This study looks at how India's MSME sector will be impacted by the Budget 2025, highlighting the significance of government initiatives in fostering growth, innovation, and financial stability. Using secondary data from government and budget reports, industry surveys, and academic studies, examined the connection between budget expenditure and MSMEs. The results show that Budget 2025 includes significant measures to boost the viability and competitiveness of MSMEs, such as facilitating digitalization, making financing easier and constructing infrastructure. The initiatives are supposed to bring financial stability to MSMEs and promote their sustainable growth while developing the entrepreneurial environment of the country. This shows how important specific government initiatives and changes in the legislature are for the long-term success and development of MSMEs in India.
