According to the bank website, "In India, there are an estimated 63.4 million MSMEs, contributing about 30% to the country's gross domestic product, 40% of exports and employing 111 million persons. Government of India is targeting to increase MSME output contribution to 50%, export contribution to 75% and employment to 150 million by 2024, in line with the target to make India a $5 trillion economy. The government has prioritized MSME promotion as part of NITI Aayog's Strategy for New[email protected], with particular emphasis on (i) easing credit availability; (ii) supporting firms to adopt Industry 4.0 practices, especially technological upgradation to enhance productivity; (iii) facilitating integration of MSMEs with apprenticeship schemes; and (iv) supporting MSME clusters with common facilities to reduce costs and improve quality. The government's vision for MSMEs' transformation is constrained by the fact that the MSME sector in India is dominated by informal microbusinesses who lack the scale, experience, and resources to adopt latest technologies and professional business management tools for operational efficiency, and integrate with global value chains. Also, burdensome regulatory processes and insufficient institutional support for MSMEs' statutory compliances and capacity development exacerbate the operational environment for MSMEs."
