All About MSME

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a critical role in India’s economic growth, contributing significantly to GDP, exports, and job creation. Recognising their importance, the government has periodically revised the MSME classification criteria to better reflect the changing business environment and help entrepreneurs access essential benefits such as loans, subsidies, and tax incentives. In the Union Budget 2025, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced a major update to the New MSME classification, increasing the investment limit by 2.5 times and doubling the turnover limits. The revised MSME criteria may come into effect from April 1, 2025. This move is aimed at fostering growth, encouraging innovation, and creating a more enabling ecosystem for MSMEs to flourish. In this article, we will look into the MSME New Definition.
