Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises have emerged as a highly vibrant and dynamic sector in the Indian economy after the Corona pandemic. It is a result of the continuous efforts of the government that micro, small and medium enterprises have started being established as engines of economic growth. Along with providing the base to large industries, MSMEs are also playing an important role in employment generation. The labour-intensive MSME sector employing over 10.6 crore people not only provides economic independence to the rural people but also has the potential to reduce regional imbalances for sustainable development. Government has started many schemes for the promotion of MSME sector, so that the potential of the MSME sector can be exploited to the fullest. But the distribution of MSMEs in India is very skewed. This research paper focuses on the existing diversity of MSMEs in different states and union territories. It is also to suggest the formulation of policies to reduce the spatial variation in India in the context of micro, small and medium enterprises, which will not only give economic development a boost, but the country will also be able to achieve the goal of self-reliance.
