Lauding the efforts of DSIJ for recognizing the talents and merits of PSUs through this award, Mr. Ajit Singh, Minister of Civil Aviation  said; "My appreciation extends not just to the winners but the whole PSU fraternity for having played a pivotal role in creating modern India. In fact, I am pretty much amazed and would also like to congratulate Dalal Street Investment Journal for having decided to evaluate and felicitate a section of the Indian economy which is being looked upon by many today as slow moving and hence lacking in contemporary relevance as compared to its modern, lean and agile private sector peers."

Speaking on the success of the award ceremony, Mr. Sanjay Padode, Managing Director, DSIJ Private Limited said, "I have always been amazed by the resilience of the The Indian PSUs as they continue to perform and deliver upon their promise of keeping Corporate India amongst the global elite whilst delivering their social obligations.
