Businesses have been closed for two-three months. Everyone is in problems. We need more liquidity in the market to tide over this. The Centre’s package of Rs 20 lakh crore, another Rs 20 lakh crore from the states coupled with Rs 10 lakh crore from public-private investments will be important to get the wheels of the economy rolling,” he said. Speaking on the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), a portfolio that he holds, Gadkari said banks are helping increase the working capital limit. “Over six lakh MSMEs have been restricted will March and we are looking to restructure 25 lakh more MSMEs by the end of the year,” the minister said.Gadkari said as the per government directions, all central government entities, PSUs and private companies have been told to clear the dues of the MSMEs within 45 days. “I have urged the states also to do the same,” he said, adding that there was a software developed to keep a track of all the applications coming to banks to ease the hurdles and reduce pendency of applications.

For this, we need more liquidity in the market, more spending capacity of consumers to increase supply-demand change. Businesses need to be accelerated with more foreign investments and PPP kits. I am confident there will be a positive change in one year,” he said.
