MSME Scale Up Mission (Mission 1000)

The Scale Up Mission initiative by Government of Kerala is aimed at uplifting 1000 Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the State into businesses with Rs. 100 crore turnover within four years.

An online portal will be developed for MSMEs to apply for being selected under the initiative, and a scoring-criteria based on information submitted on the portal will be used to identify the top 1000 units for the project. The scoring criteria includes investments, annual turnover, profit, capacity utilization, exports, number of employees, promoters' CIBIL score, and details of certifications obtained.

Selected units will be provided with various incentives to encourage their growth, such as
