As an apparel manufacturer, if one wishes to supply goods to various Government departments and agencies, it is must to register with National Public Procurement Portal, Government e-Marketplace (GeM) (https://gem.gov.in).
It is a digital e-commerce portal, from where all supplies to Government will be routed.
After the Textile Ministry advised the manufacturers to register with Government portal, many apparel manufacturers are now in the process to do the same.
Raja M. Shanmugam, President, Tirupur Exporters Association (TEA), said “We have requested all our members to register in Portal and gain business out of it.”
It is pertinent to mention here that product categories like emporium products show 4,925 results on this portal and personal safety kit reflective luminous garments show 1,019 results – while few product categories have very few results (some even in single-digit) only.
It shows that apart from other product segments, there are good opportunities to get business in these specific product categories.
