As per the report of ASUSE 2023-24 conducted during October, 2023 September,  2024,  the  total  number  of  surveyed  establishments  in ASUSE 2023-24 was 4,98,024. The estimated number of establishments in the unincorporated non-agricultural sector is 7,33,99,476 during October, 2023 - September, 2024.

The Government initiatives like Mudra Yojana and Startup India have played a pivotal role in supporting the growth of unorganized enterprises in India. However, their impact is not assessed in ASUSE.

The  State-wise  estimated  number  of  establishments  and  workers  in the unincorporated non-agricultural sector according to the reports of ASUSE 2022-23 and ASUSE 2023-24 are given in Annexure.
