Small cos create bulk of 20 million ESIC jobs

ESIC saw 20.9 million new registrations between April 2024 and February 2025, primarily from micro and small enterprises with up to 20 employees. This surge is attributed to expanded coverage, improved services, and the integration with Ayushman Bharat, making the scheme more appealing to workers. The total new registrations could reach 22.8 million for the entire fiscal year.
