Of these, 15 are elected annually from the Lok Sabha using the principle of proportional representation through a single transferable vote. The remaining 7 members are nominated by the Rajya Sabha to serve alongside the committee.

  • The Chairman of the Committee on Public Undertakings is appointed by the Speaker of the Lok Sabha from among its members.
