What does Government e-Marketplace (GeM) mean in logistics?

Short answer

The Government of India’s online procurement portal through which central and state government buyers and PSUs purchase goods and services.

Several transport and logistics services, including vehicle hiring, are listed as service categories on GeM. Sellers register with PAN and Udyam or other credentials and bid in buyer-created bids or reverse auctions. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
