Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Director-General Chandrajit Banerjee has expressed optimism that Indian Public Sector Enterprises can become globally competitive, referring to the CII Research report ‘The Rise of the Elephant: Enhancing Competitiveness of Central Public Sector Enterprises’ due for formal release on 18 November. Banerjee also noted that their research report identifies specific actions to boost the competitiveness of public sector enterprises.
The report highlights that there are examples internationally and a few in India to demonstrate that efficient operations and fulfilment of social obligations are not contradictory. Drawing from these CII Research has developed a Competitiveness Model, comprising six key elements, to enable Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) to compete successfully in the global marketplace.
CII also said that central public sector enterprises (CPSEs) must be subject to the same governance standards as private players. Excessive scrutiny from the Central Vigilance Commission and the Comptroller Auditor General, coupled with the threat of Central Bureau of Investigation often leads to stalled or over-cautious decision-making in CPSEs. The industry body further noted that distinction must be made between mala-fide action and taking a business risk.
