- 10. Problems / challenges faced by MSME Finance: The scarcity of capital and inadequate availability of credit facilities are the major causes of this problem. Firstly, adequate funds are not available and secondly, entrepreneurs due to weak economic base, have lower credit worthiness. Neither they are having their own resources nor are others prepared to lend them. Raw Material: availability of inadequate quantity, poor quality and even supply of raw material is not on regular basis. Small scale units are thus forced to purchase the same raw material from the open market at very high prices. Idle Capacity: There is under utilization of installed capacity to the extent of 40 to 50 percent in case of small scale industries. Various causes of this underutilization are shortage of raw material problem associated with funds and even availability of power.

Problems / challenges faced by MSME Technology : Moreover, they lack requisite resources to update or modernize their plant and machinery due to obsolete methods of production, they are confronted with the problems of less production in inferior quality and that too at higher cost. Marketing : They are not in a position to get first hand information about the market i.e. about the competition, taste, liking, disliking of the consumers and prevalent fashion. With the result they are not in a position to upgrade their products keeping in mind market requirements. Infrastructure : There is inadequate availability of transportation, communication, power and other facilities in the backward areas. All these factors are going to adversely affect the quantity, quality and production schedule of the enterprises operating in these areas.
- 12. Problems / challenges faced by MSME Under Utilization of Capacity: Large scale units are working for 24 hours a day i.e. in three shifts of 8 hours each and are thus making best possible use of their machinery and equipment. Various reasons attributed to this gross under- utilization of capacities are problems of finance, raw material, power and underdeveloped markets for their products. Project Planning : These entrepreneurs do not attach much significance to viability studies i.e. both technical and economical and plunge into entrepreneurial activity out of mere enthusiasm and excitement. They do not bother to study the demand aspect, marketing problems, and sources of raw materials and even availability of proper infrastructure before starting their enterprises. Skilled Manpower: A small scale unit located in a remote backward area may not have problem with respect to unskilled workers, but skilled workers are not available there
