 Introduction

1.1 Background
1.1.1 The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector has emerged as a highly vibrant and
dynamic sector of the Indian economy over the last five decades. It contributes significantly
in the economic and social development of the country by fostering entrepreneurship
and generating large employment opportunities at comparatively lower capital cost, next
only to agriculture. MSMEs are complementary to large industries as ancillary units and
this sector contributes significantly in the inclusive industrial development of the country.
The MSMEs are widening their domain across sectors of the economy, producing diverse
range of products and services to meet demands of domestic as well as global markets. An
overview and performance of MSME Sector in the country is provided in Chapter 2.

1.1.2 Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (M/o MSME) envisions a progressive MSME
sector by promoting growth and development of the Sector, including Khadi, Village and
Coir Industries, in cooperation with concerned Ministries/Departments, State Governments
and other Stakeholders, through providing support to existing enterprises, adopting cutting
edge technologies and encouraging creation of new enterprises. The organization chart
of the Ministry is given in paragraph 1.3.1 while the details of the recent initiatives of the
Ministry are provided in Paragraph 1.4.

1.1.3 A number of statutory and non-statutory bodies work under the aegis of the Ministry
of MSME. These include the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) and the
Coir Board besides National Small Industries Corporation (NSIC), National Institute for
Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (NIMSME) and Mahatma Gandhi Institute for Rural
Industrialisation (MGIRI). Details about the mandate and performance of these bodies are
provided in Chapter 3.

1.1.4 The Ministry of MSME runs various schemes aimed at financial assistance, technology
assistance and upgradation, infrastructure development, skill development and training,
enhancing competitiveness and market assistance of MSMEs. A detailed list of schemes is
provided in Chapter 4.

1.1.5 The Ministry is committed towards an agenda of inclusive development, and has taken
various initiatives and measures to ensure that demographically as well as geographically
weaker sections benefit from its work. A summary information on such initiatives is given
in Chapter 5.

1.1.6 The Ministry is also committed towards the progressive use of Official Language “Hindi”
in all the attached Offices under the M/o MSME. Besides this, continuous measures on
Vigilance, RTI, Prevention of Sexual harassment can be seen in Chapter 6.

1.2 Mandate of the Ministry of MSME

1.2.1 On 9 May 2007, the erstwhile Ministry of Small Scale Industries and the Ministry of Agro and
Rural Industries were merged to form the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises
(M/o MSME). The Ministry designs policies, promotes/ facilitates programmes/ projects/
schemes and monitors their implementation, with a view to assisting MSMEs and helping
them to scale up.

1.2.2 The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development (MSMED) Act was notified in 2006
to address different issues affecting MSMEs, inter alia, the coverage and investment ceiling
of the sector. The MSMED Act seeks to facilitate the development of these enterprises as also
enhance their competitiveness. The MSMED Act has the following key provisions:

- Establishment of a National Board for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises headed
by the Minister for MSME. The role of the Board is to examine the factors affecting
the promotion and development of MSMEs, review the policies and programmes
of the Central Government and make recommendations in regard to facilitating the
promotion and development and enhancing their competitiveness.

- It provides the legal framework for recognition of the concept of “enterprise” which
comprises both manufacturing and service entities. It defines medium enterprises for
the first time and seeks to integrate the three tiers of these enterprises, namely, Micro,
Small and Medium.

- It empowers the Central Government to undertake programmes and issue guidelines

and instructions to develop and enhance the competitiveness of MSMEs.

1.2.3 Definition of Micro, Small and Medium enterprises:

In accordance with the provision of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises Development
(MSMED) Act, 2006 the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) are classified as
below:

(i) a micro enterprise, where the investment in plant and machinery or equipment does
not exceed one crore rupees and turnover does not exceed five crore rupees;

4
 Annual report 2022-23

(ii) a small enterprise, where the investment in plant and machinery or equipment does
not exceed ten crore rupees and turnover does not exceed fifty crore rupees; and

(iii) a medium enterprise, where the investment in plant and machinery or equipment
does not exceed fifty crore rupees and turnover does not exceed two hundred and fifty
crore rupees.

[Link]. The new classification has come into effect from 1st July, 2020. The earlier criteria of
classification of MSMEs under MSMED Act, 2006 were based on investment in plant and
machinery / equipment. It was different for manufacturing and service units. It was also
very low in terms of financial limits. Since then, the economy has undergone significant
changes. A revision in MSME criteria of classification was announced under Aatma Nirbhar
Bharat package on 13th May, 2020. This has been done in order to be realistic with
time and to establish an objective system of classification and to provide ease of doing
business.

[Link]. As a result, a new composite classification for manufacturing and service units has been
notified on 26.06.2020, to facilitate the present and prospective entrepreneurs. Now, there
will be no difference between manufacturing and service sectors. Also, a new criterion of
turnover has been added in the previous criterion of classification based only on investment
in plant and machinery. The new criteria are expected to bring about many benefits that will
aid MSMEs to grow in size. It has also been decided that the turnover with respect to exports
will not be counted in the limits of turnover for any category of MSME units whether micro,
small or medium. This is yet another step towards ease of doing business. This will help in
attracting investments and creating more jobs in the MSME sector. The change in criteria of
classifying the MSMEs is set to offer major relief to the exporters.

1.2.4. The primary responsibility of promotion and development of MSMEs is of the State
Governments. However, the Government of India, supplements efforts of the State
Governments through various initiatives. The role of the Ministry of MSME and its
organisations is to assist the States in their efforts to encourage entrepreneurship,
employment and livelihood opportunities and enhance the competitiveness of MSMEs in
the changed economic scenario.

capital cost than large industries as well as through industrialization of rural & backward
areas, inter alia, reducing regional imbalances, assuring more equitable distribution of
national income and wealth.

Coir is a coarse fibre extracted from husk, the fibrous outer shell of coconut. Ropes and
cordage, made out of coconut fibre have been in use from ancient times. Indian navigators,
who sailed the seas to Malaya, Java, China and to the Gulf of Arabia centuries ago, had been
using coir as their ship’s cables. Matting and other floor coverings, was started in India
on a factory basis, over a hundred and fifty years ago when the first factory was set up in
Alappuzha in 1859. Coir industry is an agro-based traditional industry, which originated in
the State of Kerala and proliferated to the other coconut producing states like Tamil Nadu,
Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Assam, Tripura etc. It is an
export oriented industry having potential to enhance exports by value addition through
technological interventions.

framework for energy efficiency in India and includes United Nations Industrial Development
Organization (UNIDO) as the Implementing Agency (IA) and Ministry of MSME as the Lead
Executing Agency (EA). The key executing partner for the project is Energy Efficiency
Services Ltd (EESL). Small Industrial Development Bank of India (SIDBI) and Bureau of
Energy Efficiency (BEE) are the guiding agencies for the project.

OBJECTIVE:
The project aims to promote the implementation of energy efficiency in the MSME sector,
to create and sustain a revolving fund mechanism to ensure replication of energy efficiency
measures in the sector and to address the identified barriers for scaling-up energy efficiency
measures and consequently promote a cleaner and more competitive MSME industry in
India. The project zooms in on sector specific energy efficient process technologies and
aims to facilitate investments therein, through combination of reduction of technical risks
(standardization and localization of technology) and reduction of financing burden (through
market aggregation and innovative, energy service-based funding model).

The project has the following Specific objectives:

a. promote implementation of energy efficiency in the MSME sector;
b. create and sustain a mechanism that would ensure replication of energy efficiency measures
in the sector;
c. create a revolving fund by apportioning a part of the revenues from the aggregator (EESL)
that would sustain the activities beyond the life of this project; and
d. to address the identified barriers for scaling-up energy efficiency measures and consequently
promote a cleaner and more competitive MSME industry in India.

ENERGY TARGET:
In total, the project is expected to result in direct annual energy savings of 956,184 GJ; with
lifetime of investments being 10 years, this means a total 10-year reduction of 9,561,838 GJ.
Under the project, the target of CO2 emission reduction is 86,000 Tonnes per year.

ACHIEVEMENT:
 Under the project, 740 surveys have been done under 10 clusters. Under these clusters, 100
baseline studies and 90 detailed energy audits has been completed.
 The programme has directly benefitted 120 MSME units so far which includes MSME
units, MSME technology manufacturers and technology suppliers under 20 technologies
and capacity of 3500 MSME personnel has been built through organization of 36 technical
workshop till November 2022. From the project, 470 MSME units will be directly benefitted
by adoption of 35 energy efficient technologies. So far, due to this intervention, around 35
MSME units have implemented these energy efficient technologies in their units.
 The project is also in the process of developing and train 100 local service providers (LSPs)
related to those energy efficient technologies
 It is on the path of creating an investment opportunities to the tune of 150mnUSD.
 The project has been able to make great inroads in terms of identifying 36 promising energy
efficient technologies, out of which 20 technologies has been successfully demonstrated in
12 MSME clusters from diverse industrial sectors. There are few replications also has been
commissioned under project and an innovative financing model has been designed to roll
out a revolving fund dedicated to the energy efficient technologies which would go a long
way in providing substantive financial support to the participating industries. Overall more
than 100 equipments has resulted into 1900 Tons of Oil Equivalent and saved 4.4 crore of
Rs. per year and 9000 Tons of Carbon emissions. Huge Number of operators and technicians
has been provided training to sustain such efforts. We are looking forward for many MSMEs
to participate in the energy efficiency intervention in comings days not only in the selected
clusters but also beyond these clusters.
