Abstract Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are crucial contributors to India’s industrial and economic progress. They stimulate job creation, drive innovation, and enhance both domestic output and export performance. Nevertheless, many MSMEs in the manufacturing sector continue to face obstacles that restrict their expansion and long-term viability. This paper examines the challenges experienced by entrepreneurs in the manufacturing-based MSMEs of Sindhudurg district, Maharashtra. Drawing upon surveys and interviews with local business owners, complemented by analysis of official reports and industrial data, the research highlights critical issues such as financial limitations, technological lag, regulatory complexities, market-entry barriers, and shortages of skilled labor. These interdependent factors collectively influence the sustainability of enterprises. The study concludes with region-specific recommendations emphasizing simplified credit access, skill enhancement initiatives, policy rationalization, and technological modernization to strengthen the MSME ecosystem in Sindhudurg.
