Most of the new orders in tbe Naval Sector are going to ANIL AMBANI only.. PSU babus are paid BRIBE for their inefficiencies n delays.

PSU can survive only when there is no competition or challenge to them.
The private sector is not all allowed to enter in defences sector otherwise L/T, TATA, ADNANI etc are groups, who can offer better products and much cheaper price.
L/T is prime competitor in naval field, A.M.Naik have on records said during UPA regime, I have deliberately kept facilities small as government is not giving orders and facility will remain idle. He was referring to some forging plant at Hazira.
PSU BANKS are all failure, had government not pumped in money time to time.

Success stories of PSUs are there that need to be promoted for further. However most public sector companies have become inefficient due to red tapism and political interference.
