News Desk, News Nation 360 : The industrial sector will become more "human-centric, sustainable, and resilient" with the aid of Industry 5.0, which focuses on integrating cutting-edge technology like AI, AR, and big data analytics into operations. Currently, mechanisation and rudimentary automation define the bulk of Indian MSMEs, which operate at Industry 2.0 or Industry 3.0 levels. The sophisticated automation and integration of Industry 4.0 and the new developments of Industry 5.0, which prioritise sustainable practices and human-centred solutions, are well ahead of these levels. Pramod Kumar Vijayvargiya, General Manager, SIDBI stated that SIDBI has been addressing the issues MSMEs encounter with a targeted approach. They have been using a cluster method to work on green financing for almost ten years. Through the implementation of energy audits in particular clusters, they have been able to determine areas for carbon emission reduction. They have been providing MSMEs with the funding they need to improve their technology, machinery, and manufacturing, among other things.
