Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) or government companies in India are companies that are owned by the government and were founded by the federal or state governments of India. The public sector enterprises are established either through nationalisation or an executive order in the case of the union government and state government, or by an act of parliament in the case of the union government and an act of the state legislature in the case of state government, with the aim of generating revenue for the government, controlling monopolies of the private sector entities, providing goods and services to the citizens at an affordable price, and for the achievement of overall financial goals & development.
PSUs are also referred to as statutory corporations, government companies in India, government-owned firms, or nationalised businesses. The Indian government and/or one of the many other organisations own these organisations in whole or in part. While State Public Sector Undertakings (SPSUs) are owned entirely or in part by state or territorial governments, Central Public Sector Undertakings (CPSUs) are owned entirely or in part by the Government of India.
