At the local level, the MSME sector, which employs the most with low capital, minimum risk, and infrastructure, will play an important role. As more and more new units are opened in this sector, old units are increasing their production capacity through technological up-gradation and enhancing the quality of their products as per the market demand.

Additional Chief Secretary (MSME) Navneet Sehgal said that in the current financial year, the target is to give Rs 75,000 crore loan to 20 lakh new and old units. "So far, loans worth nearly Rs 30,000 crore have been disbursed to more than 11 lakh units. If an average of 4 to 5 people gets employment in a unit, then 80 lakh to one crore people will get employment in this sector alone in this financial year." (IANS)
