ABSTRACT
Developing countries were struggling with the problems of income and regional
inequality, while at the same time low level of employment and lack of skilled man power
worsen the situation. In order to do with such problems and to tackle the situation,
governments followed a plan-led development strategy wherein Public Sector
Undertakings (PSU’s) were accorded with majority of roles. The Central Public Sector
Enterprises (CPSEs) have performed tremendously well in the initial years of its
inception but has been unable to keep up its performance on the desired level. There
are several reasons behind degrading performance of PSEs. The increased competition
and non-compliance with the changing environment can be attributed as the major
reasons for the downfall of PSEs; change in central government also laid problems in
functioning and performance of public sector enterprises because of varied policy
initiatives towards CPSEs. In this regard, present study finds its motivation to conduct
an descriptive research to compare and analyze the performance of CPSEs in India

during tenure of UPA government (from 2004-2009) and that of NDA government (from
2014-2019). The objective is to analyze the role of government towards promotion of
CPSEs in India and performance of CPSEs during tenures of UPA and NDA
governance.

1. INTRODUCTION
Alongside industrial growth and development of Indian economy, Central Public Sector
Enterprises (CPSEs) have been playing a prominent role in dismantling accumulated problems
of unemployment, disparities of inter-regional, rural-urban, inter-class and technological
backwardness. Public sector undertakings play a major role in economic development of
developing economies and acts as a vital instrument of state intervention in economic activities
in the developing economies. Developing countries were struggling with the problems of
income and regional inequality at the same time low level of employment and lack of skilled
man power worsen the situation. Private investment was not encouraged because of low level
of savings and lack of proper infrastructure for economic growth. So, given the set-up of
economic system of developing countries, the states decided to come forward with a clear long-
term development strategy to promote regional growth and thereby contributing to economic
development. In order to achieve this, government followed a plan-led development strategy
wherein public sector was accorded with themajority of roles. Though the United Public
Alliance (here after referred as UPA) government was clearly committed to expand the public
sector, it did not go into areas where private enterprises were operating mainly due to
operational constraints and other practical considerations. Although a greater role has been
assigned to public sector in developing the Indian economy and making it self-sufficient, but it
has not performed up to the expectation. Then after a change in the central government from
United Public Alliance (UPA) to National Democratic Alliance (here after referred as NDA)
the more focus was towards disinvestment. The UPA government suffered because of its
policies while growth under NDA adversely affected by demonetization and GST. The Indian
Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs) have performed tremendously well in the initial years of its
inception but has been unable to keep up its performance on the desired level. There are several
reasons behind degrading performance of PSEs. The increased competition and non-
compliance with the changing environment can be attributed as the major reasons for the
downfall of PSEs. Further, change in central government also laid problems in functioning and
performance of public sector enterprises because of different policies and initiatives towards
CPSEs, but at the same time it also gives a new way to strategies and policies towards them.
In this regard, it is pertinent to know which government is more focused towards growth
and development of CPSEs. Further, this also becomes relevant because every now and then,
the question keep arising that whether UPA government is more focused towards development,
growth and promotion of CPSEs or whether NDA government is more concerned about
performance of CPSEs. The present study is an attempt to assess the role of UPA and NDA
government towards growth and promotion of CPSEs in India to examine the performance of
CPSEs during different tenures of UPA and NDA government. The study examine the

performance of CPSEs during first full tenure of UPA government, i.e., 2004-2009 (here after
referred to as UPA 1) and first full tenure of NDA government, i.e., 2014-2019 (here after
referred to as NDA 1). The basic reason behind choosing full tenure of both the governments
is that having full five year stint at the center gives the party ample time and scope for strategic
thinking, planning and implementation of decision made regarding CPSEs by respective
ministries of government. Further, the reason behind taking full stints of both UPA and NDA
after year 2000 is that the Economic Reforms were launched in 1991 and till 2000 there were
various policy initiatives and strategic reforms for CPSEs by the respective governments of that
time, hence, it is wise enough to take the tenure after 2000. And finally the basic premise behind
choosing first tenures of both UPA and NDA government (UPA has served back to back term
from 2004 to 2014; while NDA government has also started its second consecutive term in
2019) is that both UPA and NDA have taken the governance from their counterpart in their first
tenure and hence they cannot enjoy the benefit of their own earlier services like they can be
benefitted if we had taken second tenure of UPA. Further, the second consecutive term of NDA
has just begun in 2019 and hence comparison could not be made. The first tenures of UPA and
NDA have been classified as UPA 1 and NDA 1 in the study.
The study is structured in following way; next section deliberates about theoretical
background of CPSEs and their evolution followed by section on research methodology
adopted in the study. Research methodology section is followed by data analysis and discussion
section, which is followed by section highlighting major conclusion and recommendation from
the study. Finally, there is a section that deals with limitations and future scope of the study.
2. THEORETICAL BACKGROUND
2.1. Overview of Indian public sector
Central and State Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) play a prominent role in India’s industrial
growth and economic development. Since independence, a number of socio-economic
problems required to be dealt with in a planned and systematic manner. A predominantly
agrarian economy,lack of industrial facilities&weak industrial base, low savings and inadequate
investments necessitated for state intervention so as to use public sector as an instrument for
steering the country’s underlying potential towards self-reliant economic growth.
Themacroeconomic objectives of Central PSUs have been derived from the various Industrial
Policy Resolutions and the Five Year Plans of India. State-level PSEs (state PSUs) were
established due to rising need for public utilities in states. These PSUs are operating in public
utilities like railways,airports, ports, post and telegraphand power and contributed significantly
towards infrastructure development. Since its inception during First Five Year Plan, a number
of public sector undertakings performed exceptionally well and has contributed in wealth
creation for the country.
Many Central PSUs, specially the Maharatnas, are already operating internationally and are
major global players matching the best global firms in their field of operations. One of the basic
reasons for this excellent performance of Central PSUs in recent years was the empowerment
of the boards of theseprofit making PSUs by the Government that leads to a greater autonomy
in decision making. As a result, such PSUs have effectively used this autonomy to enhance their
performance and operate on commercial lines.
2.2. Evolution of public sector enterprises in India
Public sector enterprises in India have rose from only five enterprises post-independence and
with an investment of 0.3 billion in the year 1951 to 249 enterprises as on Mar 31, 2010.
Aggregate investment in Central PSUs has been increasing continuously over the years. Total

http://www.iaeme.com/IJM/index.asp 1554 [email protected]
investment, including equity plus long-term loans of Central PSUs went up from 5,135.32
billion in FY09 to 5,799.20 billion in FY10, growing at a rate 12.93%.
The evolution of PSUs can be divided into three distinguished phases: 1) The pre-
independence era; 2) The post-independence era; and 3) The post-liberalization period. The
fourth period could perhaps be stated as the one that follows the recent global economic crisis
during 2007-08. Pre-independence era witnessed few public enterprises, such as the
railways,the port trust, the posts and telegraph, All India Radio and the ordinance factories
among few other governments managed enterprises. The Industrial Policy Resolution (1956)
was implemented for the first time during the post-independence era. Moreover, various
strategies specific to the public sector were defined in policy statements of1973, 1977, 1980
and 1991. Post liberalization era which had its commencement from 1991 after the introduction
of New Economic Policy, saw the Government of India introducing the concept of Maharatna,
Navratna and Miniratna to accord greater financial and managerial autonomy to those PSEs
with the objective of incurring higher capital expenditure apart from forming Joint Ventures
(JVs) within the country as well as outside.
The fourth phase i.e. the period following the recent global economic downturn was one
where Government infusing capital into the economy. In order to boost sectors like agriculture,
real estate and small enterprises, Government of India, with the help of public sector banks,
provided capital at lower rates of interest. These initiatives by the Government helped to contain
serious after effects of the economic meltdown while keeping a tab on inflation.
So we will discuss the state of PSEs in two phases i.e. pre liberalization and post
liberalization.
Pre-Liberalization Phase: Pre-liberalization phase began after independence in 1947 and
continued till the introduction of New Economic Policy of 1991 by Dr. Manmohan Singh. This
period is also known as the Nehru Modal of Economic Development or Nehru-Mahalnobis
Modal. In Nehru Modal of Economic Development, both public and private sector were
assumed to contribute for the economic growth but larger role was given to public sector as it
is needed that government should work for the development of the nation. Private sector was
also allowed to contribute and operate in smaller sectors and major industries like iron & steel,
coal mines etc. and services like railways, telegraph, atomic energy, telecommunication,
aviation etc. were reserved for public sector. The overall responsibility of developing the
infrastructure is on the shoulders of public sector and private sector assumed responsibility of
supplementing the public sector overall this phase sees the evolution of Indian Public Sector to
an extent beyond imagination but soon it gets affected by increasing competition and changing
environment. Public sector does not keep pace with the changing environment and gets outdated
on various fronts of technology, input consumption and style of management and functioning.
The performance decreased to ever low levelsduring 1985-1991. This necessitates an
immediate change in the economic structure of the country to revive the public sector. This
emergence needs lead to the introduction of New Economic Policy in 1991.
Post-Liberalization Phase: Post liberalization period is also known as the period of
planned development. Various initiatives were undertaken by the then government to boost
Indian economy which was going through the phase of huge economic crisis with depleting
foreign exchange reserve and devaluing rupee against dollars. The phase of planned
development was started with the adoption of policy of liberalization and privatization where
by private sectors were also allowed to enter into the sectors previously reserved for public
sector. Indian economy was opened up and foreign trade was promoted. Policy of disinvestment
was adopted so as to revive the public sector.

2.3. Role of public enterprises in India
The role of Public Sector in India’s macro-economic performance in general and in that of
industrial sector in particular is widely acknowledged (Nagraj, 1991). Public sector enterprises
in India cover a wide range of activities engaging directly or in directly. They are operating
almost all types of activities like advancing loans,promotional and developmental activities,
regulating trade, manufacturing heavy machinery, machine tools, instruments, electrical
equipment, chemicals, drugs and fertilizers, prospecting and drilling for oil and its refining;
operation of air, sea and road transport, building and construction, electricity generation and
distribution, mining of coal and mineral ores, smelting and casting of steel and other metals,
telecommunication, and so on.
Public enterprises operate primarily at three levels of the Indian administration: Central and
State. National Accounts Statistics provides break-up of public sector into:
a. Administrative Departments (offices and other bodies of the government)
b. Departmental Enterprises (railways, post and telecommunication)
c. Non-Departmental Enterprises (financial and non-financial enterprises, with 51% of
government equity)
2.4. Problems faced by public sector enterprises in India
Public Sector Enterprises are criticized on the ground that the efficiency is low and the net profit
does not represent the capital employed in it. PSEs faces a number of challenges in the external
environment and the changing in technology adopted pose a serious threat in front of PSEs.
Various problems faced by PSEs are:
• Under Utilization of Resources: This is the major reason for low level of productivity
and profitability. The capacity utilization in PSEs is not satisfactory resulting in wastage
of time and labour.
• Pricing Policy: Pricing policy adopted by PSEs was not appropriate. Changes to the
prices of goods and services produced by most public enterprises have lagged
developments in underlying inflation, exacerbating their poor financial performance.
• Over-Capitalization: PSEs were over-capitalized and resulting in low level of capital
productivity. Ideal resources add to the inefficiency in operations.
• Management Structure: Style of management followed in PSEs was outdated and
does not result in quicker decision making that was the need of the hour. The flow of
information from top management to lower management was not proper and lot of
communication delays took place resulting in work stoppage and inefficiency.
• Outdated Technology: Technology adopted by PSEs was obsolete and requiring
immediate installation of better and improved machines and equipments. The
technology was not updated as per the advancement of technology resulting in poor
quality products and services and increased wastages during production.
• Lack of Competitive Attitude: PSEs lacks competitive attitude and does not come up
with the increased competition from private sectors. This increased competition resulted
in lack of demand for PSEs. The lenient attitude of PSEs was a major issue to be dealt
for government.
These are only some of the issues facing Indian Public Sector which necessitated revival
action from government and to implement immediate policies so as to make public sector more
efficient and effective and make them able to fulfill their goal of social service and economic
development. This leads to the announcement of New Industrial Policy Resolution in 1991
under the New Economic Policy of India.

2.5. Initiatives undertaken by government of India under industrial policy
resolution (IPR) of 1991
• Government of India adopted some policy measures under the name of Structural
Adjustment Program (SAP) to restructure the inefficient and non-performing public
sector of India in the 1980s.
• Government revised the existing industrial policy with the implementation of SAP, and
announced new IPR in 1991, in which various policies for restructuring of PSEs,
including the relaxing or abolition of restriction on entry to key sectors were enunciated.
• The number of industries that are reserved for public sector was reduced from 18
(including iron and steel, heavy plant and machinery, telecommunications and telecom
equipment, minerals, oil, mining, air transport services and electricity generation and
distribution) to 8 in 1991 and further to 3 (defence aircrafts and warships, atomic energy
generation, and railway transport) in 2001.
• In 1987-88 BIFR was established for the restructuring of the inefficient CPSEs under
the provision of Sick Industrial Act, 1985. In 1991-92 74 CPSEs were referred to BIFR
for their review and restructuring out of which 57 were operating till 2005-06 and 16
were closed units.Further, the government encouraged the PSUs to participate in capital
market to raise funds for investment (Singh andChittedi, 2011).
• Common Minimum Program was introduced by government in 1996. The objective was
to develop professional management along with decision making autonomyso as to
make these enterprises operate more efficiently in competitive environment.
• Government entrusted certain profit making enterprises with the special status and
recognized them under the name of Navaratnas. The government declared 9 enterprises
as Navaratnas on July 4, 1997 and two more enterprises were added to this list in the
subsequent period. The criteria for giving this special statusto these enterprises were on
the basis of their size in relation to investment, turnover and profit in recent period.
Subsequently, government substantially enhanced the autonomy of Board of Directors
in decision making, so as to make these enterprises eligible to incur capital expenditure,
enter into joint-venture, creating and winding up post below board level.
• Government also identified certain profit making enterprises and given special
statusofMiniratnas. Basis objective behind this was to increase their autonomy in
decision making. The status was given in two categories i.e. Miniratna 1 and Miniratna
2. Where Miniratna 1is allowed incurring capital expenditure uptoINR 300 crore or
equal to their net-worth capital, whichever is lower without the approval of the
government whereas, Miniratna 2 can incur capital expenditure up toINR 150 crore or
50% of their net-worth capital, whichever is lower.

3. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
The objective of the study is to analyze the role of government towards promotion of CPSEs in
India and performance of CPSEs during tenures of UPA 1and NDA 1.Major issues addressed
in the study are financial performance of PSEs and their contribution to the economic
development and employment generation.
4. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research methodology adopted for the study is descriptive research and conceptual in nature.
Data has been collected via secondary sources and only authentic government websites like
Economic Survey, Ministry of Disinvestment, Department of Public Enterprises, several
volumes of Economic Survey Reports, Public Enterprise Reports, and journals have been used
to ensure authenticity and reliability of data. Financial indicators collected from secondary
sources are analyzed and compared for tenures of UPA 1 and NDA 1.
5. DATA ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
5.1. Growth of CPSEs in India
The growth and performance of Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) go hand in hand
with the growth of the Indian economy. In fact, the PSUs have the potential for an even
dominant role to play in economic development on the back of number of yet-to-be listed
profitable Central PSUs that can go to the market. According to the data from the BSE as on
Dec 15, 2010 there are 98 unlisted Central PSUs that have made profit for the last three years,
clearly indicating their importance in the growth of the Indian economy. Further, according to
the public survey enterprises report of 2018 – 19, during first five year plan there were only
five public sector enterprises with a total investment of INR 29 crore while as on 31st March,
2019 the number increased to 348 with a total investment of INR16,40,328 crore. Many CPEs
have been set up under different projects during the past decade.The growth indicator of
CPSEsduring UPA 1 and NDA 1 is given below.

5.1.1. Number of CPSEs and corresponding investment in CPSEs
During the first phase of UPA government, the number of operating public enterprise reduces
from 227 to 213 while during first phase NDA governance, the number rises to 262. At the
same time, NDA government invest more in CPSEs as compared to UPA; companies like
National Textile corporation, British India Corporation Ltd., Andrew Yule & Company Ltd.,
Coal India Ltd. and its subsidiaries have been taken to nationalization from privatization. Figure
1a and 1b below highlight the number of CPSEs and year on year growth for both the phases
of UPA and NDA governance. Further, figure 2a and 2b shows the investment in CPSEs and
its year to year growth for the same period.

Looking at figure 1a and 1b above, it can be concluded that NDA government is more
progressive in setting up CPSEs. Number of CPSEs during UPA 1 tenure kept on decreasing
and year to year growth was also negative, while during NDA governance it’s on increasing
trend. Further if investments are taken into consideration, NDA has fared well in this aspect as
well. Figure 2a and 2b shows that year to year growth rate for investment in CPSEs is increasing
at a faster rate during NDA 1 phase as compared to UPA 1.

5.2. Macro-view performance of CPSEs
5.2.1. Net profit and growth rate of CPSEs
Overall the performance of CPSEs has been improved over the years but individually it is not
satisfactory. We will analyze the performance of CPSEs in two phases i.e. first tenure of UPA
government from (2004-2009) and first phase of NDA government (2014-2019).
During 2008-09, the profit of profit making CPEs is INR 98,652 crore as compared to INR
91,571 crore during 2007-08, showing a growth of 7.73%.If we compare the performance of
CPSEs between first phase of UPA government and first phase of NDA government, it can be
concluded that the performance was better during the period 2014-2019 as the overall growth
rate of profit is 38.99 percent as compare to overall growth in profit during the tenure of UPA
government which was 32.54 percent (refer to Figure 3a and 3b). In the first phase of UPA
government net profit increased significantly during third year but after there was a decrease in
growth rate during fourth and fifth year. During the tenure of NDA government profit increased
significantly although there is a negative growth rate during fourth year but in the fifth year
profit rises significantly. Schedule-III of companies Act, 2013 become applicable for
preparation of financial statements for the financial year beginning on or from 1 April
2014.Schedule III provides general instructions for preparation of financial statements of a
company.

5.2.2. Employment
Employment in CPEs is spread across managerial/executive roles, supervisory and non-
executive roles as well as it includes casual employees, contractual employees and daily
worker.CPSEs provide lifetime employment to their employees and they have a skilled work
force, which is one of their basic strength. As public sector enterprises works in dynamic
environment some of them suffered with shortage of manpower while other may have a excess
manpower with them. A comparison of number of employees and growth rate during the first
five years of UPA and NDA government is discussed here. Referring figure 4a and 4b, it can
be assessed that under UPA governance, number of employees in CPSEs kept on decreasing
for the complete 5 year period, while more or less it is on increasing trend during NDA regime.
This again strengthens the fact that NDA government is more progressive towards development
and promotion of CPSEs as compared to their counterpart.

5.2.3. Contribution to government exchequer
Public sector enterprises contribute to the central exchequer by dividend payment as an owner,
interest on government loans as lender and taxes paid by these enterprises to the central
government as a taxpayer. In this study comparison will be made based on above three
components of central exchequer. During the phase of UPA government there is a significant
decline in total contribution of Public enterprises to the central exchequer which came down to
INR 151728 crore in 2008-09 from INR 165994 crore in 2007-08. This was primarily due to
reduction of contribution towards customs, excise duty, corporate tax and dividend tax.
During the phase of NDA 1, the total contribution of public enterprises to the central
exchequer shows an increasing trend compared to previous years. The total contribution during
the year 2018-19 has increased to INR 368,603 crore as compared to INR 352,361 crores in
2017-18. A comparative study of contribution of Public sector enterprises for all the three
variants is discusses below.
5.2.3.1. Contribution of dividend towards government exchequer
Figure 5a and 5b shows that contribution of dividend to government exchequer during UPA 1
regime increased significantly in 2005-06 from 2004-05, recording a walloping growth rate of
27.58 per cent. Since then the growth rate was very minimal and ranged between ± 2 per cent.
Considering the performance under NDA 1 regime, dividend contribution increased
significantly after first year of governance, i.e., in 2015-16 from 2014-15 (14.58 per cent), but
dipped sharply for next two years and registering a minimal growth rate of 3.36 per cent in year
2016-17and a negative growth rate of -6.38 per cent for 2017-18. Growth rate again restored to
positive in 2018-19 registering a positive growth rate of 2.94 per cent as compared to -6.38 per
cent for previous year. Overall it may be asserted that contribution of CPSEs to government
exchequer by way of dividend income is similar in both UPA and NDA regime.

5.2.3.2. Contribution of interest expense towards government exchequer
Figure 6a and 6b shows that contribution of interest expense to government exchequer during
UPA 1 regime dipped significantly from INR 731.67 crore in 2004-05 to INR 138.22 crore in
2005-06 registering a negative growth rate of 81.11 per cent. In the very next year, the
contribution increased by a walloping 1328.93 per cent jumping to INR 1975.08 crore in 2006-
07. The contribution dipped for next two years in row and registering negative growth rate of
62.08 per cent and 25.39 per cent respectively. If we look upon the performance of CPSEs in
context of interest contribution towards government exchequer under NDA governance, we
may conclude that the performance is much more satisfactory under NDA regime, as growth
rate in contribution increased to an astounding INR 7,843 crore in 2015-16 from mere INR 700
crore in 2014-15, registering and unimaginable growth rate of 1020.43 per cent. Next year, i.e.,
2016-17, growth rate dipped to -93.92 per cent as contribution came down significantly to only
INR 477 crore. Growth rate recorded a negative trend in following year as well, but restored
itself to positive one by registering and excellent growth rate of 203.07 per cent. In this case, it
can be stated that performance of CPSEs in terms of contribution to government exchequer by
way of interest is much better in NDA regime as compared to UPA regime.

5.2.3.3. Contribution of taxes and duties towards government exchequer
Looking at figure 7a and 7b, it can be said that the performance of CPSEs in terms of
contribution to government exchequer by way of taxes and duties during UPA 1 regime has
fared well except in last year of governance, i.e., 2008-09. The growth rate in contribution
remained healthy initially, registering a growth rate of 11.81 per cent, 20.77 per cent and 14.06
per cent in year 2005-06, 2006-07 and 2007-08 respectively. In the last year, the contribution
has dipped slightly and recorded a negative growth rate of 9.63 per cent. Taking about the
performance of taxes and duties towards contribution to government exchequer under NDA
government, contribution has increased to INR 2,26,866 crore in 2015-16 from INR 1,62,027
crore in 2014-15 registering a growth rate of around 40 per cent. In the next year as well, the
growth rate maintained its level and registered a growth rate of around 39 per cent in

contribution of taxes and duties. In 2017-18, the contribution dipped marginally registering a
negative growth rate of mere 1.74 per cent, before restoring to increasing trend in 2019-19 when
the growth rate was registered at 4.65 per cent. In this case as well, it can be stated that
performance of CPSEs in terms of contribution to government exchequer via taxes and duties
is much better in NDA regime as compared to UPA.

5.2.4 Export earning
Export is one of the major sources of foreign exchange. The export earnings of the CPSEs rise
significantly during the phase of UPA government (refer to Figure 8a). There was a remarkable
growth of 42.79 percent in the year 2006-07 and it continue to increase with a steadily
rate.During the phase of NDA government, the export earnings fared very inconsistently (refer

to Figure 8b). It recorded a negative growth rate of 30.17 per cent in year 2015-16, but returned
to positive trend and registered a positive growth rate of 37.70 per cent but only to fall again
when it recorded a very low negative growth rate of 0.28 per cent in 2017-28. It again restored
itself to positive trend and recorded a growth rate of 33.54 per cent. This mixed response may
be because the export of goods decreased while the overall foreign exchange earnings increased.
This rise is due to increase in interest and dividend and other income.

5.2.5. Number of profit- and loss-making enterprises
Oil and Natural gas Corporation Limited, Indian oil Corporation Ltd., and NTPC were ranked
among the top 10 profit making enterprises in India. Every year Central government declares
top ten profit and loss making enterprise in Public Enterprises Survey Report. Figure 9a and 9
b clearly shows that NDA government has beaten UPA government hands down in terms of
profit making CPSEs. The number of profit making CPSEs in UPA tenure were 143, 160, 154,
161 and 158 respectively for a period of five years, i.e., from 2004-05 to 2008-09. The
corresponding figures for NDA tenure are much better and number of profit making CPSEs are
159, 164, 175, 183 and 178 respectively for 5 year tenure of NDA government between 2014-
15 to 2018-19. The year on year growth rate in terms number of profit making CPSEs is
somewhat similar for both the tenures, i.e., UPA 1 and NDA 1.
Further if we talk about number of loss making CPSEs, UPA government has fared much
better in bringing the numbers down throughout its first tenure except for year 2008-09 when
number of loss making CPSEs increased to 54 in 2008-09 (in 2007-08, number of loss making
CPSEs was 52) (refer to Figure 9a). Under NDA rule, the number of loss making CPSEs
increased in first two years (from 76 to 79 in 2015-16 and further to 81 in 2016-17) but the
numbers have decreased for the last two years (72 in 2017-18 and 70 in 2018-19) of NDA
tenure (refer to Figure 9b). It can hence be concluded that both the governments have
consistently tried and launched initiatives to improve the financial performance of CPSEs, the
performance of NDA 1 government is slightly better in terms of making CPSEs profitable
ventures as compared to UPA 1.

5.2.6. Profitability ratios of CPSEs
In order to measure the performance of CPSEs, various profitability parameters have been
studied. The profitability ratios give an indication of how well CPSEs have fared in terms of
financial profitability during UPA and NDA regime.
5.2.6.1. Dividend payout ratio
A comparison of profitability related ratios shows a general improvement in profitability of
Central Public Sector Enterprises over the year. During 2004-09, Dividend payout ratio of the
enterprises shows a stable graph while it decreased in the last year of UPA tenure, i.e., 2008-
09. It dipped to 30.27 per cent as compared36.06 per cent in 2007-08 (refer to Figure 10). In
case of NDA 1, dividend payout ratio increasedfor first three years and rose to 62.26 per cent
in 2016-17 from 54.95 per cent in 2014-15. In fourth year, it dipped slightly to 61.42 per cent
before falling significantly and reaching a low of 50.31 per cent in 2018-19 (refer Figure 10).
The performance of both UPA and NDA seemed to be similar in terms, but if we compare the
figures year on year basis, the ratio is much better for NDA government.

Figure 11 shows that turnover to capital employed ratio follows an increasing trend during the
tenure of UPA 1 (except for second year when it has decreased), while during NDA 1 tenure,
for the first two years, it has shown a decreasing trend but has restored to increasing trend
thereafter. If we compare the figures on year to year basis, the ratio is much better for UPA 1
as compared to NDA 1. In UPA 1 the ratio ranged between 143 to 159 per cent registering an
average turnover to capital employed ratio of 149.33 per cent. If we compare the figures for
NDA 1 regime, the ratio ranged between 82 to 108 per cent registering an average turnover to
capital employed ratio of 90.38 per cent, which is way below UPA 1 figures (refer to Figure
11)

5.2.6.3. Net profit to capital employed ratio
Net profit to Capital employed ratio is much higher in UPA1 as compared to the NDA 1. The
ratio has shown a decreasing trend in UPA 1 tenure and has dipped from 12.88 per cent in 2004-
05 to 10.61 per cent in 2008-09; it has remained more or less constant during NDA 1 tenure
registering a slight decline from 5.61 per cent in 2014-15 to 5.56 per cent in 2018-19 (refer to
Figure 12). Though if we compare the figures on year to year basis, we can conclude that the
ratio were much better during UPA 1 regime then NDA 1 (refer to Figure 12).

Net profit to total income ratio has more or less shown same trend for both UPA 1 and NDA 1

1 as compared to NDA 1. On an average the net profit to total income ration for UPA 1 tenure
fared around 8 per cent per annum, while its is slightly low at 6 per cent per annum during NDA
1 tenure (refer to Figure 13).

Figure 14 shows that, during UPA 1 tenure, net profit to net worth ration has constantly dropped
year on year basis, while during NDA 1 tenure, it has show an increasing trend year on year
basis. The net profit to net worth ratio has decreased from 19.02 per cent in 2004-05 to 14.38
per cent in 2008-2009; while it has increased from 10.69 per cent in 2014-15 to 12.11 per cent
in 2018-19 during 5 year tenure of NDA 1. If we compare the figures on year to year basis, it
may be concluded that ratio were slightly better during UPA 1 regime.

5.2.6.6. Tax provision to PBEET ratio
CPSEs have shown similar performance in terms of tax provision to PBEET ratio during both
UPA 1 and NDA 1 tenure. Except for the first year for their respective tenure, tax provision to
PBEET ratio is more or less identical and follow identical growth trend as well (refer to Figure
15). It is hence concluded that there is no difference in tax provision to PBEET ratio between
different tenures of UPA 1 and NDA 1.

6. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
It can be concluded that the performance of PSEs has improved during the NDA 1 phase as all
the financial indicators show favorable trends except some of the profitability ratios. According
to the Department of Public Enterprise (DPE) data, there are 348 CPEs as on 31 March 2019,
as compared to 290 CPEs on 31 March,2014.In the five years period, the NDA government has
set up 58 more central government owned companies. The increase in number of CPEs
increases the role of government in business. Although, government is consistent on the policy
of disinvestment either by selling the companies to private sector entities or by bringing down
the government stake to less than 50 percent, the number of profit making CPSEs has increased
from 158 in 2009 to 178 in 2019 and the number of loss making CPSEs increased from 51 in
2009 to just 70 in 2019.
The net profit after tax and overall net profit also increasedduring NDA 1 phase with a better
growth rate as compare to growth rate of UPA 1.During the tenure of NDA government the
total number of employment in the public enterprises rises considerably in the year 2016-17
with a growth rate of 21.99 percent.
The policy of disinvestment to revive the PSEs has shown tremendous results as
government has realized Rs. 1,36,018 Crore from 2014 to 2019. This has resulted in improved
performance of PSEs and reducing the budgetary deficit. Although the realization was much
lower than targeted which shows a lot more concentrated efforts are needed from the part of
government, as government is not trying to find out the issues for this low realizations. PSEs
have also contributed significantly to central exchequer and it is continuously increasing. The
share of public sector GDP to total GDP is decreasing after 1997 which is a major concern as
it indicates that private sector is contributing more to the GDP. So, this issue has to be addressed
because public sector has been given prominent role for economic development and its
decreasing share in GDP is not justified.
As this study compares the first phase of UPA and NDA government, and the results are
more favorable towards NDA phase, yet the profitability ratios are not satisfactory. During
2018-19 turnover to capital employed ratio reduces to 92.6 as compare to 159.1 on 2008-09.Net
profit to capital employed ratio also reduced significantly. However, net profit to total income
ratio gives a stable position.Net Profit to net worth ratio also increases during 2014-2019 which
is a sign of relief. But government needs to take up the policies which help in improving
profitability ratios. Overall it is concluded that the policies of NDA 1have better impact on
overall performance and growth of public sector enterprises as compared to policy initiatives
of UPA government.
7. LIMITATIONS OF RESEARCH
The major limitation of this research can be attributed to the fact that it has considered a time
period of 5 years for both UPA 1 and UPA 2; future research is welcomed to analyze the
performance of PSU’s incorporating second tenures of UPA and NDA government as well.
Further, study adopted descriptive method for performance analysis; more advanced statistical
techniques may be applied to gauge deeper insights into the performance and evolution of
PSU’s in India.
