An order count gives every transaction equal weight

A micro or small enterprise counted toward 68% of executed orders, regardless of the value of each purchase. Its group generated 47.1% of merchandise value. Dividing value share by order share implies an average order value about 69% of the platform-wide average for this group, based on rounded aggregate shares. Source 1

Some groups overlap

The release separately records order values for women-led and SC/ST micro and small enterprises. They sit inside the broader micro and small enterprise measure. The categories can overlap, so adding them to the overall figure would overstate the amount. Source 1

Services are a substantial part of the platform

The November 2025 snapshot reports ₹7.94 lakh crore of services and ₹8.47 lakh crore of products since launch. Services account for approximately 48% of the combined reported value to that date. The snapshot includes earlier years and cannot be used as the FY 2025/26 split. Source 2

What GeM records about public buying

GeM supports steps from vendor registration to purchasing and receipt of goods or services. The reported GMV measures the value of orders on this marketplace. The series covers a specific government procurement channel and says nothing by itself about other procurement channels or ultimate vendor payment timing. Source 2 Source 1
