Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami announced that more than 29,000 micro, small and medium enterprises have been set up in Uttarakhand, reflecting a boost in the state's entrepreneurial landscape.
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami told reporters that Uttarakhand has witnessed the establishment of over 29,000 new micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The figure, released during a recent press briefing, underscores a significant expansion of the state's small‑business ecosystem.
The CM highlighted that the surge in MSME registrations is a direct outcome of ongoing government initiatives aimed at simplifying licensing, improving access to credit and fostering a supportive environment for entrepreneurs. He noted that these enterprises span sectors such as tourism, handicrafts, agro‑processing and renewable energy.
While the announcement did not disclose detailed employment data, officials indicated that the new MSMEs are expected to generate substantial job opportunities, especially in rural and semi‑urban areas. The government plans to monitor the growth trajectory and provide further assistance to sustain the momentum.
Uttarakhand's administration views the MSME expansion as a cornerstone of its broader economic development strategy, seeking to diversify the state's revenue base beyond traditional sectors.
The CM concluded by urging existing and prospective entrepreneurs to leverage the state's policy framework and contribute to the region's inclusive growth.
