A set of Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) that now the Indian government is giving increased financial independence is known as Navratna firms. They are permitted to invest up to Rs. 1,000 crores without needing the express consent of the government. They also might contribute 15% of the total wealth in a single project or 30% over an entire year, as long as they stay under the $1,000 crore cap. These businesses have competitive benefits while competing in the international market because of the higher autonomy.
