India's ambitious goal of achieving 50% decarbonized energy by 2030 faces challenges, particularly within MSMEs, which consume nearly a quarter of industrial energy, primarily from fossil fuels. FMC's program addresses these roadblocks by offering expertise in energy efficiency, renewable energy adoption, and sustainable practices. It promotes the development of circular economies and encourages the use of eco-friendly materials such as bamboo and recycled textiles. By bridging gaps in awareness, technology access, and green investments, FMC empowers MSMEs to contribute significantly to India's decarbonization journey while fostering sustainable growth.
