World MSME Day : Sector reforming to overcome logistic, tech hurdles - India Shipping News

The MSME sector in India, which employs over 111 million people and contributes to 27% of the country's GDP, is reforming to overcome logistical and technical hurdles and embrace digitalization. The sector has faced challenges during the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly in logistics and e-commerce implementation. The National Logistics Policy aims to cut logistics costs by half and create a comprehensive ecosystem for the MSME sector. The introduction of data-driven technologies has improved supply chain management for MSMEs, but cost constraints remain a barrier to technological adoption. Schemes like PMMY and Credit Guarantee Fund Trust support small businesses.
