Coimbatore MSMEs see orders moving to other districts, States

The Coimbatore region, a live msme set, has many difficulties that slow down industrial activity in sectors.

According to M. Karthikey, President of the Small Industry Association of Coimbatore Region, the credit purchases of MSMEs have declined since the last financial year. The goal of this year is almost 39,000 CRORES and the first quarter of the 2025-2026 financial year, especially for capital investments. The authority said that banks organized credit Melas to attract investments.

The main challenge is the reluctance of units to expand or invest in technology, because there is no “risk appetite .. MSME units do not want to receive new loans, they do not want to keep their businesses as a family company and they are not aware of the advantages of technology. This should change, dedi he said.

Tamil Nadu Cottage and Tiny Enterprises President J. James said that 60 % of the orders from the pump companies went to Gujarat. Orders from the automobile industry go to many centers such as Hosur and Chennai. And textile orders decreased. In addition, MSMes investing in technology cannot obtain applicable return. “High -level machines have increased productivity and we need to take more orders to maintain operations,” he said.

Mithun Ramdass, President of the Southern Indian Engineering Producers Association, said the most intense season for pump sales in April -June, and this year there was a 20 % to 30 % decrease in Coimbatore Industries’s business world. “The main reason is seasonal rains. Sales have been decreasing since last July and the last three months have been very bad,” he said.

This is the loss of labor, the number of weekly working days, and so on. “This quarter unexpectedly low. We should wait for the festival season,” he said.

The authority said that the slowdown in the orders also affects the documents.

Mr. James, MSMes’de workers who prefer to work, he added. “We can’t get workers because of the changing scenario.” He said that the central and state government should look at measures focused to revive MSMES.
