NEW DELHI, JULY 09, 2019: THE Union Minister for Heavy Industries & Public Enterprises, Mr Arvind Ganpat Sawant, today in Parliament stated that the Government has implemented Maharatna, Navratna and Miniratna scheme for Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) under which the Boards of these CPSEs have been delegated powers, to enter technology joint ventures or strategic alliances and to obtain by purchase or other arrangement technology and know-how as per Government guidelines. 

Further, R&D, Innovation, Technology up-gradation has been included as a non-financial parameter under the system of Memorandum of Understanding for CPSEs (except for CPSEs in the financial sector) with a weight of up to 10% in order to provide focus on efforts of management of CPSEs in this regard.

All CPSEs function under the administrative jurisdiction of Ministry/Departments concerned.
