Central Public Sector Undertakings (CPSUs)

Central Public Sector Undertakings (CPSUs) are government-owned companies established to operate in various industries for national growth and public interest. They are owned and managed by the government but function as autonomous entities, combining public accountability with business efficiency. CPSUs aim to provide essential services, generate employment, and contribute to economic development while maintaining profit motives. Examples include oil, steel, and transportation companies. Their role is to balance commercial objectives with social responsibilities, ensuring national priorities are met through strategic management and operational independence.
