Government e Marketplace (GeM) uses artificial intelligence-powered tools and a multilingual Learning Management System (LMS) to facilitate access to public procurement
The Government e Marketplace (GeM), India’s national public procurement portal, has recorded transactions worth Rs 5.4 lakh crore in Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) in the financial year 2025 (FY25), the Centre said in a statement.
The Ministry of Commerce and Industry highlighted that GeM uses artificial intelligence-powered tools and a multilingual Learning Management System (LMS) to facilitate access to public procurement. Features such as voice-enabled navigation and region-specific training modules support onboarding and transactions for sellers, including those in remote and underserved areas.
“Over the past nine years, GeM has recorded notable achievements, including Rs 5.4 lakh crore in Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) in FY 2024–25, onboarding 1.5 lakh women-led enterprises along with startups, self-help groups (SHGs), artisans and micro and small enterprises (MSEs),” the ministry emphasised.
The official statement noted that the platform has implemented technology-driven procurement processes for faster and more cost-effective transactions, expanded into new service verticals such as insurance, manpower and Mine Development and Operations (MDOs), and extended training and onboarding support to state governments, public sector undertakings and local bodies.
“These reforms demonstrate our intent to make GeM even more inclusive and accessible. Our focus remains on ensuring every enterprise, from tribal artisans to tech-driven startups, can easily access public procurement opportunities,” said Mihir Kumar, Chief Executive Officer, GeM.
