What is the definition of a public ltd company?

Please refer Avtar Sing Company Law 17th Edition.

A company is organization of people which is formed to achieve common objective and incorporated by following the Rules of Companies Act, 2013 in India.

As defined under the section 2(71) of the Companies Act 2013, a Public Company means a company which –

(a) is not a private company; and

(b) has a minimum share capital as may be prescribed.

Provided that a company which is a subsidiary of a company, not being a private company, shall be deemed to be public company for the purposes of this Act even where such subsidiary company continues to be a private company in its articles.

The requirement of minimum paid-up capital of the company is removed by the Act. However, the authorised capital must be kept minimum Rs 5 Lakh. The requirement of minimum 7 members is not provided in the definition but prescribed in section 3 of the Act.
