The winners were selected by Dun & Bradstreet’s propriety model, based on several parameters including total income, profitability, and net worth, amongst others.

The event also marked the launch of Dun & Bradstreet India’s annual publication ‘India’s Top PSUs 2022’, which is an initiative to recognize the important role that PSUs play in nation-building. The 14th edition of the publication profiles Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) which are a part of the Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) list, scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) from the public sector, public sector insurance companies, public sector NBFCs/financial institutions and special government institutions incorporated under specific government acts.
Speaking at the event, Avinash Gupta, Managing Director & CEO – India, Dun & Bradstreet said, “India has 225 operating Central PSUs across the country with a total financial investment of approximately 22 trillion rupees as of March 2021. They have provided employment to at least 1.3 million people (as at December 2021) and account for approximately 6% of the total market capitalization of BSE. CPSEs have been at the forefront of initiatives such as the AatmaNirbhar Bharat Abhiyan for capacity building, greater sustainability & resilience. In fact, CPSEs procurement from local MSMEs stands at 25% of the total procurement for FY’21.”
“Over the years, the PSUs have taken the lead in adopting the ‘Digital First’ policy to review their business operations, simplify processes, and optimize workflows, in sync with the advanced technological intervention. Various PSUs have embarked on this journey years ago by implementing digital transformation across their value chain. They have used technology as enabler to ensure business continuity, as well as manage the health and well-being of their employees and their families during COVID-19, all while ensuring uninterrupted supply to customers,” added Gupta.
