MSME sector will battle second COVID wave with great resilience: Nitin Gadkari
Apr-16-2021

Amid rising COVID-19 cases in the country, Union minister Nitin Gadkari has said that India tackled the first wave of the pandemic with great resilience and came out with strong growth projections. He expressed confidence that the MSME sector will battle the second wave with same conviction and lead India to a growth trajectory.

Union minister further noted that with the global supply chain undergoing significant restructuring, and countries looking to diversify their supply out of China, India's MSMEs have a great opportunity of being integrated in the global supply chain. He also pointed out that the adoption of technology coupled with right input and maintaining quality will define the long-term success of this sector.

Besides, the Union minister said that with time it has become increasingly clear that technology will be a very critical factor in defining success and competitiveness of Indian MSMEs both domestically as well as globally in coming days. He said that e-commerce has enabled small and marginal sellers expand their outreach not only nationally but also globally, adding that digitising millions of MSMEs should be the top priority.
