IndusInd Bank has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the National Small Industries Corporation (NSIC), a Government of India enterprise under the Ministry of MSME, to strengthen financial access for micro, small and medium enterprises across the country.

The strategic collaboration aims to accelerate credit delivery and extend comprehensive financial support to over 67 million Udyam-registered MSMEs. The MoU was signed in New Delhi in the presence of Union MSME Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi, Secretary S.C.L. Das, Joint Secretary Mercy Epao, NSIC CMD Dr. Subhransu Sekhar Acharya, Director of Finance Gaurav Gulati, and senior NSIC officials.

By combining NSIC’s trusted ecosystem with IndusInd Bank’s financial expertise and digital capabilities, the collaboration seeks to bridge credit gaps, enable MSMEs to participate more effectively in larger markets, and support the government’s vision of self-reliance and inclusive economic progress.
