Monthly MCCIA Survey Reveals Rising Optimism Among Pune Industries: 84% Expect Growth in FY 2024-25
Pune, 8th January 2025: The Mahratta Chamber of Commerce Industries and Agriculture (MCCIA) has announced the launch of a monthly survey to track growth expectations of industries in and around the Pune district. This initiative builds on MCCIA’s earlier two-year-long monthly survey assessing post-COVID recovery, which had by end of the survey period revealed that businesses had achieved 95-100% recovery to pre-pandemic levels.
In the second edition of the new monthly series started in December 2024, MCCIA surveyed the same 108 companies in this week, to understand their growth expectations in January for the current financial year (FY 2024-25) compared to the last. The findings highlight that 84% of respondents anticipate growth, while 11% expect no change, and 5% foresee a decline. Notably, over 28% of the companies are projecting revenue growth of 20% or more. The findings of two months survey highlighted that defence and electronic manufacturing industries are at the forefront and are continuing to contributing significantly to this optimistic outlook. Compared to last month’s survey, companies anticipating positive growth has increased from 81% to 84% while companies anticipating negative growth has reduced from 9% to 5%.
The participating companies represented a diverse mix of sizes, including 5% large companies (revenue > ₹250 crore) and the rest categorised as 9% medium, 30% small, and 56% micro-enterprises. This distribution is broadly aligned with the industrial landscape of India, where MSMEs dominate in numbers.
MCCIA will conduct this survey monthly to track industry expectations and growth potential for the current financial year ending 31st March 2025, compared to FY 2023-24. The findings will help readers gain a pulse on progress of the industries in the region.
