New Delhi. The Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) and the German Government’s Development Bank KfW, signed a series of agreements here today for financial assistance totaling EURO 89.2 million (approx. Rs 622 crore) to promote the adoption of energy efficient and cleaner production technologies by micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in India. Two sets of agreements were signed in the Ministry of Finance in the presence of Mr. Kumar Sanjay Krishna, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Finance.
Under the Agreement, KfW will provide concessional loan and technical assistance to support financing of environmental investments in the MSME sector by SIDBI. The MSME Energy Efficiency Programme consists of a credit line of EURO 50 million and an accompanying grant component of EURO 0.5 million for technical support; the MSME Cleaner Production programme involves a credit line of EURO 38.5 million and a grant of EURO 0.2 million for technical support. The two agreements signed today support SIDBI’s initiatives to strengthen the MSME sector and further deepen the longstanding cooperation between SIDBI and KfW. MSMEs contribute critically to the Indian economy in terms of output, employment and exports.
Germany and KfW are longstanding partners of India. Since the 1950s, sectors like Energy, Financial Sector Development, Health, and Protection of the Environment and Natural Resources have received KfW support.

    There are several advantages to shopping online, the first one being the ability to shop at a time that is convenient to you, not just when the shops are open. The second advantage of shopping online is that goods are often cheaper as the seller does not have the costs of running a shop and having to pay wages to salespeople, insurance and all of the other running costs of a real world business.

    The weblink you mailed doesn’t seem to work, does any person have a mirror or backup web link source?

  6. OMG! It is like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, just like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some images to drive the content home a bit, but other than that, this is great blog. A wonderful read. I will definitely revisit again.

    If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
