(a): Under  Micro and  Small  Enterprises  -  Cluster  Development  Programme  (MSE-CDP), setting up of Common Facility Centre (CFC) in a cluster is supported. MSE-CDP is a demand driven  scheme. Under the scheme, 24 projects of CFCs in various clusters (including 04 in Maharashtra) have been developed all over country during the last three years and the current year [i.e. financial year 2019-20 to 2022-23 (till 31.01.2023)]. The State/UT-wise details are enclosed (Annexure-I).

(b) & (c): The details for the clusters of Maharashtra are enclosed (Annexure-II).

- (d) & (e): The  Programme  aims  at  enhancing  the  sustainability,  competitiveness  and growth  of  MSEs  in  a  cluster  by  addressing  common  issues  such  as  improvement  of technology, skills, quality and market access etc. In MSE-CDP, a cluster is defined as 'a group of enterprises located within an identifiable and contiguous area (to a large extent) or a value chain that may go beyond a geographical area and producing same/ similar products/complementary products/services, which can be linked together by common physical infrastructure facilities'. It must address their common challenges, which is the core reason to take up the project under this scheme.

The  Ministry  of  MSME  is  also  implementing  Scheme  of  Fund  for  Regeneration  of Traditional  Industries  (SFURTI)  for  organizing  the  Traditional  Industries  and  artisans  into clusters to provide support for their long-term sustainability and economies of scale.
