In a landmark move aimed at empowering small and medium enterprises, the Karnataka government is set to introduce its first dedicated MSME policy. This Karnataka MSME policy will mark a significant shift in the state's industrial approach, offering structured support to the MSME sector, which plays a vital role in employment generation and economic development.
The Industries and Commerce Department of Karnataka, through the Karnataka Council for Technological Upgradation (KCTU), has floated a tender to hire a consultant who will draft the policy. The consultant will study and benchmark Karnataka’s MSME development model against top-performing states such as Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana—all of which have successfully implemented growth-driven strategies for their MSME ecosystems.
The upcoming MSME policy 2025 will offer a range of incentives, concessions, and institutional support mechanisms. These are designed to improve access to finance, simplify regulatory compliance, and provide infrastructure support to small businesses. The policy aims to promote innovation, digital transformation, and market linkages—key elements for scaling micro and small enterprises.
