The priority stall allocation and 50% rental subsidy announced here has given our SME cluster direct exposure to GCC buyers. Extremely timely initiative by SMEDA.
Will the on-site facilitation desk at the expo also assist existing manufacturers with technical energy audit grants and SMERP QR-code verifications?
