Must Read

betterment of the MSME sector India . The Indian MSME sector is one the
fastest and most efficient business sectors in the entire world. This
sector continuously shows an annual growth rate of approximately

in contrast to the other sectors. The Government of India is very
forward looking in terms of the development of the MSME industry.

policies about MSME sector. These schemes prove to be instrumental
in providing opportunities for the business owners of the MSME sector
as well as those people that are looking for employment opportunities
within this sector. It is very important for all the stakeholders to keep a
tab on the current trends in the global market as well as identifying the
drivers of demand in the domestic market and enabling the MSME
businesses to cater to and suffice that demand. There is an immediate
resurgence in the use of modern technology amongst the Indian MSME
businesses and as a result of which many international corporations are
also starting to notice the ways of operation of the MSMEs and the
product and services that are derived out of this sector.

The MSME turnover limit 2022 have been requested to be raised to
Rs.100 Cr for businesses classifying as ‘small’ enterprises. As per the
existing classification of MSMEs, a unit is categorized as a small
enterprise if its investment in plant and machinery or equipment does
not exceed Rs 10 crore and the turnover is less than Rs 50 crore. It is
very important to raise this ceiling as the MSME sector contributes
almost 50% to exports and that amount has to further accelerate to
meet the rising demands from the market. This suggestion if
implemented accordingly will prove to be very beneficial for boosting
the entire MSME sector. Therefore, the improvement in the MSME
