MSME department to resume online land allotment in 2025


The Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) department is expected to resume the online land allocation process for industries by early 2025, following a major overhaul of its portal and permission mechanisms. The department had halted the process in late June 2024 due to technical issues.

MSME Commissioner Dr Navneet Mohan Kothari stated that the revamped system will offer a more seamless and transparent land allocation process, incorporating both basic and advanced procedures for a better user experience.

The department had issued a directive on July 31, 2024, to cancel applications for undeveloped land allotment, as technical glitches prevented the completion of the process. Regional offices across districts have been tasked with gathering detailed information about land availability and industry requirements.

Yogesh Mehta, President, Association of Industries Madhya Pradesh (AIMP), emphasised the impact of the suspension, as many industries have delayed expansion plans. He urged the state government to prioritise the portal’s launch to support new investments and business growth.
