Strategic Investment Plan – RAMP Chhattisgarh
A diagnostic study of the existing MSME sector was conducted as part of preparation of Strategic Investment Plan (SIP) under the RAMP scheme in which consultations and interactions with relevant stakeholders like government departments, agencies, industry associations, support institutions, individual enterprises etc. A field survey of MSMEs were conducted and about 20 Focussed group discussions were also held. Following is a brief on the SIP prepared:
Chhattisgarh has more than 4.5 lakhs Udyam registered MSMEs with almost 97% of them belonging to the micro enterprises category. Raipur, Durg and Bilaspur are the districts with significant number of MSMEs accounting to nearly 42% of the total UR MSMEs in the State. Other districts with major MSME concentration include Raigarh, Janjgir-Champa, Rajnandagaon, Korba, Balod bazar, Mahasamund, Surguja and Dhamtari. These 8 districts together account for about 30% of UR MSMEs
Manufacture of food products (about 18%), Fabrication of metal products, except machinery and equipment (9%), manufacture of other non-metallic mineral products (8%), manufacture of furniture (6%), manufacture of chemical products (4%) are the major activities in which significant number of Udyam registered enterprises are engaged in manufacturing. During the study following major challenges faced by the MSMEs were observed:
Major Challenges
Access to Finance
- Collaterals being asked for availing loans above Rs.10 lakhs
- Cumbersome loan availing process
- Experience delays in loan sanctions, and receiving less funding than availed
- Delayed payments
- Inadequate awareness on invoice discounting
- Additional cost associated with availing loans under CGTMSE scheme
Access to Market
- Lack of export market information
- Less utilization of online platforms for marketing.
- The need for more B2B Connect programmes
- Strong call from small MSE preference for priority as local suppliers in the public procurements.
- Inadequate awareness on invoice discounting
- Need to move up the value chain to explore market opportunities outside State.
Promoting Women Entrepreneurship
The participation of women entrepreneurs in the organised MSME sector is only 14%, lower than national average of 18%. There are potential sectors like Food processing, Minor Forest produce, handloom & textiles, and handicrafts. were presence of women workforce and entrepreneurs can have a high share.
Factor Conditions
- Gap in the demand and supply of workforce with required skills.
- Need for optimising the courses offered and capacity building of instructors
- High rate of attrition of workforce in search of better wages
- Weak linkage of technical institutions in the State with the MSMEs
- Inadequate value addition of produces within the State
- Scope for promoting green packaging Industry was identified.
Interventions
Total budget of Rs.67 crores has been approved by the Ministry for the interventions proposed in the SIP by Chhattisgarh.
