Abstract

Zero Effect Zero Defect (ZED) is an initiative launched by the Government of India with the objective of promoting quality manufacturing practices and sustainable industrial development among MSMEs. ZED focuses on eliminating defects in products and processes while minimizing the environmental impact of industries. It emphasizes the principles of efficiency, waste reduction, and continuous improvement. In the context of India, ZED is particularly important as the country is one of the world’s fastest-growing economies and has a significant manufacturing sector. The initiative aims to enhance the competitiveness of Indian industries, both domestically and globally, by fostering a culture of quality consciousness and environmental responsibility. This research aims to examine the distribution of Zero Defect Zero Effect (ZED) firms across different states and sectors in India. By analysing available data, the study will provide insights into the number of ZED-certified firms in each state and sector. Additionally, it will explore the factors contributing to variations in ZED firm numbers with respect to states and sectors through the lens of various state-level policy initiatives and support. The findings address key insights for policymakers and stakeholders to identify strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for promoting ZED practices in specific regions and industries.
