Micro- and small enterprise surveys from rural North India are analysed (N = 2,004). 34% of MSEs have no grid connection, despite complete village electrification. Variation in grid reliability did not explain connection rates nor low consumption. Electricity policy reform targeting productive use must consider wealth constraints.
This paper therefore suggests that the State Council and its Ministries that promulgate policies should provide targeted policy support to private SMEs and small (micro) enterprises, and give greater policy preference to private and small (micro) enterprises.
In particular, “micro-enterprises” were classified for the first time by the Notice on the Issuance of the Standard Regulations for the Classification of Small and Medium Enterprises, which was issued in June, and fiscal and financial support for small and micro enterprises also intensified.
We first look at the association between grid supply reliability and rural MSE propensity to connect to the grid. Table 6 shows that revenue village typical grid supply hours has a positive but statistically insignificant relationship with enterprise grid connection likelihoods.
The effective exclusion of revenue village grid supply reliability as a determinant of rural MSE grid connection and utilisation in our sample provides a starting point into understanding electricity needs and growth constraints of micro- and small non-farm enterprises in rural northern India.
It appears that MSE wealth and supply affordability, rather than grid supply quality are important covariates of MSE propensity to connect to the national grid. Next, we consider the fact that a substantial sub-set of grid-connected MSEs also rely on off-grid supply technologies.
