As  per  the Public Enterprises Survey 2015-16, that was laid on the Table of both the  Houses  of  Parliament  on  21.3.2017,  there  are  78  Central  Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) which have incurred loss in 2015-16. The Ministry-wise, State-wise (State, where registered office of CPSEs are located) details of loss making CPSEs are given in Annexure-I.

The CPSEs suffer with sickness due to a number of factors including poor  order  book,  shortage  of  working  capital,  surplus  manpower, obsolete  plant  and  machinery  and  difficulty  to  adjust  to  changing market conditions.

As per the information available with Department of Public Enterprises, the  details  of  CPSEs  /units  approved  for  closure  by  the  Government are given in Annexure-II.
