&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Chennai: &lt;/em&gt;Other Backward Classes (OBC) own nearly 30% of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) in the country.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;As on March 31, 2022, the number of MSMEs owned by OBCs was 23.31 lakh units, out of a total of about 80.16 lakh units in the country. &amp;nbsp;Of the OBC-owned units, around 41% are located in three States &amp;mdash; Tamil Nadu (14.5%), Maharashtra (14.4%) and Rajasthan (12.4%), according to a perusal of the data furnished by the Office of the MSME Development Commissioner exclusively to The Hindu. &amp;nbsp;The data was compiled on the basis of the units that have registered themselves with the authorities through the Udyam portal.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;According to the social category-wise distribution, the General Category accounts for the highest share of the MSME units with 61.8%. In absolute figures, there are 49.56 lakh units belonging to this category. As many as 6.8% of the units &amp;mdash; around 5.43 lakh &amp;mdash; are owned by the Scheduled Castes, while the Scheduled Tribes run about 1.68 lakh units with 2.1% share. &amp;nbsp;A little over 18,000 units come under the category of &amp;ldquo;Unidentified&amp;rdquo;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;As per a June 2020 notification of the Union Ministry of MSME, a micro enterprise has been defined as one where the investment in plant and machinery or equipment does not exceed ₹1 crore and turnover does not exceed ₹5 crore; a small enterprise as one where the investment in plant and machinery or equipment does not exceed ₹10 crore and turnover does not exceed ₹50 crore; and a medium enterprise as one where the investment in plant and machinery or equipment does not exceed ₹50 crore and turnover does not exceed ₹250 crore.&lt;/p&gt;
