Which of the following enterprises is NOT eligible for Udyog Aadhar registration with Ministry of Micro. Small and Medium Enterprises, Government of India?  

The correct answer is Medium enterprise in manufacturing sector with an investment in plant and machinery of Rs 15 crores   

Key PointsA medium enterprise in the manufacturing sector with an investment of Rs 15 crores in plant and machinery is NOT eligible for Udyog Aadhar registration with the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME), Government of India.

Here's why:

• Udyog Aadhar (now Udyam registration) is specifically for Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs), not Medium Enterprises (MEs). The current investment limits for each category are:
• Micro: Investment in plant and machinery or equipment does not exceed Rs 1 crore.
• Small: Investment in plant and machinery or equipment is more than Rs 1 crore but does not exceed Rs 10 crore.
• Medium: Investment in plant and machinery or equipment is more than Rs 10 crore.

Therefore, a medium enterprise with an investment of Rs 15 crores falls outside the eligibility criteria for Udyam registration.
While this enterprise might be considered an MSME by the Indian government for other purposes, it wouldn't qualify for the benefits and support specifically offered through Udyam registration.

So, you were right in identifying the medium enterprise with an investment of Rs 15 crores as ineligible for Udyog Aadhar registration.
