Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), officially classified as Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in India, form the backbone of the national economy, contributing significantly to Gross Value Added (GVA), exports, and employment generation. This research paper provides a comprehensive, data-backed examination of SMEs’ multifaceted roles in fostering equitable, resilient, and innovative economic development. Drawing on official data, academic literature, and policy analyses from FY 2020–21 to FY 2024–25, the study investigates SMEs’ economic contributions, inclusive and regional development impact, innovation and technology adoption, government support mechanisms, and the sector’s key challenges. The discussion integrates a five-year trend analysis of flagship schemes such as Udyam Registration, CGTMSE, SIDBI interventions, PMEGP, ZED certification, and KVIC’s grassroots initiatives. Findings highlight SMEs’ strategic importance in achieving India’s Viksit Bharat @2047 vision, while underlining the need for sustained policy stability, digital integration, financial inclusion, and ecosystem collaboration. The paper concludes with targeted recommendations to bridge the gap between potential and realized capacity, positioning SMEs as forward-driving agents of India’s economic transformation.
