Introduction
The Indian Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) sector is the backbone of the national economic structure and has unremittingly acted as the bulwark for the Indian economy, providing it resilience to ward off global economic shocks and adversities1. With around 63.4 million units throughout the geographical expanse of the country, MSMEs contribute around 6.11% of the manufacturing GDP and 24.63% of the GDP from service activities as well as 33.4% of India’s manufacturing output.
MSMEs not only play crucial role in providing large employment opportunities at comparatively lower capital cost than large industries but also help in industrialization of rural & backward areas, thereby, reducing regional imbalances, assuring more equitable distribution of national income and wealth2. The MSME sector contributes about 40% of the total employment in India becoming the second largest employer apart from agricultural3. MSME sector has created 110 Million jobs (360.41 lacs in Manufacturing, 387.18 lacs in Trade and 362.22 lacs in Other Services)4. The top 10 States together accounted for a share of 74.05 % of the total estimated number of MSMEs in the country. Maharashtra shares in Total MSME’s is approx. 8% (47.78 Lacs) of Total MSME’s (633.90 Lacs) in India4. There are over 6000 products ranging from traditional to High-tech items, which are being manufactured by MSMEs in India. The contribution of MSME sector to India’s GDP is ~30% and ~48% of India’s Export5. It has become the catalyst aiding and propelling the socio-economic transformation agenda of the country.
India’s current economy according to IMF is the 5th largest in the world with the size of $2.94 trillion6 and is expected to reach $5 trillion by the year 2025 of which MSMEs have the potential to act as an engine for growth in achieving this target.
International Scenario

SMEs usually comprise about 99 per cent of all enterprises, and account for from 44 to 70 per cent of employment and 50 per cent of manufacturing output.8
The UNCTAD group also states that SME sector plays an important role in economic development:
- It constitutes a major source of employment
- It provides most of the essential goods and services to the society
- It generates significant domestic and export earnings
- SME development emerges as a key investment in poverty reduction efforts
