New Delhi, Nov 2

The Prime Minister,

Shri Narendra Modi, today

launched a historic

support and outreach

programme for the Micro,

Small and Medium

Enterprises (MSME)

sector. As part of this

programme, the Prime

Minister unveiled12 key

initiatives which will help

the growth, expansion and

facilitation of MSMEs

across the country.

The Prime Minister said

that the 12 decisions that

he is announcing today,

will mark a new chapter

for the MSME sector.

Noting that MSMEs are

one of the principal

employment generators in

India, the Prime Minister

recalled the glorious

Indian traditions of small

scale industry, including

Ludhiana’s hosiery, and

Varanasi’s sarees.

The Prime Minister said

that the success of

economic reforms

launched by the Union

Government, can be

gauged from the rise in

Outreach Initiative for MSME sector

India's “Ease of Doing

Business Rankings,”

from 142 to 77 in four

years.

The Prime Minister said

that there are five key

aspects for facilitating the

MSME sector. These

include access to credit,

access to market,

technology upgradation,

ease of doing business, and

a sense of security for

employees. He said that as

a Diwali gift for the sector,

the 12 announcements he

is making, will address

each of these five

categories.

Access to Credit

As the first

announcement, the Prime

Minister announced the

launch of the 59 minute

loan portal to enable easy

access to credit for

MSMEs. He said that loans

upto Rs. 1 crore can be

granted in-principle

approval through this

portal, in just 59 minutes.

He said a link to this portal

will be made available

through the GST portal.

The Prime Minister

asserted that in New India,

no one should be compelled

to visit a bank branch

repeatedly.

The Prime Minister

mentioned the second

announcement as a 2

percent interest

subvention for all GST

registered MSMEs, on

fresh or incremental

loans. For exporters who

receive loans in the pre-

shipment and post-

shipment period, the

Prime Minister announced

an increase in interest

rebate from 3 percent to 5

percent.

The third announcement

made by the Prime

Minister was that all

companies with a turnover

of more than Rs. 500

crore, must now

compulsorily be brought

on the Trade Receivables e-

Discounting System

(TReDS). He said that

joining this portal will

enable entrepreneurs to

access credit from banks,

based on their upcoming

receivables. This will

resolve their problems of

cash cycle.

Access to Markets

The Prime Minister said

that on access to markets for

entrepreneurs, the Union

Government has taken a

number of steps already. In

this context, he made his

fourth announcement, that

public sector companies

have now been asked to

compulsorily procure 25

percent, instead of 20

percent of their total

purchases, from MSMEs.(Contd. on last page)
