Financial and Policy Support for MSME Engineering Support in India

For a long time now, engineering has been the backbone of industrial evolution and export growth in India. Specific to that, more than 95% of the engineering units in India are MSMEs, and these have played an irreplaceable role in terms of innovations, employment, and foreign exchange through exports. However, with the increasing global trade uncertainties, major economies such as the U.S. making policy shifts, and the regulators changing their landscape from time to time, the call for solid finances and policy measures for MSMEs in this sector has never been louder than now.

Why MSMEs Matter Engineering

For nearly 40% of engineering in India, MSMEs generate exports. Machines, auto components, medical instruments, and renewable energy equipment are some of the industrial machineries produced. However, such enterprises usually suffer challenges such as funds bottlenecks, limited market access, and high compliance burdens. Institutional support and proactive policies play a significant role in overcoming these hurdles.

EEPC India Empowering MSMEs

The Engineering Export Promotion Council (EEPC) of India – a premier trade and investment promotion organization – has been instrumental in carrying out the above efforts through MS’s reputed trade delegations, exhibitions, and, most importantly, voicing MSME issues across the policy corridors.

Key Policy & Regulatory Changes in 2025

1. Rationalization of FEMA Guidelines by RBI

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has proposed sweeping changes to the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) regulations to simplify cross-border trade for MSMEs:

Policy ElementEarlier FrameworkProposed Change
Export Realization Period15 months (for warehousing abroad)Reduced to 9 months
Export DeclarationMultiple FormsUnified Export Declaration Form (EDF)
Self-Write-offAllowed for status holdersDiscontinued
Bank DiscretionLimitedExpanded with internal board-approved policies

These changes are aimed at reducing red tape and empowering banks to act as facilitators rather than mere compliance agents. MSMEs now need to align with banks’ internal policies for export-import documentation, settlements, and dispute resolutions.

2. Market Diversification & Global Presence

With protectionist policies like the U.S. Section 232 Tariffs returning in 2025, MSMEs must actively explore alternative markets. EEPC India is facilitating Indian MSMEs’ participation in global expos like Hannover Messe (Germany), Middle East Energy (Dubai), and more.

3. Financial Support Mechanisms

  • Credit Guarantee Scheme:

Government-backed credit guarantee through CGTMSE ensures collateral-free credit to MSMEs up to ₹5 crores.

  • Interest Subvention Schemes:

Engineering MSMEs are eligible for 3-5% interest subvention under various export-linked schemes.

  • Trade Receivables Discounting System (TReDS):

TReDS platforms allow MSMEs to discount their invoices and receive faster payments from large buyers and PSUs.

4. Impact of U.S. Section 232 Tariffs

  • India’s engineering exports to the U.S. are facing new challenges due to tariff hikes. Here’s a snapshot:
  • India’s steel and aluminium exports to the USA dropped 27% and 25.6% respectively in 2023 due to tariff hikes (Source: EEPC India)
  • This necessitates urgent diplomatic negotiations for exclusions and diversification to newer markets.

5. Digital Transformation & Ease of Doing Business

RBI’s shift toward digitized trade and the introduction of eCoO 2.0 (Electronic Certificate of Origin) aims to empower MSMEs digitally. The unified export-import documentation under FEMA will bring goods and services on equal footing, reducing costs and delays for MSMEs.
