SMEs & Informal Sector Green Strategy Mukesh Gulati Foundation for MSME Clusters New Delhi
MSMEs in India Contribute Significantly towards Exports Increased Pollution Output Employment The Hind Side: MSMEs also Contribute towards Excessive Energy Consumption Adverse social implications
11 Sectors identified as Energy Intensive out of 47 MSME Sectors
Brick Kiln
Foundry Sponge iron Leather tanning Textiles Dyes and chemicals Electroplating Brick kilns Ceramics Glass and glassware Cement Pulp and paper
One of The Identified Energy Intensive Sub-Sector: Foundry Foundry Industry Scenario India: 5,500 foundries: Clustered in 47 clusters ranging from 30-500 units. India is placed globally at no. 3 after China followed and United States.(46,200,000-China, 11,997,430-US, 10,021,000-Ind) 85% of the foundry units are small; 15% are medium/large units Northern India has about 1,100 foundry units Energy cost is 30% of production cost (70% in melting) through coke, furnace oil, natural gas and electricity

Lack of consultants willing to work with MSMEs A Question arises Why does it not self spread when business case exists? Reasons No incentive for contractual labor Technology acceptanc e barrier Bank Linkages Costly technology Investment barrier Awareness Barrier Weak associations Untrained fabricators
Small Changes in Practices Leads to Big Outcomes Measurements Skills Local Team Local Fabricators BMOs to promote
MSMEs are willing to adopt OHS and Social Measures - Business to Non Business Cases Business Cases Small activities providing low hanging fruits Institutionalization Non Business Cases Less Business Cases
Strengthening Policy through Convergence and Coordination Design and Implement Integrated National Programmes: Sectoral Focus Design and Cluster Focus Implementation Building capacities of Existing and New BMOs and all relevant local stakeholders to empower their members to implement Sustainable Production
Multi Stakeholder Collaboration Funding Government CSR Funds Implementation Development Organizations Support &Outreach Sustainable Development of MSMEs in India BMOs and Local BDS
What can be done in these enterprises in Clusters? Better Designed Products: Product innovation is very limited across most sub-sectors Improved production methods: Several pilot initiatives in the past that need to be up scaled Waste Management: Mainly undertaken as end-ofpipe treatment under the pressure of regulatory authorities, media and community
Way forward - Up scaling National study of industrial symbiosis needed at cluster level Create new financial products and ensure reach out with innovative channels
