Outlining the 10 point CII agenda for the SME sector, Datla emphasised the promotion of climate friendly energy technologies to enhance the self-reliance on energy and also be responsible towards the environment.
"CII strongly feels that there is a need to create Central Climate Friendly Technology Fund to help MSMEs to adopt technologies, such as wind energy turbines and systems, hydro energy turbines and systems, solar photovoltaic and thermal systems and geo-thermal energy systems", Datla added.
The MSME sector accounts for 40 per cent of exports, 45 per cent of the industrial production and contributes 8 per cent to the national GDP.
