MSMEs (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises) play a crucial role in the growth and development of the Indian economy. They are a source of employment for a large section of the population and contribute significantly to the GDP of the country. However, the growth of MSMEs is often hindered by a lack of access to finance. To overcome this challenge, the government has introduced several loan schemes that cater to the specific needs of MSMEs.

 

Odisha is one of the most promising states in India when it comes to MSMEs. The state government of Odisha has launched several loan schemes to support the growth of MSMEs in the state. In this article, we will discuss some of the most popular loan schemes available for MSMEs in Odisha.
