However, despite over 70 million micro units, 0.33 million (3,30,000) small industries, and 10000+ medium industries across the country, MSME businesses in India are yet to prove their mettle globally. Sensing this gap between opportunity & reward, the Indian Government cluster development programs (MSE-CDP) is working for micro and small enterprises to enhance productivity, competitiveness & efficiency.
