Sources: 4. Developments: 3. India's Government e-Marketplace (GeM) marked its 10th anniversary with a series of celebrations, including its 10th Foundation Day in New Delhi. During these events, Union Minister Piyush Goyal announced plans to launch a new, AI-enabled platform designed to enhance transparency, competitiveness, and procurement efficiency. GeM has reached a cumulative Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) of over Rs 20 lakh crore, facilitating more than 3.78 crore orders. Growth has accelerated significantly, with Rs 10 lakh crore in procurement occurring in the first eight years, followed by another Rs 10 lakh crore in the last two years alone. The platform's annual GMV recently exceeded Rs 1,55,000 crore, up from Rs 422 crore a decade ago. The marketplace currently connects approximately 1.37 lakh government buyer organizations with nearly 25 lakh sellers and service providers across more than 10,660 product categories. Participation from diverse groups remains high: over 12.28 lakh Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) are registered—with women-led MSEs accounting for over 2.24 lakh registrations—and more than 42,000 startups have conducted business worth approximately Rs 66,000 crore. Looking toward its next decade, the government outlined five strategic priorities: strengthening last-mile access via Suvidha Kendras, utilizing Artificial Intelligence for price intelligence and marketplace integrity, integrating states and cooperatives into a national ecosystem, focusing on credit and sustainability through GeM Sahay and TReDS, and increasing university outreach. A new nationwide helpdesk short code, 14550, was also launched to support stakeholders. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-11: Government e Marketplace marks 10 years with AI-driven procurement focus India's Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal announced a new AI-enabled Government e Marketplace (GeM) platform to modernize public procurement, following the platform's milestone of ₹20 lakh crore in cumulative GMV. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/government-e-marketplace-marks-10-years-with-ai-driven-procurement-focus ### 2026-08-09: Government e-Marketplace hits Rs 20 lakh crore cumulative GMV India's Government e-Marketplace (GeM) has reached a cumulative GMV of over Rs 20 lakh crore, connecting millions of sellers with government buyers through a digital procurement ecosystem. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/government-e-marketplace-hits-rs-20-lakh-crore-cumulative-gmv ### 2026-07-31: India's Government e-Marketplace launches 10‑day celebrations for 10th Foundation Day India's Government e‑Marketplace (GeM) began a 10‑day celebration for its 10th Foundation Day, unveiling a logo and pledging to fulfil PM Modi’s vision of a transparent digital procurement system, with buyer‑me 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/indias-government-e-marketplace-launches-10day-celebrations-for-10th-foundation-day --- Cite as: India Government e-Marketplace expansion and AI roadmap.
