Question

As of July 2025, the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited holds which of the following CPSE status?

The correct answer is

Miniratna-I

Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) are given graded status, Maharatna, Navratna and Miniratna, according to their financial strength, net worth and the operational and investment autonomy they are allowed.

Miniratna is split into two tiers: Category-I for enterprises that have made profits in the last three years continuously and posted a pre-tax profit of at least Rs 30 crore in one of those years, and the lower Category-II.

As of July 2025, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) holds Miniratna Category-I status.

This status lets the board take certain capital-expenditure and investment decisions on its own, up to prescribed limits, without seeking prior government approval each time.

BSNL has not been elevated to Navratna or Maharatna, which demand much higher and sustained turnover, net worth and profit levels along with a strong record of financial autonomy.

Miniratna-II carries lower thresholds and less delegated power, so it does not describe BSNL's present category either.

Hence the correct answer is Miniratna-I.
