Pointing out how Tamil Nadu government is supporting the MSMEs, Rajendra Kumar Principal Secretary, MSME Department, and Government of Tamil Nadu Stated that the state government is approving applications online. They also have a single portal for MSMEs and around 15 different departments to provide regulatory approval to their business.
