The study used the secondary firm level data with the objective to estimate technical efficiencies and its components of the selected firms and intention to identify the input and output targets for the enhancement of technical efficiency. The research tools used in the study are instrumental to assess the causes of bottlenecks, with the improvement of which, one can improve the technical efficiency. Different peers and peers' weights are also analysed. The study adopted a solution-based approach by framing profitability-efficiency matrix through which one can evaluate the behaviour of both the profitability and efficiency combinations of the firms. This study also offers to determine factors responsible for the inefficiency of the selected DMUs and suggests different measures with which optimum utilisation of resources and enhancement of the efficiency of the selected firms can be ensured.
