The PMMSY provides subsidies of up to 45 per cent on construction of fish ponds, paddy-cum-fish culture and aquaculture infrastructure in Arunachal Pradesh. Farmers can make applications to the State Fisheries Department with a minimum unit area of 0.25 hectare.

Rajkot is home to a large number of engineering, machining, casting, forging, and auto-component manufacturing units that support industrial supply chains across India.

For many years, wholesale grocery traders occupied an unusual position within India's MSME framework.
