• Most distributors in the western region expect sales to increase on-year this fiscal because of more red and orange zones in the region, which
has seen a surge in demand
• Distributors operating in the red and orange zones also more optimistic on sales growth in fiscal 2022 compared with those in the green zone
because of sustained higher demand
- However, distributors in the red zone expect higher impact on cost owing to supply-side constraints
• Micro enterprises expect better sales growth in fiscal 2021 compared with small enterprises

Drivers for credit growth Challenges for credit growth

Incremental working capital requirement Lack of demand for new/capex funding requirement

Pent-up demand in local markets and for local brands Low recovery sentiment in unorganised sectors

Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme Lack of client connect owing to lockdown

Untapped rural/semi-urban areas, sectors with


non-discretionary demand Lack of demand or revenue growth visibility

Relatively safer short-term trade/supply chain funding Severely impacted cash flows of MSMEs

Long-term impact on performance of MSMEs
 15-20% of MSMEs may not be able to survive the economic slowdown
 Micro units across sectors to be impacted the most
 MSME definition change to bring more players into the category, resulting in smaller ones receiving less benefits
 Sectors with high dependence on migrant labour to be severely impacted

Short-term opportunities for MSMEs


 Average sales volume at neighbourhood groceries/ pharmacies has increased dramatically
 Shift in business model: Producing masks/ hand sanitisers/ disinfectants, dealing in thermal screening equipment, etc. Definition of essentials is
undergoing a change
 Digital-oriented education services, selling via online platforms through digital transactions has increased
