MSMED amendment bill could be an 'IBC moment' for small enterprises: Report
The new legislation on MSME is expected to help improve payment discipline among buyers of goods and services sold by small businesses, and could bring in an 'IBC moment' for enterprises facing delayed payments, a report said on Monday. It could become an 'IBC (Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code) moment' for delayed payments by improving payment discipline among buyers and unlocking working capital for small businesses, said the report by an arm of rating agency Crisil. The bankruptcy law (IBC) has helped banks to get rid of bad loans by putting borrowers at the risk of losing control over their companies in case of a default.

The Indian rupee is expected to weaken further against the US dollar over the next two fiscal years, pressured by elevated energy prices, global risk aversion and less favourable interest-rate differentials, while government measures to attract foreign capital should help contain the pace of depreciation, BMI, a Fitch Solutions Company, said. BMI expects the rupee to weaken to Rs 97 per US dollar by the end of FY2026-27, which runs from April 2026 to March 2027, and to Rs 99 per dollar by the end of FY2027-28, from Rs 95.4 currently. The currency has already weakened by about 4 per cent since the start of the US-Iran conflict, with higher energy prices and a broader risk-off environment weighing on the rupee, the research firm said in a note. India's heavy dependence on imported energy is likely to remain a key source of pressure. The country imports about 90 per cent of its oil requirements, meaning sustained increases in Brent crude prices would raise the import bill and increase
