Having atleast three ‘Excellent’ or ‘Very Good’ Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) ratings during the last five years.

            As compared to other CPSEs, the Boards of Navaratna CPSEs have been delegated enhanced powers in the areas of  (i) capital expenditure; (ii) equity investment in  joint ventures/subsidiaries in India or abroad,  (iii) human resources  development (iv) orgnaisational restructuring and (v) raising of  debt from the domestic capital markets and borrowings from international markets.

            The grant of Navratna status to CPSEs is not directly linked to their turnover.  It depends on the criteria detailed above.  No proposal from any CPSE has been recently received in Department of Public Enterprises for grant of ‘Maharatna’ status to it.

This information was given by Shri Arun Yadav, Minister of State for Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises in a written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today.
