<h1>GeM mandates sellers to disclose product origin, promote local content, and prioritize local suppliers for bids under INR 200 crore.</h1> The Government e-Marketplace (GeM), under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, now requires sellers to disclose the Country of Origin for all products to support the Make in India and Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiatives. Existing sellers must update this information or risk removal from the platform. GeM also displays the percentage of local content, allowing buyers to filter products with at least 50% local content. Bids under INR 200 crore are reserved for local suppliers, with preference given to those with higher local content. This initiative aids small local sellers and ensures efficient procurement, especially critical during the Covid-19 pandemic.
