Gujarat govt transfers Rs 1,349.50 crore to 11,029 industrial beneficiaries in a single e-payment drive, boosting transparency and speed under Deputy CM Harsh Sanghavi.

"Efforts have been made to make the process more efficient, simple and technology-driven so that beneficiaries of various industrial and MSME schemes receive timely assistance. - Harsh Sanghavi"

Gandhinagar, April 30

The Gujarat government on Thursday disbursed Rs 1,349.50 crore to 11,029 beneficiaries across industrial sectors through a single digital transaction, as part of efforts to improve the speed and transparency of financial assistance.

The transfer was carried out under the "Single Click Payment Programme" organised at the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference (VGRC) in Surat, in the presence of Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi.

The initiative, led by the state's Industries and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Department, aims to ensure timely delivery of support to beneficiaries through a streamlined and technology-driven process.

According to official details, Rs 299.75 crore was disbursed to 7,495 beneficiaries under various MSME schemes, while Rs 538.76 crore was provided to 3,423 beneficiaries under textile schemes.

In addition, Rs 510.99 crore was allocated to 111 beneficiaries in the large industries category.

The entire amount was transferred directly into bank accounts via e-payment in a single instance.

Sanghavi said the programme reflects ongoing efforts to simplify procedures and strengthen efficiency in the disbursal system.

"Efforts have been made to make the process more efficient, simple and technology-driven so that beneficiaries of various industrial and MSME schemes receive timely assistance," he said.

He added that such measures are being implemented under the guidance of Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, with a focus on improving administrative processes linked to industrial support schemes.

The government said the initiative forms part of its broader approach to promote industrial development, encourage investment, expand production and generate employment in the state.

It also noted that multiple incentive schemes are being implemented to strengthen the MSME sector.

The VGRC-South Gujarat will take place on May 1 and 2 at AURO University in Surat, focusing on Gujarat's industrial advancement and infrastructure development.

Alongside the conference, a Vibrant Gujarat Regional Exhibition will run from May 1 to 5, incorporating a vendor development programme and an international reverse buyer-seller meet designed to facilitate direct engagement between local businesses and overseas buyers.

Officials said the platform will also support structured discussions on sectoral challenges and investment opportunities, with outcomes expected to be carried forward to the next Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit.

Great initiative but let's not forget the ground reality. Many small businesses still struggle with paperwork and registration. Hope the government also simplifies those processes. Digital disbursement is only half the battle won.

11,029 beneficiaries in one go? That's impressive. But Rs 1,349 crore for Gujarat while other states struggle is a classic example of uneven development. Need to replicate this model pan-India for real impact.

As someone who works with MSMEs in the US, I can tell you this is how it should be done anywhere. Direct bank transfer cuts out corruption and delays. India is leapfrogging traditional bureaucracies with tech. Well done, Gujarat.

Vibrant Gujarat is a brilliant platform. But let's be honest – these subsidies help the big players more than the tiny shopkeeper that MSME schemes claim to target. 111 large industries got Rs 510 crore while 7,495 small ones got only Rs 299 crore. Math doesn't lie. 🧮

Single click payment sounds like something from a sci-fi movie. When I think about the days my father had to run from pillar to post for a small loan, this feels like a miracle. Technology is truly empowering for people like us. 🙏
