Amidst several financial and fiscal problems, West Bengal’s economy is doing well since 2015-16, even in the absence of big-ticket investments. In 2015-’16, for example, as the Indian economy grew by 7.3%, West Bengal’s economy grew by 12.02%. Between 2012 and 2015, West Bengal was the third-fastest growing big state in the country. The growth was driven by the agricultural sector, the state’s largest employer. In 2015-’16, the agriculture sector grew by 5.55% in West Bengal as against 1.1% nationally. The state has also achieved success with Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises; it boasts the largest number of such enterprises in the country and recorded the highest bank credit flow to the sector in the past five years. West Bengal, India’s sixth largest state in terms of economic size, had a Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) of US$ 158.40 billion in 2017-18. The state’s GSDP grew at a CAGR of 11.88 per cent from 2011-12 to 2017-18. MSME sector is the main engine of this growth story. The number of Unincorporated Non-Agricultural Enterprises (Excluding Construction) in West Bengal as per NSS 73rd round (July 2015- June 2016) is the second highest number in the country with 88,68,455. Bengal accounted for 13.99% of micro, small and medium enterprises, which is just behind UP with 14.2% at the top 10 states of the country. The State Industrial Profile of West Bengal, thus, mainly focuses upon the status and prospects of micro, small and medium enterprises in the State vis-à-vis the availability of infrastructural facilities. Further, DC (MSME) Schemes & Incentives, State Incentive Policy, Present Industrial Structure, Thrust areas, Future prospects, etc. have also been thoroughly revised in the perspective of present requirement. Needless to mention that, the co-operation extended by various State & Central Govt. offices especially Directorate of MSME, Export Promotional Agencies, WBSEDCL, WBSIDC, Bureau of Applied Economic & Statistics, DGCI&S, State Planning Board, etc. and overall the latest Economic Reviews published by Govt. of West Bengal made our task unconstrained and smoother. I take this opportunity to thank all those officers who extended their co-operation towards completion of the Profile. I believe that the present Profile prepared by the Economic Investigation Division of the Institute under overall guidance of Shri D. Mitra, Deputy Director, will be of great use to the prospective entrepreneurs, promotional agencies, consultants, policy makers, NGOs and all others involved in the promotion and development of the MSME sector. 29th March, 2019 (A.
