TESTING
EQUIPMENT ASSISTANCE SCHEME – EMPOWERING MSMES IN HARYANA TO DELIVER
ZERO-DEFECT PRODUCTS
INTRODUCTION
The
Testing Equipment Assistance Scheme, launched under the Haryana Enterprises
& Employment Policy – 2020, is a flagship initiative by the Government of
Haryana. Its primary aim is to empower Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises
(MSMEs) by enhancing their quality control capabilities through financial
support for acquiring modern testing equipment.
As
India moves towards self-reliance and global manufacturing competitiveness,
quality assurance becomes a cornerstone for MSME success. This scheme plays a
crucial role in strengthening the quality infrastructure of MSMEs, thereby
ensuring that their products meet both national and international standards.
Why
Testing Equipment Matters for MSMEs
In
today’s competitive marketplace, especially for businesses engaged in
manufacturing, quality assurance is not optional—it’s critical. With consumer
expectations and regulatory requirements on the rise, MSMEs must ensure that
their products are safe, reliable, and of high quality.
Testing
equipment helps enterprises:
Conduct
accurate analysis of raw materials and finished products
Comply
with domestic and global industry standards
Reduce
production errors and product returns
Build
customer trust and expand into new markets
However,
setting up a state-of-the-art testing facility requires significant investment.
That’s where the Testing Equipment Assistance Scheme provides a much-needed
boost.

Facilitate
the installation and modernization of testing labs within MSME units
