5. Public Sector: Inception India at that time was predominantly an agrarian economy with a weak industrial base low level of savings inadequate investments and infrastructure facilities The 1948 Resolution envisaged development of core sectors through the public enterprises. Public Sector would correct the regional imbalances and create employment.

8. Major Features of PSU 18 Navratnas contribute 15% of GDP and 47% of total income of the PSUs FY 2009. Share of PSUs in India’s GDP at market prices at 11.12%. Contribution to the extent of 27% in the total industrial output PSUs account for more than 1/3rd of total revenue receipts of the Central Government The net worth of all enterprises stood at Rs 4,530 bn (FY 07) PSUs paid a dividend of Rs 268 bn in FY07
9. Major Features of PSU Account for 11% of the total merchandise exports of the country 53% growth in turnover between FY04 and FY07 Net Profit increase from Rs 695 bn in FY06 to Rs 816 bn in FY07 Number of loss making institutions decreased from 89 in FY04 to 59 in FY07
10. Maharatnas Mega public sector undertakings ONGC, SAIL and NTPC got greater financial and operational autonomy after the government accorded the Maharatna status to these firms to help them emerge as global giants. The coveted status empowered the boards of these firms to take investment decisions up to Rs 5,000 crore as against the present Rs 1,000 crore limit without seeking government approval.
12. Problems faced by Public Sector Undertakings in India Low Productivity. Low capacity utilization and low efficiency. Low rate of return on capital. Large number of loss making firms. Poor work ethics and quality of services. Over capitalization due to substantial time and cost overruns. Bureaucratic controls. Most of the PSU’s were monopolies in their industries due to tight governmental controls, and hence they were not very efficient
13. Reasons for poor performance of PSUs Red tapes Bureaucracy Risk aversion Ineffective governance structures Meddling by politicians Corruption Rampant nepotism in appointments of managers Inability to hire the best talent because of poor compensation

Comparison of public and private sector Dun and Bradstreet Research Aug 2009 Top 31 government-owned listed companies (29 central government companies and 2 state government companies) in terms of total turnover. Subsequently, it identified private companies who had a total turnover of over Rs 10 bn. 216 private companies where studied.
21. Effective tax rates PSUs not only take the lead while contributing to the government’s kitty through direct taxes but also lead when it comes to rewarding their shareholders with dividends.

40. Criticism of Disinvestment The equity in PSUs essentially belongs to the people. Thus, in the absence of wider national consensus, a mere government decision to disinvest is not totally justifiable. It is not clear if the rationale for disinvestment process is well-founded. The assumption of higher efficiency, better management practices and better monitoring by the private shareholders may not always be true.

49. Is Privatization good or bad? General argument given for better performance of private sector is their ownership structure. But it is not fullproof It does not explain the performance of Singapore Airlines and SingTel, which are GLCs. Most successful global corporations have dispersed ownership with no dominant owner. There are numerous poor-performing PSUs. Indeed, some of the private sector units of today are ailing PSUs of yesterday.
50. PSUs and Recession Being the largest commercial enterprises in the country, PSUs provide a huge leverage to the government (their controlling shareholder) to intervene in the economy directly or indirectly to achieve the desired socio-economic objectives. At times, these objectives may be misplaced but at others especially in times of do-or-die situation such as in 2008, PSUs play a key role in steering the national economy in the right direction. LIC, one of the largest PSUs, was probably the only large investor in the Indian equity market when rest of the large investors preferred to stay away during the market turmoil of 2008
51. Flip Sides Trade unions and productivity Public sector is a mass employer
52. What’s making News? It is encouraging to note that the government made its intentions clear to roll back the fiscal deficit to 5.5% from 6.8% of GDP in FY 11. India has a digestible appetite to absorb the massive investments in PSUs via disinvestments mainly due to its 38 % savings rate. Disinvestment of 25000 crores in FY 2010 proposed by finance minister in Union Budget. Not so promising start with IPOs of NTPC.
53. The Verdict In conclusion, the group opines that “performance” is the criterion of judging the credibility of a PSU. But the government at the same time needs to adhere to a restrained calculated approach in going in for disinvestment and then “perish” i.e. privatization. India is a welfare state and the social strata need to be looked into as well. Hence, the PSUs should be pegged to perform or they have to meet up with the fate of privatization.
Navratnas’ total income equal to 15% of GDPThe 18 Navratnas as identified by the Department of Public Enterprises had a total income of Rs 6,871.62 bn in FY08, which is equivalent to 15% of India’s GDP at current market prices. The share of these Navratnas in the combined total income of 121 CPSUs was an impressive 47% during FY08. Their combined net worth was 41% of the total net worth of all profiled CPSUs.
Banking & financial services sector has highest representation but lower share in total income: The banking and financial services sector had the maximum representation of companies (31%). In spite of this, the share of oil and gas generating companies in the total income of all the 121 companies was more than twice the share of banking and financial services companies.
. It does not mean PSUs are important only during the time of crisis. In normal course also it is difficult to think of the Indian economy without public enterprises given India's socio-economic and demographic reality. The sector is deeply entrenched in the domestic economy and their business operations are now enmeshed in the common man's life.
