Government e-Marketplace hits ₹5.4tn sales milestone
On its ninth birthday, the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) announced it hit a massive ₹5.4 trillion in sales for FY25—up from ₹4 trillion last year.
GeM, launched in 2016, has become the go-to platform for government buying in India, connecting over 1.5 lakh women-led enterprises with more than 1.6 lakh government buyers.
GeM isn't just about big numbers
GeM isn't just about big numbers—it's opening doors for small businesses, women entrepreneurs, and startups by making public procurement more accessible and transparent.
With cool features like online bidding and instant payment tracking (plus interest if payments are late), GeM is making government deals faster and fairer—and even expanding into new areas like insurance and manpower services.
