Govt makes country of origin mandatory on GeM to promote ‘Make in India’

23 Jun 2020 Evaluate
In its significant step to promote ‘Make in India’ and ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’, the Government e-Marketplace (GeM), a Special Purpose Vehicle under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, has made it mandatory for sellers to enter the Country of Origin while registering all new products on GeM.

As per the notification, sellers, who had already uploaded their products before the introduction of this new feature on GeM, are being reminded regularly to update the country of origin, with a warning that their products shall be removed from GeM if they fail to update the same.

GeM has also enabled a provision for indication of the percentage of local content in products. With this new feature, now, the Country of Origin as well as the local content percentage are visible in the marketplace for all items. Besides, the ‘Make in India’ filter has now been enabled on the portal.
