SME Report 2018

Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) lending of over Rs 15 trillion, accounted for around 22% of corporate lending in India as of fiscal 2018. The segment continues to offer attractive business opportunities for financiers, especially with the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime in place. The challenge lies in spotting the sectors and clusters that are likely to offer the desired risk-adjusted returns. And that entails tracking the performance and riskiness of sectors and clusters on a timely basis.

  • Insights and outlook on business and financial prospects across sectors and clusters
  • Industry and cluster attractiveness matrices to differentiate between sectors and clusters

  • A database of ~7,000 SMEs, along with key financial ratios of ~6,000 of these
  • A six-month monitoring mechanism for SME sectors and clusters
  • Views on asset quality sector-wise and cluster-wise
