What is the total order value on GeM?

History

GMV is the value of orders placed through GeM by government buyers since it began. It is order value, not money paid, and the totals are floors ("over") that the Ministry states at milestones.

The figures side by side

How we got this number

1. Take the cumulative gross merchandise value stated for GeM's tenth anniversary: over ₹20 lakh crore through more than 3.78 crore orders as on 7 August 2026.
2. Put it next to the earlier milestones GeM and the Ministry announced: ₹18.4 lakh crore (6 April 2026) and ₹15 lakh crore (26 August 2025).
3. Read the recent pace from the same August 2026 report: ₹1,47,888 crore of orders in the first four months of FY 2026-27.

What this number does not tell you

• GMV is the value of orders placed, not payments made, and it counts every order since GeM began in 2016.
• Each total is a milestone GeM or the Ministry stated ("over ₹20 lakh crore", "₹15 lakh crore"), so the true figure is at least that number. The chart joins three milestones and is not a monthly series.
• Read through press reports of the Ministry's statements (ANI for 7 August 2026, IANS for 6 April 2026, India Shipping News for 26 August 2025). The GeM and PIB pages themselves were not read.
