S. Vasudevan, president of Tanstia, said micro and small enterprises are going through a particularly difficult phase as they face the impact of the West Asia conflict and a steady rise in production and operational costs.
He made the remarks at the Vettri Tamil Nadu MSME Summit 2026, highlighting the challenges currently confronting the sector.
According to Vasudevan, units are grappling with rising expenses at a time when external disruptions are adding further pressure on business operations.
