Infrastructure facility is one of the critical areas for business development. In context of manufacturing MSME clusters facilities like service centre, training centre, effluent treatment plant, standby power generation plant etc. relates to cluster infrastructure. Adoption of social, environmental and safety norms by the manufacturers/ exporters helps in business development. Micro, Small and Medium Scale Enterprises may not be able to invest in such facilities due to limitation in their financial capacity or due to lack of interest to invest in such facilities, as it may add financials cost to their final product.
Therefore, government is supporting to MSMEs to invest in infrastructure facilities by sharing portion of cost on facilities like road, drainage, hostel for the workers, and common power generation plant through schemes like Integrated Textile Park (ITP) Scheme of the Ministry of Textiles, Government of India. Netaji Apparel Park at Tirupur is one such facility established utilising the support from the Ministry of Textiles.
Clusterkraft works in developing Common Facility Center (CFC) like Training Center, Testing Laboratory, Library, etc. in MSME cluster based on Public Private Partnership (PPP) model.
Clusterkraft under Project Vikas facilitated establishment of E-readiness Center in five MSME clusters - Agra - Leather , Chennai - Leather, Ludhiana - Hosiery, Pune - Auto Component and Tirupur - Knitwear
