FAQ :
Procurement from and payments to Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) by Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) have risen phenomenally, nearly two and a half times, in the last six months.
Procurement and payments rose from about £2300 crore in May 2020 to about £5000 crore in October 2020.
The ratio of monthly payments to MSEs increased from about 76% in May to about 80% in October, while the ratio of monthly pendency of payment decreased from about 24% to about 20% during the same period.
Initiatives like the Prime Minister's calls for 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' and 'Vocal for Local', along with the Finance Minister's announcement to pay MSME dues within 45 days, have been significant triggers.
The Ministry of MSME has actively engaged stakeholders through letters, personal discussions, and the development of an online reporting format on the Samadhan portal for CPSEs to report procurement and payment details.
The increased business and timely payments indicate improved liquidity for both CPSEs and MSEs, reflecting proactive government policies and sustained efforts by the MSME Ministry.
