How to List Products on Government e-Marketplace?
Indian Government has launched a very transparent e-commerce portal, referred to as Government e-Marketplace (GeM).
Any small dealer or a manufacturer who has a GeM registration in his business can access the wide platform. There he can sell his products and services to the distinguished buyers from the Government sector or PSUs, who have a huge requirement for his supplies. This system empowers these small traders and manufacturers to expand their business.
The Government e-Marketplace (GeM), is a business-friendly platform, that facilitates smart online procurement of Goods & Services required by the Government Departments, Organizations and PSUs.
Very importantly, upon the GeM registration process, the dealers, manufacturers and service providers have to list their products & services on their GeM login. This process is called Product listing on Government e-Marketplace. It’s only when the product listing is approved by the GeM Authority, that the GeM products of the seller will go live on the Government e-Marketplace.
Traders who have the GeM seller registration can then easily sell their products.
Procedure of product listing on Government e-Marketplace
Product listing on the Government e-Marketplace involves various steps. Only after successful approval, any product or service gets available on the GeM portal for sale.
Such steps may differ based on the type of GeM seller. Here are 5 easy steps for listing products on Government e-Marketplace.
