Kolkata, 1st February, 2025: CS (Dr.) Adv. Mamta Binani, President of MSME Development Forum WB said, “The recently announced Union Budget for 2025-26 by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is a game-changer for MSMEs. The enhanced credit guarantee, increased investment limits, and targeted support for women and young entrepreneurs will significantly drive growth and innovation, making Indian MSMEs more competitive on the global stage while creating much-needed employment opportunities. The introduction of customized credit cards with a ₹5 lakh limit for micro enterprises will provide essential access to finance, enabling growth and sustainability. Furthermore, the focus on tackling non-tariff barriers to exports and enhancing global competitiveness will open new avenues for MSMEs to thrive internationally. These measures, along with the increased focus on women and youth entrepreneurs, will drive innovation, create jobs, and position India as a formidable global manufacturing hub. This holistic approach to strengthening MSMEs is a significant step towards inclusive and sustainable economic growth.”
