New Delhi, April 10: NLC India Limited (NLCIL) marked the 17th Public Sector Day at its Neyveli headquarters, reaffirming the critical role of Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) in driving India’s economic growth and industrial development. The event was held under the aegis of the Standing Conference of Public Enterprises (SCOPE).

Addressing the gathering, Chairman and Managing Director Prasanna Kumar Motupalli highlighted the scale and impact of India’s public sector, noting that over 450 PSUs collectively account for investments exceeding ₹100 lakh crore, generate revenues of ₹38 lakh crore, and contribute ₹5 lakh crore to the national exchequer.
