Uttar Pradesh continues to top the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) procurement by logging Rs 65,000 crore worth of purchases in the last four years.
The feat reaffirms the commitment of the Yogi Adityanath government to digital and transparent governance.
Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal, in a letter to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, praised the state’s active participation and called it a model for others.
The letter highlighted that UP recorded purchases worth Rs 65,227 crore on GeM between FY 2020–21 and 2024–25.
In his letter, Goyal noted that in FY 2024–25 alone, over 7.2 million procurement orders were completed, amounting to Rs 5.43 trillion — a new milestone in India’s public procurement system.
Since its inception, GeM has facilitated over 29 million orders amounting to more than Rs 1.4 trillion.
GeM platform now includes over 11,000 product categories and 330+ service categories.
The union minister pointed out that the UP government issued a comprehensive order on November 26, 2024, aligning its procurement rules with the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017 and GeM’s General Terms and Conditions (GTC).
This order consolidated various procurement-related notifications into a unified framework, simplifying processes and enabling 100% adoption of GeM in UP.
Goyal emphasized that UP’s support for GeM is a step toward realising Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a ‘one-stop digital marketplace’.
UP’s procurement on GeM from 2020–21 to 2024–25 is as follows: 2020–21 – Rs 4,622.16 crore; 2021–22 – Rs 11,286.29 crore; 2022–23 – Rs 12,242.48 crore; 2023–24 – Rs 20,248.00 crore; 2024–25 – Rs 16,828.75 crore.
