Some of the broad areas identified for support were design innovations, quality and process control, automobile components, electrical appliances, process pumps, energy efficient motors with unconventional design, neo-classical model wet grinders, metal utensils, modern agricultural implement, engineering manufacturing, aero space industries and special purpose machinery. Successful entrepreneurs here would act as mentors for these projects.About 40 per cent of the country’s exports and 44 per cent of manufacturing turnover were from MSMEs.
