The Indian government has reaffirmed its commitment to fostering a conducive environment for the growth of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Recent reforms in the Union Budget 2025 include enhanced investment and turnover limits, increased credit guarantee covers, and targeted support for first-time entrepreneurs. The revised MSME classification criteria aim to facilitate business expansion without losing government incentives, such as market support and preferential procurement. With over 1 crore MSMEs employing 7.5 crore people and contributing significantly to manufacturing and exports, these measures are expected to boost India's manufacturing potential and position it as a global hub.
