Performance of Indian Navratna companies

Department of Public Enterprises (DPE), an organizing body of government of India confers status of Navratna to some state owned companies, Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSE). As of today there are 18 Navratna companies.

Each company is benchmarked on
(1) ratio of employee cost to the production cost,
(2) ratio of net profit to net worth,
(3) ratio of PBDIT to revenues,
(4) ratio of PBDIT to capital employed,
(5) EPS, and
