He added the problem is small size of equipment used by MSMEs in India which needed to be designed
To the question of the high upfront cost and no visible returns in adopting the technology the director answered that adopting the technologies is not expensive because the payback period is around 3 years , the problem is that MSMEs prefer increasing their market share rather than adopting the energy efficient technologies.
