KUALA LUMPUR — The Malaysian Indian Transformation Unit (Mitra) has officially launched the Uyarvu Madani Grant, offering funding of up to RM50,000 to more than 700 Indian entrepreneurs nationwide. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) facing operational scaling pressures.
Rather than offering a rigid, one-size-fits-all financial pool, the programme utilises a tiered framework designed to address the specific lifecycle requirements of growing businesses.
| Funding Category | Maximum Financial Allocation | Intended Operational Stage |
| Micro | Up to RM20,000 | Early-stage startups and localised operations |
| Growth | Up to RM35,000 | Businesses expanding market reach or upgrading machinery |
| High | Up to RM50,000 | Enterprises integrating advanced digital tools or scaling workforce |
The financial injection is intended to help local businesses strengthen their operational capacity, improve day-to-day productivity, and enhance market competitiveness in key economic sectors, including digital technology, automotive maintenance, modern agriculture, and e-commerce.
Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri R. Ramanan stated that the programme reflects the government’s firm commitment under Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s leadership to develop resilient entrepreneurs capable of scaling operations and increasing household incomes.
“The government wants to see more Indian entrepreneurs not only starting businesses but growing them into resilient and competitive enterprises that create more employment opportunities for the community,” Ramanan said in an official statement.
To ensure transparency and fund efficacy, Mitra has established strict compliance baselines for all prospective applicants. Applicants must be Malaysian citizens of Indian descent, aged between 21 and 55, and hold an active, valid business registration with the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM).
The nationwide application window is highly time-sensitive. Submissions opened today, June 29, 2026, and will close precisely at 5:00 PM on July 13, 2026. Eligible business owners can process their submissions via Mitra’s official digital portal.
