This review of pricing in Indian public enterprise is broadly concerned with the relationship, planned or actual, between prices and surpluses, the distinctive techniques of pricing adopted by different public enterprises, and the conceptual as well as the practical implications of the pricing policies adopted in the public sector. Except for a few remarks on state government enterprises which, in fields other than electricity and road transport, yet constitute a relatively small segment of the public sector in the country, the present study relates mainly to the enterprises of the central government.
