It is displeased that the same schedule is used to seek responses by clubbing micro-enterprises with small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which collectively are referred to as MSMEs.

According to the MSME Ministry’s financial report inFY20-21, about 6.33 crore MSMEs in India and 6.30 crore are micro-enterprises, in small units, there is 3.31 lakh, a total of 5,000 are in medium businesses accounting for 0.52 percent and 0.01 percent of the total estimated MSMEs.

The micro-enterprises have the lesser servants up to 10 which are started with low capital and have a relatively localized market.

Its contributions are approximately 8% of the country’s GDP, around 45% of the manufacturing output, and approximately 40% of the country’s exports in India. It won’t be erroneous to refer to them as the “Backbone of the country.”

For stressed MSMEs, subordinate debt provision of INR 200 billion (US$2.65 billion) has been announced for 200,000 MSMEs. In FY21, the loan disbursals to MSMEs arise at Rs. 9.5 trillion a 40% increase compared with Rs.6.8 trillion in FY20

The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) for November 2020 stands at 126.3 which is 1.9 percent lower as compared to 2019.

The micro-entrepreneurs unit accounts for 90.1 percent of the MSME output and 91.9 percent of income. The service-based micro-enterprises also happen to be twice as much in the number of the micro-sized manufacturers that a similar pattern is observed.

In June, The association along with its members had surveyed and covered more than 81,000 self-employed and entrepreneurs running micro and small businesses.

One of the surveys noted that 73 percent of SMEs didn’t make any profit during the FY21 while 88 percent of respondents were yet to avail of any stimulus packages introduced by the government.

They have introduced proposals like offering collateral-free loan compensation and special liquidity schemes through partial guarantee schemes to revive the sector. The government hopes would collar job losses and would help in kick-starting the economy again.

The central government had promised a target of achieving a $5 trillion economy by 2024 out of which $2 trillion was to be the contribution of the MSME sector.

The central government has taken many steps recently to providing boost up the MSME sector. According to Niti Aayog, nearly 20 percent of the expenditure today is on technological advancement. Other than that, the technology hubs also need to be set up. There is also a project for 100 extension technology centers.
