Introduction to GeM Portal

The Government e-Marketplace (GeM) is India's national public procurement portal launched by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. It enables transparent, paperless, and efficient buying and selling of goods and services between government buyers and sellers (including MSMEs, startups, and large businesses).

For sellers and service providers, GeM registration opens doors to a massive government market with no registration fees, direct access to tenders, and faster payments. As of 2026, millions of products and services are listed, making it essential for any business aiming to supply to central/state government departments.
