## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR MICRO, SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES (SUSHRI SHOBHA KARANDLAJE)

(a) to (g): The revised definition of MSMEs, based on the twin criteria of investment and turnover, was  adopted  in  2020  and  Notification  S.O.  2119(E)  dated  26.06.2020  was  issued.  To  facilitate  the enterprises  in  line  with  Ease  of  doing  Businesses,  Udyam  Registration  Portal  was  launched  for registration of an enterprise on 01.07.2020. Udyam registration process is voluntary, fully online, free, paperless  and  based  on  self-declaration.  No  documents  or  proof  are  required  to  be  uploaded  for registering  on  Udyam  Registration  Portal.  The  process  is  fully  automated  and  there  is  no  human intervention involved at the end of the Ministry.

The Udyam Registration is not a scheme. It is a free digital platform designed to facilitate a simple and seamless registration process to MSMEs across the country. Hence, no state wise fund is allocated for Udyam Registration Portal.

Since inception on 01.07.2020 and as of 25.01.2026 total 7.55 crore MSMEs with a reported employment of 33.34 crore have registered on Udyam Portal.

The  sector  wise  details  of  MSMEs  including  in  the  state  of  Maharashtra,  on  Udyam  Portal, since the launch of Udyam Portal till 25.01.2026 are given at Annexure I.

The MSME classification framework provides for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises under the  MSME  Development  Act,  2006.  As  notified  vide  Gazette  S.O.  1296(E)  dated  20.03.2023,  the Informal  Micro  Enterprises  registered  on  the  Udyam  Assist  Platform  are  treated  at  par  with  Udyam Registration  for  availing  Priority  Sector  Lending  benefits.  Further,  first-generation  entrepreneurs, including  in  rural  and  semi-urban  areas,  are  supported  through  schemes  such  as  PMEGP,  Credit Guarantee Scheme and other MSME facilitation programmes.

(h): As per the information received from Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Mumbai, MSME classification is not captured in any of the exchange. However, the number of SMEs listed on stock  exchange  as  on  27.01.2026  in  terms  of  SEBI  (Issue  of  Capital  and  Disclosure  Requirements (ICDR) Regulations is detailed below:

| Name of the Stock Exchange   |   Number of SMEs listed on the Stock Exchange |
|------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|
| BSE                          |                                           498 |
| NSE                          |                                           544 |

(i): MSME-Sustainable  (ZED)  Certification  Scheme  was  launched  on  28.04.2022.  The  ZED Certification envisages promotion of Zero Defect Zero Effect (ZED) practices amongst MSMEs so as to:

-  Encourage  and  enable  MSMEs  for  manufacturing  of  quality  products  using  latest  technology, tools  and  to  constantly  upgrade  their  processes  for  achievement  of  high  quality  and  high productivity with the least effect on the environment
-  Develop an Ecosystem for ZED Manufacturing in MSMEs, for enhancing competitiveness and enabling exports
-  Promote adoption of ZED practices and recognising the efforts of successful MSMEs
-  Increase  public  awareness  on  demanding  Zero  Defect  and  Zero  Effect  products  through  the MSME Sustainable (ZED) Certification
-  Encourage MSMEs to achieve higher ZED Certification levels through graded incentives
-  Identify  areas  to  improve  upon,  thereby  assisting  the  Government  in  policy  decisions  and investment prioritization
-  Support  of  up-to  Rs.  3  lakhs  is  being  provided  to  ZED  certified  MSMEs  for  Technology Upgradation for Zero Effect Solutions.
