    Question

    Which status was conferred upon Shipping Corporation of India (SCI) by the Government of India in August 2008?

    A.

    Navratna

    B.

    Miniratna

    C.

    Maharatna

    D.

    Dashratna

    Correct option is A

    The correct answer is: A (Navratna)
    • In August 2008, the Government of India conferred the Navratna status on the Shipping Corporation of India (SCI).
    • This status was given to public sector enterprises that have a good track record of performance and are expected to grow significantly in their respective sectors.
    • The Navratna status provides companies with greater operational autonomy to make decisions related to investment, procurement, and personnel, which helps in improving their efficiency and competitiveness.

    Information Booster:

    • Miniratna: This status is granted to companies with good financial performance, but they do not have as much autonomy as Navratna companies.
    • Maharatna: This is the highest status given to companies of national importance that have excellent financial performance and a strong track record.
    • Dashratna: This is not a recognized status for public sector enterprises and does not exist.
