So  far 19.62 lakh units have been registered on UAM across India of which 54,269 units are registered in state of Telangana under UAM. Subsequently, on 29 July, 2016 the Ministry of MSME also notified an online MSME Data Bank wherein MSMEs feed data about their capacities, men power, details of goods  and  services  manufactured,  etc.  on  self-declaration  basis  on  www.msmedatabank.in.  This databank would help Government Departments and CPSEs in their annual procurement of goods and services  from  Micro  and  Small  Enterprises  (MSEs).    As  on  date  43,861  MSME units  have  entered their data on Data Bank including 1390 units in Telangana.

It aims to rate and handhold MSMEs to  deliver  top-quality  products  using  clean  technology.  The  units  will  be  rated  to  give rating  from  bronze,  silver,  gold,  diamond  and  platinum.  The  bronze  will  be  the  lowest rating and platinum will be the highest rating.
