NSIC reports strong financial growth with a revenue of Rs 3,767 crore and presents a dividend of Rs 47.76 crore to the MSME Ministry.
The National Small Industries Corporation Limited (NSIC) has demonstrated its financial prowess by presenting a dividend of Rs 47.76 crore for the financial year 2025–26. The dividend was presented by NSIC Chairman-cum-Managing Director Subhransu Sekhar Acharya to Union Minister for MSME Jitan Ram Manjhi and Minister of State for MSME Sushri Shobha Karandlaje in New Delhi.
The ceremony, which took place on October 28, 2026, was attended by Secretary Bharat Khera along with other senior officials from the Ministry and NSIC. The presentation marks a significant milestone for the Schedule ‘A’ Mini Ratna Company, underscoring its stability and growth trajectory.
Robust Financial Growth and Performance
During the presentation, CMD Subhransu Sekhar Acharya detailed the corporation's impressive financial health. The NSIC reported a substantial revenue of Rs 3,767 crore, while its Profit After Tax (PAT) stood at Rs 159 crore. This performance represents a robust increase compared to the previous financial year.
According to the corporation, these figures are a testament to effective management and a steadfast commitment to enhancing the competitiveness and growth of the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector in India.
Empowering the MSME Ecosystem
Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi praised the NSIC for its dedication to empowering smaller enterprises. He highlighted the corporation's success in implementing various government initiatives and providing integrated support services that help micro and small enterprises thrive.
The leadership expressed strong confidence in NSIC's ongoing role in:
- Promoting entrepreneurship and the creation of new enterprises.
- Driving skill development across the country.
- Strengthening the overall MSME ecosystem to advance the vision of an inclusive and Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
Established to provide critical support, NSIC continues to offer a comprehensive suite of services encompassing finance, technology, and marketing to ensure that smaller businesses have the tools necessary to scale.
Broader Horizons: Global Partnerships and Market Sentiment
While NSIC celebrates its internal success, the Indian MSME sector is also looking toward international expansion. Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal recently suggested that India and the Netherlands might establish a dedicated mechanism to connect MSMEs from both nations. Speaking at the India-Netherlands Business Forum in The Hague, Goyal noted that while large firms have established networks, smaller businesses often struggle to find international partners. He proposed a "bridge" to facilitate these business partnerships.
Resilience in the Face of Challenges
The positive momentum is further mirrored in a recent survey by the Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI). Despite the pressure of rising input costs, Indian MSMEs remain optimistic about the coming quarters. The report indicates that business sentiment is particularly strong in the manufacturing sector, with overall confidence levels remaining well above the neutral mark of 50, signaling a resilient ecosystem across all three sectors.
