The Department of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises in the Government of Madhya Pradesh is the nodal state body for the MSME sector and the startup ecosystem. Working from Vallabh Bhawan in Bhopal, it administers the state's startup policies, pays financial assistance to entrepreneurs, and runs the Startup MP portal, having updated its framework progressively through policies in 2016, 2019, and 2022.
As the main link between the state and its startups, the department handles registration, disburses incentives, and coordinates with incubators, institutions, and industry bodies. With more than 5,000 startups registered and 72 incubators offering mentorship and technical support, it has built one of central India's larger state ecosystems. Under the current MP Startup Policy and Implementation Scheme 2022, support includes seed funding, patent assistance of up to Rs. 5 lakh, a lease-rental subsidy of 50% up to Rs. 5,000 a month for three years, and reimbursements for national and international events, with enhanced support for SC, ST, OBC, and women founders of up to 50% or Rs. 1.5 lakh. The broader Mukhyamantri Udyam Kranti Yojana adds subsidised loans and guarantees for self-employment and enterprise.
First-time entrepreneurs and early startups based in Madhya Pradesh across sectors benefit, with extra support for founders from SC, ST, OBC, and women-led teams, provided they are DPIIT-registered and operating in the state. Having helped create more than 50,000 jobs and maintaining 72 incubators that reach well beyond Bhopal and Indore, it is online at mpmsme.gov.in.
