Navratna of India

Navratna was the title given originally to nine 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". The number of PSEs having Navratna status has been raised to 16, the most recent addition being Oil India Limited.

PSU companies are divided into three categories:
Maharatna
Navratna
Miniratna CPSEs
Category I
Category II

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.[3] 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.

Criteria:-
The six criteria for eligibility as Maharatna are:
·        Having Navratna status.
·        Listed on Indian stock exchange with minimum prescribed public shareholding under SEBI regulations.
·        An average annual turnover of more than Rs. 20,000.[4] crore during the last 3 years. Earlier it was Rs 25,000 Crore.
·        An average annual net worth of more than Rs. 10,000[4] crore during the last 3 years. Earlier it was Rs. 15,000 crore.
·        An average annual net profit after tax of more than Rs. 2500 crore during the last 3 years. Earlier it was Rs. 5000 crore.
·        Should have significant global presence/international operations.
(The earlier criteria stands as on date, as the order modifying the criteria was later withdrawn. But, needs confirmation)
