The Primus Report highlights that India’s MSMEs are vital to achieving Net Zero goals but face major hurdles in accessing green finance. Key barriers include high upfront costs, regulatory uncertainty, and limited access to tailored financial solutions. Unlike large firms, MSMEs lack resources and face stricter lending norms.

Despite strong intent to adopt sustainable practices, a lack of awareness and support limits their progress. The report calls for clearer policies, inclusive financing, and targeted support to empower MSMEs in driving India’s green transition.
