<h1>Indian MSMEs Struggle Against Cheap Chinese Imports; Government Imposes Duties and Launches Schemes to Boost Competitiveness.</h1> Indian Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are struggling against competition from inexpensive Chinese imports, which have significantly increased from 2011-12 to 2014-15. These imports, primarily in the electrical, electronics, mechanical, metallurgical, chemical, glass, and ceramics sectors, constituted 74% of India's total imports from China in 2014-15, impacting MSMEs adversely. The Indian government has imposed anti-dumping and safeguard duties to protect domestic industries. Additionally, various schemes like the National Manufacturing Competitiveness Programme and Credit Guarantee Scheme are being implemented to enhance the competitiveness of MSMEs against Chinese imports. This information was disclosed by the Union Minister for MSMEs in a Lok Sabha session.
