Cochin Shipyard Ltd gained 3 percent in the morning trade on August 1 after the state-owned shipbuilder said it has been upgraded from ‘Schedule B’ to ‘Schedule A’ Central Public Sector Enterprise (CPSE), allowing it to effectively manage its seven units.
All CPSEs are categorised into four schedules – A, B, C and D – which has implications for their organisational structure and salary of board level incumbents among others.
In a post-market hours regulatory filing on July 31, Cochin Shipyard Ltd (CSL) said the upgrade was notified by the ministry of ports, shipping and waterways.
“This upgradation of CSL to ‘Schedule A’ recognises CSL’s strong financial performance and operational efficiency and contribution to national security,” it said.
