Below the Quote on Union Budget 2026 - She Marts and MSME Credit Push to Empower Women Entrepreneurs from Mr. Sanjay Garyali, MD & CEO, Fusion Finance
“The Union Budget strengthens the framework for expanding formal credit access to MSMEs and last-mile borrowers, which is a meaningful positive for the microfinance sector. Measures such as the proposed ?10,000 crore SME Growth Fund and the introduction of Corporate Mitras to support MSMEs in meeting compliance requirements are expected to improve the availability of timely and affordable credit for micro-entrepreneurs, particularly in regions where traditional banking penetration remains limited.
Initiatives such as She Marts can further strengthen livelihood outcomes by providing rural women entrepreneurs with structured market linkages. When complemented with access to formal credit, such platforms can enable Self-Help Group entrepreneurs to scale their enterprises, improve market access, and build more sustainable income streams.
For Fusion Finance, these reforms support a more structured and formalised approach to scaling our microfinance operations. They enable deeper borrower engagement, improved credit absorption, and calibrated growth anchored in stronger repayment performance. We will look to actively leverage these policy enablers to expand credit access in underserved regions, while continuing to build a sustainable and responsible microfinance portfolio that supports livelihood growth at the grassroots level.”
