Tamil Nadu's Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Department runs state subsidy, loan and incentive schemes for micro, small and medium enterprises and for people who want to start one. The department's pages do not always agree on the details, so confirm the terms of any scheme with the department before you apply.

How its schemes work

The department runs each scheme separately, with its own page and its own rules. The New Entrepreneur-cum-Enterprise Development Scheme, known as NEEDS, supports first-generation entrepreneurs who set up a new manufacturing or service venture. It runs under a state government order issued in October 2012 and includes entrepreneur training, help with a business plan and support in connecting with financial institutions.

The Annal Ambedkar Business Champions Scheme gives SC and ST entrepreneurs a capital subsidy and an interest subvention on loans for machinery and equipment. It covers new enterprises as well as the expansion of existing ones. The Tamil Nadu Women Entrepreneurs Empowerment Scheme, TWEES, offers bank loans with a subsidy on the loan, along with skill development training and marketing guidance, to women who want to become entrepreneurs. The Kalaignar Kaivinai Thittam, KKT, supports traditional artisans and skilled craftspeople with loans, skill development and help to improve their livelihoods.

The Unemployed Youth Employment Generation Programme, UYEGP, helps unemployed youth, particularly educated youth from socially and economically weaker sections, become self-employed through new business enterprises. The department's homepage describes it as a state scheme that combines a bank loan with state government subsidy assistance. Its UYEGP page says applicants should apply under the PMEGP scheme instead. The two pages give different routes, and the department does not say which one a new applicant should use.

The department also publishes a category-wise list of MSME incentives for the current financial year. The categories it names include capital subsidy, low tension power tariff subsidy, genset subsidy, energy audit and implementation incentives under the PEACE scheme, quality certification reimbursement, stamp duty charges, patent and trade mark costs, geographical indications, payroll subsidy and an SME Exchange category. Eligibility and amounts differ by category, and this page does not set them out.

Who can apply

Eligibility depends on the scheme. NEEDS is for first-generation entrepreneurs. The Annal Ambedkar scheme is for SC and ST entrepreneurs who live in Tamil Nadu and are within the scheme's age limit of 55 years. UYEGP is for unemployed youth from socially and economically weaker sections, particularly educated youth. TWEES is for women entrepreneurs in Tamil Nadu, and its pages do not set out further conditions. KKT is for traditional artisans and skilled craftspeople. The incentives list is for micro, small and medium enterprises in the state.

Scale, as the department reports it

The department publishes figures for each scheme for the current financial year, which is still running. These are the department's own counts, not audited results, and they measure applications and approvals rather than outcomes.

For the incentives list, the department reports 2,061 applications received and 297 sanctioned, with an average of 128 days taken for sanction. For NEEDS it reports 1,539 applications received, 467 sanctioned, and an average of 86 days for subsidy approval. UYEGP shows 4,215 applications received and 1,138 subsidies disbursed. The Annal Ambedkar scheme shows 5,508 applications received and 1,123 subsidies disbursed. TWEES shows 10,870 applications received and 1,636 subsidies disbursed. KKT shows 1,830 applications received and 499 loans disbursed.

Who runs it

The site's footer names the body as the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Department of the Government of Tamil Nadu. Its contact pages name the Department of Industries and Commerce instead. The two names appear on different pages, and the site does not explain how they relate.

The department says it collects no fee for the services it renders, and that it offers a single-window mechanism for approvals.

Locations

The contact pages give the office as the SIDCO Corporate Office Building, Guindy Industrial Estate, Chennai 600 032. The department says its District Industries Centres operate in every district.
