Tender247 brings Anupam Kher on board to expand access to India’s Rs 70 Lakh Cr tender market

India's tender economy is vast, digital and fragmented. Tender247 is making it more accessible through a familiar face, helping more businesses see, understand and compete for it.

India's biggest customer is the Government of India, and it does not have a single storefront. It has hundreds of portals.

The World Bank estimates public procurement at roughly 20% of India's GDP, putting the wider opportunity at about Rs 70 lakh crore. Government e Marketplace (GeM) alone, the portal through which ministries, PSUs and departments buy everything from stationery to steel, completed 10 years this August with Rs 20 lakh crore in cumulative purchases. Its annual buying rose from Rs 422 crore in its first full year to more than Rs 5 lakh crore in each of the last two. GeM took over eight years to reach its first Rs 10 lakh crore, and less than two to reach the next.

GeM is only one channel. Defence procurement alone stands at Rs 6.81 lakh crore in the FY26 budget, while infrastructure capital expenditure is Rs 11.21 lakh crore, much of it routed through other systems. Central tenders above Rs 25 lakh appear on CPPP. Railways uses IREPS. Defence has defproc.gov.in. States use portals under GePNIC, while PSUs such as Coal India, NTPC, and Indian Oil publish separately.

Financial rules require e-procurement above a threshold, but they do not require one common portal. By tender trackers' estimates, a serious bidder must watch more than 30 portals, each with its own login, search logic, and deadlines.
