GeM platform has led to a 20-30 per cent reduction in prices: Nirmala Sitharaman

12 Jul 2017 Evaluate

Highlighting the importance of procurement through the Government e-Market (GeM) platform, Commerce & Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said that GeM platform has led to a 20-30 per cent reduction in prices compared to before and added, she was glad that GeM was being recognised as the national e-procurement portal. Most importantly, the sellers do not have to run around from pillar to post to get their payment, which is made within 10 days of the delivery of goods.

The Minister said that the Central and state governments procure goods and services worth over Rs 5 lakh crore annually, and the GeM could help in saving a considerable amount of tax payers. She further said that if that is the quantum of taxpayers money being spent on procurement of goods for the government, there needs to be an open and transparent process and, therefore, bringing it on board a platform like GeM is absolutely important.

Sitharaman added that of Rs 5 lakh crore, even if we save 10 per cent because of the transparent way in which we do business, it would be a great saving for the public exchequer. She further said that GeM promotes ease of doing business for both buyers and sellers and buying goods and services from this portal would help in reducing cost, getting more choices to buyers.

GeM was launched by the commerce ministry to bring greater transparency and efficiency in public procurement. Presently, more than 40,000 products in about 150 product categories and hiring of transport service are available on GeM POC portal.
