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.

Computed here from the two financial-year series and printed by no source: the percentage change from the previous financial year. The early years are a platform being rolled out, so their growth rates are enormous and not comparable with the later ones.

Computed by BidSaarthi Research from NIC eProcurement dashboard series · as of 9 September 2026

Source and methodology

Computed here and printed by no source: each group's tenders published as a share of the two groups added together, financial year by financial year, and the same for estimated value. The central-and-PSU group is NIC's own central and public-sector portal scopes; the state group is the state and union-territory instances. The two shares add to 100 in every one of the sixteen years, and the groups add back to the platform total within 0.1 per cent in a closed year. The mean tender in the table is the group's value divided by its count for the latest completed year. 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.

Source and methodology

The solid line is NIC's own stated average. The dashed line is the same quantity computed here from bids received divided by tenders published — two readings that are not computed from each other and that agree to two decimal places in every recent year. 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. The vertical axis does not start at zero: the figure has lived between 2.30 and 2.95 for a decade and a zero-based axis would show fourteen identical years. FY2026-27 is still running.

The four intervals are NIC's own figures and add to 102; NIC's separately printed notice-to-award average for the same year is 103. The second panel is that notice-to-award average for every completed year since 2012-13. Limited and other tender types run on their own clocks and are not drawn.

Computed by BidSaarthi Research from NIC eProcurement dashboard series · as of 9 September 2026

Source and methodology

Computed here and printed by no source as a series: tenders cancelled in a financial year as a share of tenders published in it, both from NIC's own dashboard counts for the whole platform. The table also carries the share with retenders added. The check: for the one year NIC prints that combined share itself, this arithmetic gives the same 6 per cent. 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. The platform's first three years are omitted as shares of a pilot. FY2026-27 is still running and is drawn open.

A financial year runs from April to March. Annual headlines use the latest completed financial year. A dagger and open mark identify a period still running. A cross marks an unavailable monthly observation; it never means zero.

Public sources

The NIC eProcurement dashboard and Central Public Procurement Portal monthly newsletters. Monthly chart tables name the actual source and date of every observation. The latest dashboard reading is 9 September 2026.

Reading and reusing the data

Select a period to see all its series, or use the Previous and Next value controls. The full accessible table and CSV retain every available observation, including history outside the initial view. Computed figures identify their arithmetic in Source and methodology.

Refresh cadence

Newsletters are reviewed monthly and the dashboard quarterly, in January, April, July and October. Publication dates, source dates and reporting intervals are kept distinct. Refreshes are accompanied by a data note.
