Indian sectors and often engaged in manufacturing and export activities — two key
drivers of the Indian economy.

• Today, almost all MSMEs are out of action due to the lockdown, chocking all
production activities at major firms across sectors. There are several reports that
indicate how MSMEs are reeling under crisis and have no money to pay their
employees, complete pending orders or pay their suppliers.

• The MSME sector, which contributes to over 30 per cent of India’s GDP and from
leaders to experts and industry bodies, everyone has appealed the government to
increase its relief package.
