Miniratna CPSEs
Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs) play a crucial role in India’s economic development. To enhance their efficiency and grant them greater autonomy, the Government of India has classified PSEs into different categories: Maharatna, Navratna, and Miniratna. The Government had introduced the ‘Miniratna’ scheme in 1997. The ‘Miniratna’ are divided into Category I and Category II. As of recent updates, there are 49 Miniratna-I and 10 Miniratna-II PSEs.
