Abstract: This paper begins by revisiting the Seoul and Bologna Charters on the SMEs and clarifies that the SME definition centres round the small scale industries in the absence of a clearly defined medium industry sector in India. A review of the policy, laws and the regulatory and institutional framework has been done in sufficient detail with a view to highlighting the fact that the SSIS in India require globally compatible facilitation in order to be competitive both domestically and internationally. The author maintains that easy and adequate institutional finance support is a necessary but not sufficient condition for the growth of this dynamic and vibrant sector. He envisages a clear role for the Small Industry Associations recognized on the basis of well-defined criteria. He argues for a quick enactment of a comprehensive enabling law for the sector and for restructuring the office of the DC-SSI, to attain the envisaged competitiveness.
