    Solution

    The Public Procurement Policy for MSEs mandates that 25% of the annual procurement by Central Ministries, Departments, and CPSEs must be sourced from MSEs. Within this 25%, 4% is reserved for MSEs owned by Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes and 3% for women-owned MSEs. This policy fosters growth and opportunities for small enterprises, as evidenced by ₹82,431 crore worth of procurement from MSEs in 2023-24, benefiting 2,36,452 MSEs.
