List of items reserved for exclusive manufacture in micro and small enterprises (MSMEs)

The present policy of encouraging growth of micro and small scale industries is based on several promotional measures - one of these is reservation of products for exclusive manufacture in the small scale sector in areas where there is techno-economic justification for such an approach. Large/Medium units can, however, manufacture such reserved items provided they undertake to export 50% or more of their production.

The issue of reservation/ dereservation of product is examined on a continual basis by an Advisory Committee on Reservation constituted under the I(D&R) Act 1951, which is presently headed by the Secretary (MSME) as Chairman. Other Members of the Committee are Secretary (Commerce), Secretary (IP&P), Advisor (VSI) Planning Commission with Additional Secretary & DC(MSME) as Member Secretary.
