The government announced plans to broaden the Zero Emission Digital (ZED) certification scheme to include micro, small and medium enterprises in the services sector.
The Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises has revealed that the Zero Emission Digital (ZED) certification scheme will be expanded to cover MSMEs operating in the services sector.
The ZED program, which has so far focused on manufacturing units, aims to provide a digital and environmental credibility framework for small businesses.
Under the new extension, service‑based MSMEs will be eligible to apply for the certification, which could help them attract clients seeking digitally compliant partners.
The announcement comes as part of the government’s broader push to digitise the MSME ecosystem and promote sustainable business practices.
