ONGC, Coal India, NTPC, National Mineral Development Corporation (NMDC) and Power Finance Corporation were...

the top five profit-making CPSEs during 2014-15.

On the other hand, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd, Air India, Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd, Hindustan Photo Films Manufacturing Company and Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals were the top five loss-making CPSEs.

The CPSEs had contributed Rs. 2,20,981 crore to the central exchequer in 2013-14.

"This was mainly on account of a decrease in their contribution to dividend, corporate tax and custom duty in 2014-15," as per the 2015-16 Economic Survey tabled by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in Parliament.
