Identifying the Non-Navratna Company

The question asks to identify the company from the given options that is NOT classified as a 'Navratna' company. Navratna status is a specific designation given by the Government of India to select state-owned enterprises, granting them enhanced financial and operational autonomy. Maharatna is an even higher status.

CPSE Status Analysis

Let's examine the status of each company listed:

  • Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL): This company is recognized as a 'Navratna' company.
  • Oil & Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC): This company holds the highest status of 'Maharatna'. While Maharatnas are often considered part of the elite group of CPSEs, the specific classification requested is 'Navratna'. Since ONGC is a Maharatna, it is not solely classified as a Navratna.
  • Rural Electrification Corporation Limited (REC): This company is also a 'Navratna' company.
  • Oil India Limited (OIL): This company is classified as a 'Navratna' company.

Conclusion on Navratna Status

Based on the classification hierarchy where Maharatna is distinct from and superior to Navratna status, Oil & Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) is the company that is not classified solely as a Navratna. It holds the higher Maharatna status.
