The government of India has accorded ‘Maharatna’ status to public sector undertakings (PSU’s) Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) and Power Grid Corporation.
Impact:
This will impart greater operational and financial autonomy thus enhancing powers to their Boards to take financial decisions.
Boards of these PSUs can make equity investments to undertake financial joint ventures (JV) and wholly owned subsidiaries and undertake mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in India as well as abroad. This is however subjected to a ceiling of 15% of the net worth of concerned CPSE, limited to Rs 5,000 crore in one project.
The Boards can also structure and implement schemes relating to personnel as well as human resource management and training.
