Foreign and local fund providers are taking huge interest in the small and medium enterprises of India. Banking sector has also shown a keen interest in lending credit to these enterprises. Recent mergers have taken place in the sector. The sector has significantly contributed towards the domestic production as well as the export earnings. Low investment is required to start and maintain these enterprises. The sector has contributed impressively towards job creation and increase in individual incomes. Technological growth is also a factor for growth of SME's in India as there are several trade portals and BUISNESSESS DIRECTORIES available online with huge database of buyers, sellers, manufacturers who are basically back bone of SME's.

CHALLENGE AHEAD FOR SMES

Infrastructure needs to be developed for setting up the SMEs in the rural sector of the country. Transportation, electricity and communication are the main parts of the infrastructure required. Technology need to be evolved so that quality products are manufactured by the sector. Lack of information about the inputs, including raw material, machinery and skills, is one critical challenge in front of the owners of these enterprises. High level of research and development is required.
