GeM Portal Products

The GeM Portal has revolutionized India’s e-procurement system by offering a seamless, transparent, and efficient marketplace for both government buyers and registered sellers. Once the GeM Seller Registration is completed, the next essential step is GeM Product Listing, which enables sellers to showcase their items directly to ministries, departments, PSUs, and other government organizations.

Sellers are required to map every item to the correct GeM Product Category and upload accurate product details. This ensures quick approval from the GeM Product Management Team. After approval, sellers can participate in Direct Purchase, L1 procurement, Bidding, and Reverse Auctions, unlocking major government business opportunities.

The platform currently includes a vast and well-organized catalog with:

  • 11,220+ Product Categories
