Most deserving of all . Prof B B Lal, archeologist, ASI  is awarded the Padma Vibhushan. His findings of excavations done in late 80s-90s of Babri Masjid. Was vital to prove the remains of a Hindu temple, paving way for RJB Ram Mandir

Does the ASI count as a PSU? Probably not.

 

Aren't PSU employees not eligible for these awards?

It is a Government agency attached to the Ministry of Culture. They are like Government employees, IASs get to to head the agency. Last year K.K Mohammed , also, a archeologist attached to ASI , a protege of BB Lal , was awarded the Padma Shri. 
 

Padma award website says

 

https://padmaawards.gov.in/AboutAwards.aspx

 

“All persons without distinction of race, occupation, position or sex are eligible for these awards. However, Government servants including those working with PSUs, except doctors and scientists, are not eligible for these Awards.“

 

Maybe Archeologists are considered scientists and are exempt. Prof BB Lal is of course retired, as well as KKM
