Rajasthan MSME Statistics 2026: District-Wise Data

Rajasthan has 3,157,377 registered MSMEs, the fourth-largest base of any Indian state or union territory and 6.7 percent of the national total of 4.72 crore. The defining feature of the state is concentration: a single district, Jaipur, holds close to a fifth of every registration in Rajasthan, a dominance few state capitals match anywhere in the country.

This page breaks those registrations down across all 50 districts of Rajasthan, using the official Udyam data published on the Government of India open data portal, cleaned and reconciled to source. It covers where enterprises cluster, the micro, small and medium split, which districts are almost entirely micro, and how Rajasthan sits against its neighbours. The interactive map and the full, searchable district table are in the District-wise data section below.

Rajasthan MSME statistics at a glance

• Total registered MSMEs: 3,157,377 (about 31.6 lakh)
• Rank among states and union territories: fourth of 36
• Share of India’s MSME registrations: 6.7 percent
• Districts covered: 50
• Enterprise size split: 99.1 percent micro, 0.87 percent small, 0.05 percent medium

Jaipur dominates the state

Jaipur is the unmistakable centre of gravity. The capital district holds 585,477 registered MSMEs, 18.5 percent of the entire state and more than three times the next district, Jodhpur, which has 193,600. Ajmer, Alwar and Bhilwara follow, each in the 130,000 to 155,000 range. After that the numbers fall away quickly.

The five largest districts hold 38.4 percent of all registrations in the state, and the top ten hold 57.4 percent:

1. Jaipur, 585,477 (18.5 percent)
2. Jodhpur, 193,600 (6.1 percent)
3. Ajmer, 154,103 (4.9 percent)
4. Alwar, 144,667 (4.6 percent)
5. Bhilwara, 136,137 (4.3 percent)

The mix of cities on that list tells the economic story of the state. Jodhpur and Bikaner anchor the arid west, Bhilwara is a textile town, Alwar sits inside the industrial corridor that runs toward Delhi, and Jaipur combines a large urban economy with the administrative weight of the capital.

A state of micro enterprises

Like every state in this series, Rajasthan's base is overwhelmingly micro. Of the 3,157,377 registrations, about 3,128,364 are micro (99.1 percent), roughly 27,350 are small (0.87 percent), and only about 1,663 are medium (0.05 percent). Fewer than seventeen hundred firms in a state of more than three crore registrations have reached medium scale, the missing middle laid out in plain numbers.

The few larger firms cluster where the industry is. Jaipur alone holds 593 medium enterprises, followed by Alwar (155), Jodhpur (118), Bhilwara (87) and Udaipur (78). Alwar's relatively high medium count is notable for a district outside the capital, and it reflects the manufacturing that has spread south from the Delhi border into the Neemrana and Bhiwadi belt.

The 2023 reorganisation and the long tail

Rajasthan's district count is unusually high because of the 2023 reorganisation that split several large districts into smaller ones. That is why the bottom of the table is filled with newly created districts that start from a very small base: Dudu (1,249), Shahpura (1,389), Kekri (1,728), Sanchor (2,001) and Gangapurcity (2,238) each register only a few thousand enterprises, not because their economies are negligible but because they were carved out recently. Anyone comparing Rajasthan's district counts with older data should keep this reorganisation in mind, which is also why the state shows 50 districts here rather than the lower figures seen in pre-2023 sources.

How Rajasthan compares with its neighbours

Rajasthan sits comfortably in the upper half of the country and leads most of its immediate neighbours, trailing only Uttar Pradesh among the states on its borders.

Rajasthan has slightly more registrations than Gujarat and comfortably more than Madhya Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana. Only Uttar Pradesh, far larger in population, registers more among its neighbours.

What this means for businesses and policymakers

For anyone selling to or lending to small businesses in Rajasthan, the practical reading is twofold. First, the market is heavily micro: products and pricing built for mid-sized firms will miss almost the entire base. Second, the market is geographically lopsided. Jaipur, with the Ajmer and Alwar corridors, is where the scaled and more formal firms sit, while the western and newly carved districts are thin micro economies. The credit gap and the upgrade opportunity both concentrate where the data is thinnest.

Methodology and source

The figures come from the district-wise count of MSMEs registered on the Udyam portal, published on the Government of India open data portal at data.gov.in. Each number is a count of Udyam registrations rather than a survey of active businesses, so it reflects formal registration, not total economic activity. Enterprises are classified as micro, small or medium under the MSME definition, which is based on investment and turnover and was revised upward with effect from 1 April 2025. District names follow the latest official boundaries as they appear in the source, so districts created in the 2023 reorganisation are listed separately. Every figure is exactly as it appears in the source.
