Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced a renewed push for India’s MSME sector in the Union Budget, unveiling fresh funding, revived industrial clusters, and stronger credit pipelines. The measures aim to reset how small businesses access capital, markets, and receivables, reinforcing MSMEs as the backbone of economic growth.

The government will revive 200 legacy industry clusters to restore jobs and modernise traditional manufacturing hubs hit by credit stress. A ₹10,000 crore SME Growth Fund will support high-potential firms, with incentives linked to productivity, formalisation, and export readiness, helping scale enterprises and boost competitiveness.

00:00Recognising MSMEs as a vital engine of growth, I propose a three-pronged approach to help
00:07them grow as champions.
00:11Equity support.
00:12I propose to introduce a dedicated 10,000 crores SME growth fund to create future champions,
00:22incentivising enterprises based on select criteria.
00:30I also propose to top up the self-reliant India fund set up in 2021 with 2,000 crores to continue
00:40support to micro enterprises and maintain their access to risk capital.
00:48Equity support.
00:49With TREADS, more than 7 lakh crores has been made available to MSMEs.
00:56To leverage its full potential, I propose four measures.
01:01One, mandate TREADS as the transaction settlement platform for all purchases from MSMEs by CPSEs,
01:12serving as a benchmark for other corporates.
01:16Two, introduce a credit guarantee support mechanism through CGT MSC for invoice discounting
01:24on TREADS platform.
01:26Three, link GEM with TREADS for sharing information with financiers about government purchases from
01:34MSMEs, encouraging cheaper and quicker financing.
01:40Four, introduce TREADS receivables as asset backed securities, helping develop a secondary
01:48market, enhancing liquidity and settlement of transactions.
01:56Professional support.
01:57Government will facilitate professional institutions such as the ICAI, ICSI, ICMAI to design short-term
02:07modular courses and practical tools to develop a cadre of corporate Mitras, especially in
02:15tier 2 and tier 3 towns.
02:20These accredited paraprofessionals will help MSMEs meet compliance requirements at affordable
02:28costs.
02:29ability.
02:30That's all.
02:31That's it.
02:32That's it.
02:33Thanks for doing that.
02:35Thanks, I will.
