. 1000 crore or
15% of their net worth on a single project without seeking government
approval. In a year, these companies can spend up to 30% of their net
worth not exceeding Rs. 1000 cr. They also enjoy the freedom to enter
joint ventures, form alliances and float subsidiaries abroad.
17. For Miniratna category I status, the CPSE should have made profit
in the last three years continuously, the pre-tax profit should have
been Rs. 30 crores or more in at least one of the three years and
should have a positive net worth. For category II, the CPSE should
have made profit for the last three years continuously and should
have a positive net worth.
Miniratnas can enter into joint ventures, set subsidiary companies
and overseas offices but with certain conditions. This designation
applies to PSEs that have made profits continuously for the last
three years or earned a net profit of Rs. 30 crore or more in one of
the three years.
Miniratna Category-II CPSEs
Category II miniratnas have autonomy to incurring the capital
expenditure without government approval up to Rs. 300 crore or
up to 50% of their net worth whichever is lower.

33. Role of Public Sector Undertakings
Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) have laid a strong
foundation for the industrial development of the
country. The public sector is less concerned with
making profits. Hence, they play a key role in nation
building activities, which take the economy in the right
direction.
PSUs provide leverage to the Government (their
controlling shareholder) to intervene in the economy
directly or indirectly to achieve the desired socio-
economic objectives and maximize long-term goals.
34. As agriculture is the backbone of Indian economy,
Public Sector Banks (PSBs) play a crucial role in
pushing the agricultural economy on to the
progressive pathway and helping develop rural
India. Moreover, PSUs play a substantial role in
the rural development by providing basic
infrastructural services to citizens.

improvement in their performance.
36. The government has also implemented revised salaries
for executives of PSEs/PSUs. Moreover, some
innovative measures such as Performance Related Pay
have been introduced to make them more efficient.
These incentives for the employees have been linked to
individual, group as well as company performance.

40. History and Formation
of Coal India Limited
With dawn of the Indian independence a greater
need for coal production was felt in the First Five
Year Plan. In 1951 the Working Party for the coal
Industry was set up which included representatives
of coal industry, labour unions and government
which suggested the amalgamation of small and
fragmented producing units. Thus the idea for a
nationalized unified coal sector was born. Integrated
overall planning in coal mining is a post-
independence phenomenon. National Coal
Development Corporation was formed with 11
collieries with the task of exploring new coalfields
and expediting development of new coal mines.
41. Factors to Nationalization of
Coal Industry in India
Nationalization of coal industry in India in the
early seventies was a fall out of two related events.
In the first instance it was the oil price shock,
which led the country to take up a close scrutiny
of its energy options. A Fuel Policy Committee set
up for this purpose identified coal as the primary
source of commercial energy.
42. Secondly, the much needed investment needed
for growth of this sector was not forthcoming
with coal mining largely in the hands of private
sector. The objectives of Nationalization as
conceived by late Mohan Kumaramangalam
were; Conservation of the scarce coal resource,
particularly coking coal, of the country by
1. Halting wasteful, selective and slaughter
mining.
2. Planned development of available coal
resources.
Factors to Nationalization of
Coal Industry in India
43. 3. Improvement in safety standards.
4. Ensuring adequate investment for optimal
utilization consistent with growth needs.
5. Improving the quality of life of the work force.
Moreover the coal mining which hitherto was with private
miners suffered with their lack of interest in scientific
methods, unhealthy mining practices etc. The living
conditions of miners under private owners were sub-
standard.
Factors to Nationalization of
Coal Industry in India
44. Formation of Coal India Limited
With the Government's national energy policy the
near total national control of coal mines in India
took place in two stages in 1970s.
The Coking Coal Mines (Emergency Provisions) Act
1971 was promulgated by Government on 16
October 1971 under which except the captive mines
of IISCO, TISCO, and DVC, the Government of
India took over the management of all 226 coking
coal mines and nationalised them on 1 May, 1972.
Bharat Coking Coal Limited was thus born.
45. Further by promulgation of Coal Mines (Taking over
of Management) Ordinance 1973 on 31 January
1973 the Central Government took over the
management of all 711 non-coking coal mines. In
the next phase of nationalization these mines were
nationalized with effect from 1 May 1973 and a
public sector company named Coal Mines
Authority Limited (CMAL) was formed to manage
these non coking mines.
A formal holding company in the form of Coal India
Limited was formed in November 1975 to manage
both the companies.
Formation of Coal India Limited
46. 1774 First coal mine started in Raniganj Coalfield
