Special registration scheme for services sector soon

The National Small Industries Corporation (NSIC) is planning to soon launch a Special Registration Scheme exclusively for the services sector so that the non-manufacturing sector can also supply to PSUs on the lines of MSMEs, a top official said today.
The scheme would be launched very soon, NSIC Director (Planning and Marketing) P Udayakumar said in his address at the concluding day of five-day Industrial Fair 'Intec 2015' organised by Coimbatore District Small Industries Association (CODISSIA).
The turnover of the corporation had crossed Rs 20,000 crore in 2014-15 fiscal, he said, adding that NSIC has set a target of Rs 24,000 crore for this year.

The corporation has also started a free of cost e-commerce portal for the benefit of MSMEs, particularly for marketing, so that they can reach out to entire world by displaying their products online, Udayakumar said.
