In a recent public address, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin asserted that the DMK government has nearly doubled the allocation for the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector in the state compared to the entire 10-year term of the previous AIADMK government.
Speaking at a state-level MSME investors’ summit, CM Stalin highlighted the administration’s commitment to fostering a business-friendly environment and promoting inclusive industrial growth in Tamil Nadu.
DMK’s Focus on MSME Growth
Since assuming office in 2021, the DMK-led government has made MSME sector development a strategic priority. Key initiatives include:
Increased financial allocation to enhance infrastructure and support services.
Implementation of Single Window Clearance systems for faster approvals.
Skill development and training programs targeting rural entrepreneurs and women.
Special incentives for MSMEs in Tier-II and Tier-III cities.
According to official data, the total MSME allocation during the DMK’s current tenure is already approaching twice the amount spent under the AIADMK regime between 2011 and 2021.
Investment & Job Creation on the Rise
The MSME sector in Tamil Nadu contributes significantly to employment and exports. Under the DMK government:
Over 6 lakh new MSMEs have reportedly been registered.
An estimated 13 lakh new jobs have been created in the sector.
Government policies have attracted investment pledges worth thousands of crores, aimed at industrial parks, cluster development, and technology upgrades.
CM Stalin emphasized that this surge reflects the confidence investors and entrepreneurs have in the state’s policies and governance.
