MCCIA President Sudhir Mehta spoke about the importance of credit. He said, "More than 85 per cent of credit is informal which affects cost structures and hence competitiveness of MSMEs. Even those who get credit, may not get it at the best possible terms. This initiative of MCCIA with our partner organisations is to support MSMEs in need of credit by helping them network with financial institutes who can provide the credit."

MCCIA has been playing a significant role in accelerating the industrial and economic development of the Pune region for more than eight decades now. It has 3000 plus Members from a cross section of Business and Industries. It has been responsive to changing times, needs and requirements of the best manufacturing practices of the Pune Region. The Chamber has also made timely interventions on behalf of the industry and supported business and corporates.
