Commissioner Secretary I&C Manoj Kumar Dwivedi has emphasized that MSMEs of Jammu and Kashmir shall avail the facility of TReDS which will help in maintaining liquidity in the market as MSMEs will get easy and quick working capital at much cheaper interest rates as compared to business loans and they will enjoy collateral-free quick finance with one time documentation. Deliberations were carried on the scope of TReDs in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. The presidents of different associations showed a keen interest in this new scheme and were further of the opinion that the TReDS platform is definitely going to help to maintain the liquidity in the hands of the Entrepreneurs by providing immediate cash in the hands of sellers.
