The central government has elevated Oil India (OIL), a central public sector enterprise (CPSE) in the petroleum sector, to the status of Maharatna, resulting in a total of 13 Maharatna companies.

This transition grants the OIL Board increased authority in making financial decisions. OIL boasts an annual turnover of Rs 410.39 billion and a net profit of Rs 98.54 billion.

In addition, the government has promoted ONGC Videsh (OVL) to the rank of Navratna, adding to the count of Navratnas, which now totals 14.
