Major Impact

Manufacturing sector currently comprises 17% of the nation’s GDP and over 27.3 million workers https://sbi.com.in/.

India is ready and keen to increase the share of manufacturing to 25% of GDP, especially supported by the ‘Make in India, Make for the World’.

The Mutual Credit Guarantee Scheme for MSMEs (MCGS-MSME) is expected to facilitate the availability of credit for purchase of Plant and Machinery / Equipment by MSMEs and give a major boost to manufacturing and thereby to Make in India https://www.bseindia.com/ .

Background

Global supply chains are realigning. India is emerging as an alternative supply source given its raw materials, low labour costs, growing manufacturing knowhow, and entrepreneurial ability. One of the major costs involved in manufacturing is the fixed cost of Plant and Machinery (P&M)/ Equipment’s.

With availability of credit to expand the installed capacity of manufacturing units, it can be expected that the manufacturing will grow at a faster pace.

Also, the need for a credit guarantee scheme for the manufacturing units, particularly for the enterprises in the medium category has been raised by industry associations from time to time.

So, to give a boost to manufacturing by facilitating the availability of credit for purchase of Plant and Machinery / Equipment, ‘Mutual Credit Guarantee Scheme for MSMEs (MCGS-MSME) is being introduced.

The scheme will facilitate collateral free loans by banks and financial institutions to MSMEs who are in need of debt capital for their expansion and growth. fiinews
