This mass migration reflects the sector’s increasing sophistication and readiness for larger-scale operations.

According to B2K Analytics, BSE SME saw 199 migrations, while NSE Emerge contributed 158. These companies now enjoy the benefits of mainboard listing, including wider investor reach and heightened profile in the capital markets.

The process involves transferring shares from SME segments to main exchanges, unlocking advanced fundraising avenues. B2K Analytics CEO Ritaban Basu emphasized, ‘Mainboard access not only taps into retail and institutional funds but also boosts corporate stature, aiding talent acquisition.’

He added that rigorous compliance improves company valuations and injects liquidity into shares, simplifying investor participation. Eligibility demands include sustained market cap over Rs 100 crore on average, three-year operating profits topping Rs 15 crore annually (minimum Rs 10 crore per year), and business continuity with core revenue dominance.

Textile firms dominate the migrations with 44 successes, trailed by 33 in machinery and components, and 29 in food and tobacco sectors. Fundraising has skyrocketed too—from Rs 4,823 crore by 179 SMEs in 2023 to Rs 12,105 crore by 268 in the latest period, marking explosive growth.

As SMEs scale up, this migration wave promises to invigorate India’s economy, channeling more resources into innovation and expansion while strengthening market depth.

Gandhi warned of devastation from US tariffs hitting 50 percent, claiming factory closures and unemployment signal a collapsing economy.

Ilmi, addressing IANS in New Delhi, dismissed Gandhi as clueless. ‘He doesn’t read, doesn’t comprehend. Skip the newspapers; just Google India’s textile success story,’ she advised sarcastically.

The BJP leader credited GST 2.0 updates in September 2025 for rationalizing textile duties, unlocking investments and reversing Congress-era decline. ‘Exports are booming under Modi government. Gandhi’s ‘dead economy’ trope is for overseas applause, ignoring soaring GDP figures,’ Ilmi asserted.

Delving deeper into Congress infighting, Ilmi attributed Gandhi’s snub of Shashi Tharoor in Kerala campaigns to deep-seated insecurity. ‘He’s edging out seniors like Tharoor, who stood firm with India’s foreign policy and military during Operation Sindoor. This disarray screams leadership failure,’ she analyzed.

Ilmi reserved her strongest words for Mamata Banerjee’s self-comparison to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. ‘One fought for independence, igniting youth fervor. The other undermines constitutional bodies, clashes with agencies, and disregards decorum. How can anyone equate them? It’s beyond parody,’ she remarked, painting a vivid picture of political hypocrisy.
