“This year’s Union Budget sends a strong signal on technology-led growth, with its continued focus on AI, digital infrastructure, and innovation creating a solid foundation for businesses across the MSME ecosystem. For small and growing enterprises, these measures can significantly accelerate digital transformation, improve productivity, and enhance competitiveness. The ₹10,000 crore MSME Growth Fund is a timely move, addressing the need for patient capital that can help MSMEs scale and invest in innovation, while the additional ₹4,000 crore allocation to the Self-Reliant India Fund reinforces confidence in equity-led growth for capable enterprises. Liquidity-focused measures such as expanded credit guarantees, GeM–TReDS integration, and improved invoice discounting directly tackle working-capital challenges by accelerating cash flows.
The emphasis on revitalising industrial clusters and introducing ‘corporate mitras’ in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities will further ease compliance and adoption of modern business practices. Overall, the Budget is practical, encouraging, and supportive of sustainable, long-term MSME growth.”
