March 3, 2025AdvertisementNavratna status is granted to CPSEs that meet specific financial and operational criteria, allowing them greater autonomy in investment and decision-making. Navratna companies can invest up to Rs 1,000 crore, or 15% of their net worth, on a single project without government approval, with an overall investment cap of 30% of net worth in a financial year.
With this upgrade, IRCTC and IRFC join other Navratna CPSEs, including Bharat Electronics Ltd., Container Corporation of India, Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd., Oil India Ltd., among others.
