Union Cabinet Approves 10,000 Crore SME Growth Fund to Support MSMEs
India's Union Cabinet approved a 10,000 crore SME Growth Fund to support small and medium enterprises through equity investments aimed at expanding capacity, adopting technology, and enhancing global competitiveness. While the fund targets SMEs broadly, including manufacturing units in tier II and III cities, micro units express uncertainty about their eligibility and await detailed guidelines. Industry representatives note the fund will aid participation in trade fairs and international business activities, though concerns remain over raw material costs and operational viability for micro units.
