From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Navratna was the title given originally to 9 Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs) identified by the Government of India in 1997 as "public sector companies that have comparative advantages", giving them greater autonomy to compete in the global market so as to "support [them] in their drive to become global giants".[1] PSU companies are divided into three categories: Maharatna Navratna Miniratna CPSEs Category I Category II

Historical symbolism
Originally, the term Navaratna meant a talisman or ornament composed of nine precious gems. Later, this symbology was adopted in the courts of Emperor Vikramaditya and the Mughal emperor Akbar, where the Navaratnas were a group of nine extraordinary men in their respective courts.

Maharatna status
In 2009, the government established the Maharatna status, which raises a company's investment ceiling from Rs. 1,000 crore to Rs. 5,000 crore.[2] The Maharatna firms can now decide on investments of up to 15 per cent of their net worth in a project; the Navaratna companies could invest up to Rs 1,000 crore without explicit government approval.

There are multiple factors and criteria for granting 'ratna' status. However, major criteria of awarding status are: Maharatna Three years with an annual net profit of over Rs. 5000 crore Average annual Net worth of Rs. 15,000 crore for 3 years Average annual Turnover of Rs. 25,000 crore for 3 years Navratna A score of 60 (out of 100), based on six parameters which include net profit, net worth, total manpower cost, total cost of production, cost of services, PBDIT (Profit Before Depreciation, Interest and Taxes), capital employed, etc. A company must first be a Miniratna and have 4 independent directors on its board before it can be made a Navratna. Miniratna Category-I 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 Have made profits for the last three years continuously and should have a positive net worth. The Categorisation entitles the company boards to do investments up to a limit (depending on the status) without seeking government permission. Maharatna: up to Rs.1,000 crore - Rs. 5,000 crore, or free to decide on investments up to 15% of their net worth in a project. Navratna: up to Rs. 1,000 crore or 15% of their net worth on a single project or 30% of their net worth in the whole year (not exceeding Rs. 1,000 crores). Miniratna-I: up to Rs. 500 crore or equal to their net worth, whichever is lower. Miniratna-II: up to Rs. 300 crore or up to 50% of their net worth, whichever is lower.
