A government-owned company can be characterized as a business entity where the Central Government, one or more State Governments, or a combination of both, collectively own more than half (51% or more) of the total paid-up share capital. This category also encompasses any subsidiary companies of such government-owned entities. This structure implies that the government holds a majority stake in the company, thereby exerting substantial influence over its operational and strategic decisions.
