A deputation of Laghu Udyog Bharati, Jammu & Kashmir, submitted a memorandum demanding extension and enhancement of the NCSS so that all MSME units that applied before 30 September 2024 are granted full benefits under the scheme.
The deputation also demanded announcement of a new 10-year industrial package for Jammu & Kashmir.
