Sarangi said, “Haryana has signed MOUs with global e-commerce players to increase the MSME footprint in the state.”

Dushyant said the state was home to several industries and it was looking forward to welcoming more units.

“In light of the Covid pandemic, the state government has provided MSMEs with relaxation and special rebate for establishing liquid oxygen plants. Manufacturing industries related to healthcare have been given Rs 500 crore,” said the Deputy Chief Minister.

Assocham president Vineet Agarwal said, “MSMEs are going through a tough time. The cost of raw materials has increased. Payments have been delayed, badly impacting the sector.”
