MIHAN is one of the largest SEZ in India and yet it is taking time to establish the small and medium industries in that area, he observed. Parlewar was instrumental in submitting the concept paper on the basis of which the Central government and Ministry of Commerce approved to reserve 10 per cent land in each SEZ for MSMEs sector which will have significant impact on boosting export through SEZs from MSME sector.
He informed that MSME is committed to establish export facilitation cell (EFC) in each MSME-DI all over country with single window facility. EFC will provide support to micro and small enterprises to establish unit and run it in SEZ as hiring consultant where CAs will play a vital role.
