About The Book

The investment in public sector enterprises has grown from Rs. 99,329 crores in 244 enterprises as on 31.3.90 to Rs. 2,52,554 crores in 240 enterprises as on 31.3.2000. After the implementation of New Economic Policy in 1991, the thrust on privatisation, globalisation and liberalisation has built a newer economic fabric. Commercial viability efficiency, reasonable return on investment, exit policy, disinvestment, MOU etc. have become strategic areas for public sector administrators. Global competitive environment at the dawn of the new millennium has made the issue of administration of public enterprise more complex. This has promoted us to revise the whole script.

This edition has the following special features:
- New case studies are added.
- Latest facts and figures are incorporated.
- 11 new appendices are appended in the end.
- The chapters on disinvestment, privatisation, administrative and coordinating agencies, major public enterprises in India are totally rewritten.
- Old and obsolete material is deleted.
- Every chapter is revised and updated.

We would welcome the valuable suggestions from our esteemed readers for improving the quality of the book.
