The study says “with the TS-iPass scheme expediting clearances of projects, the count of projects that went under implementation witnessed a spike. In the 7 years from 2014-15 to 2020-21, 1124 projects were granted clearances that helped them move to the under implementation phase, the 7 years prior to this period had 831 projects in the pipeline. Even in terms of the value of projects there has been a 94 per cent increase.
Mr Rawat further said, providing timely project clearances and approvals, the ratio of projects completed to the total projects outstanding in the under implementation phase also shot-up. From 2007-08 to 2013-14 period, the completion rate was within the range of 0.4.4 per cent whereas in the years that followed the era of speed and the completion rate picked up significantly with a range from 1.2-5.3 per cent.
Mr Sonagara said, as per the CMIE report, as on 31 May 2022, the new investment in the state by all (government, private sector and foreign direct investment) have significantly increased and though youngest yet fastest growing states. In 2019-20, the new investment projects announced were worth Rs.518222.8 million, investment projects completed were worth Rs..123524.7 million and Rs.47449 million worth of projects were revived.

The gross state domestic products (GSDP) increased fro Rs.5 lakh crore in 2014-15 to Rs.11.54 lakh crore in 2021-22, as the state has shown rapid and robust economic growth amidst a global and national economic slowdown.
The study says the agriculture and allied activities in the state have been consistently progressing. While in 2018-19, the total food grains production was 9275.2 (000 tons), 2019-20 the total production of food grains went up to 11,125 (000 tons) and in 2020-21 likely to go up by over 50 per cent.

There has been a significant improvement in the livestock industry. It was found that the meat production recorded the highest increase of 8.5 per cent in 2020-21, egg production increased by 7 per cent and milk production increased by 3.1 per cent. As a result of the various promotional schemes launched by the state, the livestock production is expected to increase further.
Mr Sonagara said, it is estimated that the state has 26.05 lakh MSMEs; micro sector 25.94 lakh, small 0.10 lakh and 0.01 lakh in medium sector providing employment to over 40 lakh people. Though the state and central government have announced various policy initiatives, this sector is confronted with various problems such as technology, availability of timely competitive credit, lack of access to financial solutions, etc.
In this connection, he said, over 95% of the micro units are not able to access the credit due to lack of knowledge, not maintenance of proper records/documents necessarily needed for availing various available incentives and exploring credit from other than banks such as NBFCs/FinTech companies. Even globally, fintech investment is growing @ 14 per cent annually and already crossed $44 billion in 2020.and may touch $65 billion towards the end 2022.
Therefore, the BillMart has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the MSME EPC and other regional/state level associations and chambers to help their constituents in the MSME sector to skill them on how to make use of technology for growth of their businesses and up-date their data. Mr Rawat said, especially from the micro and small scale sector, despite host of policy incentives being provided by the Centre and State government,
large number of them are not able to take benefit due to incomplete data. Once their data are updated, and entrepreneurial skilling on technology use was provided, the two institutions will help them to receive credit timely and at competitive rate.
The BillMart chief said “BillMart has launched a MSME GAIN (growth and intelligence network) with a vision to benefit one crore MSMEs with 100 crores hours of knowledge upgradation by 2024. It will endeavour to empower the businesses to decide the most suitable and customized financial solutions for their businesses.
