Which ‘Ratna’ status has been granted to Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) by the Government of India under the classification of Central Public Sector Enterprises ?
Navratna
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited has been granted Navratna status by the Government of India under the Department of Public Enterprises classification of Central Public Sector Enterprises.
The Navratna tier sits between Miniratna and Maharatna. It gives the board wider financial autonomy, including the power to invest substantial sums in a project and to form joint ventures without prior government approval, which lets a telecom operator move faster on network expansion.
The other tiers do not fit. Miniratna Category I and Category II grant much smaller delegated powers and apply to profit-making enterprises of a lower scale, while Maharatna is the topmost tier reserved for very large, consistently profitable and globally active enterprises such as ONGC, NTPC and Indian Oil.
Hence, the answer is Navratna.
