Introduction Of GEM Registration (Government E-Marketplace)

The Commerce and Industry Minister launched the government e-marketplace (GEM Registration) on August 9, 2016, in accordance with the Allocation of Business Rules, 1961. Under the Make in India initiative, the Government of India (GOI) has mandated that all of its departments purchase goods and services through its online marketplace. This platform was created by the Indian government to buy stores. On the Government E-marketplace (GEM) portal, one can both buy and sell goods to government departments. Government offices are required to purchase equities from this GEM Portal. Only those who have earned GEM Registration are eligible to sell or buy on the GEM Portal. GEM Registrations come in two flavours, one for buyers and one for vendors. 
GEM's goal is to provide efficiency, openness, and promptness in the acquisition of supplies of products and services.
