What is TReDS? TReDS is an institutional mechanism set up in order to facilitate the financing of trade receivables of MSMEs from corporate buyers through multiple financiers. MSMEs, despite their important role in the Indian economy, MSMEs continue to face constraints in obtaining adequate finance, particularly in their ability to convert trade receivables into liquid funds. In order to address this issue, the Reserve Bank of India granted approval to three applicants to set up and operate TReDS.
