NSIC Pays Rs 47.76 Crore Dividend to the Government

The National Small Industries Corporation Limited (NSIC) handed over its dividend for the financial year 2025-26 to the Government of India on 28 October 2026. The corporation is a Schedule 'A' Mini Ratna company and works under the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, whose ministers received the cheque.

The dividend was presented by Dr Subhransu Sekhar Acharya, Chairman-cum-Managing Director of NSIC. It was received by Jitan Ram Manjhi, Union Minister for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, and Shobha Karandlaje, Minister of State for the same ministry. Bharat Khera, Secretary in the ministry, was present along with senior officers of the ministry and of the corporation.

The year's figures

Dr Acharya told the gathering that both the revenue and the profit after tax marked strong growth over the previous financial year. A dividend of this kind is the share of the profit that a government-owned company returns to its owner, so the payment is a direct measure of how the corporation performed during the year.

What the ministers said

The Union Minister for MSME praised the corporation for the way it has worked to empower small businesses through its integrated support services and through the various government initiatives it carries out on the ministry's behalf. The leadership present said they expected NSIC to continue promoting entrepreneurship, the creation of new enterprises, skill development and the growth of micro and small enterprises across the country.

Why NSIC matters

Its experience and institutional capacity are described as carrying forward the aim of an Aatmanirbhar and inclusive Bharat.
