Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

MSME stands for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises [1]. These enterprises are defined and governed under the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises Development (MSMED) Act of 2006. The sector is a vital component of the Indian economy, contributing approximately 30% to the country's GDP and 45% to manufacturing output [3]. In 2020, the Government of India revised the classification criteria, moving to a composite system based on investment in plant and machinery and annual turnover. Under the current definition, a 'Micro' enterprise has an investment up to ₹1 crore and turnover up to ₹5 crore; a 'Small' enterprise has an investment up to ₹10 crore and turnover up to ₹50 crore; and a 'Medium' enterprise has an investment up to ₹50 crore and turnover up to ₹250 crore [2].
