“…In the context of the Pakistani privatisation programme of manufacturing firms, there are remarkably, few studies 10 . Notable among them is the study by Aftab and Khan [1] who compared the pre-and post-privatisation record of five firms in three industries, where employees themselves and private firms purchased the units.…”

“…To fill this gap, we gathered data on the number of workers who opted for a golden handshake at the time of privatisation. Bengali [12], in a study of eight privatised industrial enterprises, including two cement firms, notes that approximately 25% of the workers who opted for the 17 Our output variable is in values rather than quantity and is similar to Bandyopadhyay [10] and Tsckouras and Skuras [86].…”

“… Galal et al [42] is the first study that looked into case studies of cost-benefit analysis of privatisation of companies from across the world 10. The reason includes the unavailability of data, lack of research culture in the country and slow progress in privatising of remaining public sector firms in the last 15 years.…”

The cement industry of India is a major contibutor to its economy and generates huge employment opportunities. In the present study, the cement operating in India has been evaluated using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Super Efficiency Data Envelopment Analysis (SDEA) for measuring its operational efficiency, productivity and profitability. Data have been obtained on 17 Indian cement companies for the financial year 2017-18 on 4 input and 1 output variables which are Raw Material Cost, Power and Fuel Expenses, Salary &Wages, Total Assets and Total Revenue respectively. Most of the big players like UltraTech, ACC Ltd. and Shree cement were both technical and scale efficient as expected but Super efficiency DEA analysis gave away surprising results. The less known and a small-scale company namely; OCL India Ltd. emerged as the most efficient cement producer followed by Prism Cement. It is evident from the study that the big players are not able to take the advantage of economies of scale.

Research on the impacts of broader reforms, including privatization on firms' long-run financial and operational performance, is extremely important but only occasionally performed. This study evaluates the long-run financial performance, total factor productivity, efficiency and technology of Pakistani cement manufacturing firms. We conclude that privatized firms have in fact achieved significant productivity growth in the long run due to technological progress compared to no growth in the pre-reform period. Interestingly, however, better productive performance has not contributed to long-run profitability and income efficiency gains, thereby casting serious doubt on the long-run financial benefits of reforms, including privatization.
