PowerGrid gets 'Navratna' status


The govt granted coveted 'Navratna' status to Power Grid Corporation
of India Ltd, giving the transmission major financial autonomy to take
independent decision on investments up to Rs 1,000 crore.


"We have issued the order after the company fulfilled some of the
criteria, like taking 50 percent non-official independent directors on
the board," Secretary in the Department of Public Enterprises R
Bandhopadhyay told on Thursday.


With the grant of the Navratna status, the board of PGCIL will be able
to take decisions on investments up to Rs 1,000 crore, or 15 percent
of its networth, without seeking approval of the government.


Bandhopadhyay said PGCIL now joins the club of 15 Navratna companies
which include NTPC, ONGC, SAIL, BHEL and NALCO.


Bollywood, fun, friendship, sports and more. You name it, we have it.
