Source and methodology
Tender notices published on the NIC eProcurement platform, counted in the financial year the notice belongs to, as NIC's own Tender Report 1 reports them. This counts tender notices on the NIC eProcurement platform (GePNIC) and its portal instances. It is not GeM, which is a marketplace and counts orders, not tenders, and whose figures this site states once, in the data note. FY2007-08 is the platform's first, part year and carries 8 tenders. FY2026-27 is still running at this reading and is drawn open, not solid.
