2. SIDBI: Background
2
• Set up by an Act of Parliament in April 1990.
• Development Finance Institution (DFI)
Mandate
Promotion, financing and development of MSMEs and to co-
ordinate the functions of institutions serving the sector.
Small Industries Development Bank of
India (SIDBI)
3. 63 Million MSMEs
Employment - 111 Mn people
2nd largest employer after
agriculture.
Value addition to economy:
45% of total manufacturing output,
30% contribution to GDP,
>8000 products manufactured,
40% of total exports.
MSMEs – Backbone of Indian Economy
o High operational inefficiency
o Technology obsolescence
o Resource intensive
o Low profit margins
o Low technical capabilities
o Lack of awareness amongst
MSMEs
MSMEs consume ~25% of total
industrial energy consumption.
4. Typical Indian MSMEs
Dusty filters
Improper fuel
storage Open heating
Improper refractory Improper Insulation Incomplete
combustion
Savings potential of upto 30% in energy & resources costs
5. SIDBI’s initiatives for Sustainable Development in MSMEs
• Introduced schemes for financing Energy Efficiency (EE) & Cleaner Production
projects in MSME sector.
• Entered into strategic partnership with BEE, TIFAC, The World Bank, DFID, JICA, KfW,
GIZ & AFD for promoting & financing clean & EE investments in MSME sector.
• Created a dedicated team of experts housed at “Energy Efficiency Centre (now called
Green Climate & Sustainable Development Initiatives)” for focused approach.
• Conducted awareness campaigns, focused group meetings, energy audits, pilot
interventions in MSME clusters.
