THE Ministry of Industry and MSME Development is facilitating land-use permits, land grants and industrial operating permits for MSME entrepreneurs who submit applications for land.

A ministry official said that local agencies were coordinating with officials from the General Administration Department and the Department of Agricultural Land Management and Statistics to help MSME entrepreneurs obtain the necessary landuse rights and permits in accordance with relevant laws and procedures.

Regarding electricity supply, relevant departmental officials are working with MSME agencies in regions and states to facilitate access to electricity for factories and workshops, as well as applications for transformer installation.

MSME entrepreneurs facing electricity shortages are also being provided with technical and financial assistance through relevant agencies to install and use solar power systems.

To expand market access, MSME product competitions, exhibitions and sales festivals are organized at the Union, regional and state, and district levels. An e-marketplace platform has also been established to enable MSMEs to showcase and sell their products and establish market linkages. — ASH/KZL
