Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is a negotiated agreement between Government as owner of public enterprises and the management of the Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs). MoU is meant to measure the Performance of Management of PSE at the end of the year in an objective and transparent manner.
In the search of improving accountability and giving higher operational autonomy to Public Sector Undertaking, the Department of Public Sector Enterprises (DPE) Government of India introduced the concept of Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in early nineties. The new Industrial Policy of 1991 made it mandatory for all PSUs to enter in to MoU with their respective Administrative Ministries. The MoU over these years has gained significant improvement from the fact that it reflects the company’s overall composite rating and secondly the performance of the Chief Executive of the company is partly seen through MoU. The strengthening of existing system of monitoring PSUs through MoU is an important element of the present policy of the Government.
