Mumbai, Nov. 28 -- The World Trade Center (WTC) Mumbai convened representatives from leading Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) associations for a roundtable discussion with senior government officials to address regulatory challenges and explore measures to improve the ease of doing business.

Participants discussed persistent compliance hurdles, regulatory overlaps, and the need for streamlined processes to support MSMEs as India aims to raise manufacturing's contribution to GDP from 15 percent to 25 percent under the Viksit Bharat vision.

Several associations highlighted procedural hurdles, including the need to obtain fresh permissions when jurisdiction shifts between authorities, despite decades of operations.
