Breaking!! @Meta building its first AI-enabled data center in India, in partnership with Reliance, is a big moment for India's MSMEs.
World-class infrastructure at home means faster, more affordable digital access for small businesses going digital. A testament to the government's vision of empowering MSMEs through Digital India. Congratulations to all involved!

The India SME Forum welcomes the Cabinet’s approval of ECLGS5, reflecting the Government’s continued commitment to the needs of MSMEs in a challenging global environment.

This timely intervention will unlock significant credit flows, ease working capital pressures, and help sustain operations and employment across the sector.

We highly appreciate the Modi Government’s proactive approach in using credit guarantees as an effective counter-cyclical tool.

The ECLGS 5 with an outlay of ₹18,100 crore and a potential credit support of up to ₹2.55 lakh crore, clearly reflects the Government’s agility in responding to the evolving needs of MSMEs.

The provision of 100% guarantee cover, waiver of guarantee fees, and moratorium on principal repayment will reinforce confidence among lenders and MSME borrowers alike.

[Vinod Kumar @VKwuthoo]

Thank you from 12.37 million MSMEs for this fast action. Definitely resonates with and reflects the commitment of the @narendramodi Government towards MSMEs and Workers.

On behalf of the India SME Forum, our Director General, Ms Sushma Morthania (@SushmaMorthania), felicitated Shri Sanjay Malhotra(@GovSMalhotra), Hon'ble Governor RBI to show our sincere appreciation for his prudent and stability-oriented leadership of the Reserve Bank of India - marked by a firm commitment to inflation anchoring, calibrated liquidity management, strengthened supervisory oversight, and deepening of digital financial infrastructure which has reinforced macroeconomic confidence and financial system resilience.

For MSMEs, this stability is foundational. It ensures predictability in input costs, improves export competitiveness, strengthens investor sentiment, and fosters long-term sustainability.
