According to the Confederation of Indian Industry, MSMEs contribute 6.11 per cent to the manufacturing GDP, 24.63 per cent to the GDP from service activities, and 33.4 per cent to India's manufacturing output. Despite its huge contribution, the sector is considered laid back. 

The MSMEs in India often face a cash flow disturbance due to various factors like non-availability of funds, post-dated cheques, late payments, and many more.
