Key procurement sectors
India procurement landscape
GeM is the world's largest public procurement marketplace by transaction volume, processing over $40 billion in annual purchases across more than 10 million product offerings — a scale that reflects the breadth of India's central government buying. The integrated payment and rating systems built into GeM's marketplace model have been studied by procurement agencies worldwide as a model for e-procurement modernization. The Central Public Procurement Portal handles the more complex, high-value tenders that require full bidding procedures, covering sectors including IT services, defense equipment and sustainment, healthcare infrastructure, and railway supplies for the world's fourth-largest rail network. Procurement represents approximately 20% of India's GDP, making the combined GeM/CPPP ecosystem one of the most consequential supplier markets on earth. The platform's scale also means that winning a position on a GeM category can generate recurring orders across thousands of government buyers simultaneously.
