India’s Government Procurement

India’s Government Procurement Market: Driving Growth and Innovation in 2024

India’s government procurement market continues to be a cornerstone of its economic activities, fostering infrastructure development, social welfare programs, and advancements in critical sectors. With an estimated ₹45 lakh crore in spending for the 2024/25 period, representing a 6% year-on-year increase, this market is pivotal in driving growth, supporting innovation, and fulfilling public service needs.

Key Highlights of the Indian Government Procurement Market in 2024

Sectoral Distribution of Procurement Spending

In 2024, the Indian government’s largest procurement spending areas include:

  • Infrastructure: ₹15 lakh crore
  • Defense: ₹6 lakh crore
  • Healthcare: ₹5 lakh crore
  • Renewable Energy and Sustainability: ₹3 lakh crore
  • Technology and Digital Transformation: ₹2 lakh crore

These allocations underscore India’s strategic focus on sustainable development, national security, and improving the quality of life for its citizens.

Support for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs)

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) remain integral to India’s procurement ecosystem. In 2024, MSMEs are expected to account for 30% of government procurement spending. This reflects the government’s commitment to empowering smaller businesses and promoting local manufacturing under initiatives like “Make in India” and “Atmanirbhar Bharat.”

Key policies favoring MSMEs include:

  • Mandatory sourcing of 25% of total procurement from MSMEs.
  • A 3% reservation for women entrepreneurs within the MSME category.

Rise of Digital Procurement Platforms

Digital platforms like the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) have transformed India’s procurement landscape. GeM enables transparent, efficient, and accessible procurement for buyers and sellers, significantly enhancing the ease of doing business.

Future Procurement Trends

India’s government procurement spending is projected to grow by 8% in 2025. Key drivers include:

  • Expansion of infrastructure projects.
  • Development of green energy capabilities.
  • Modernization in healthcare and defense.

Emerging opportunities lie in:

  • Artificial Intelligence (AI): Enhancing operational efficiency across sectors.
  • Renewable Energy: Investments in the National Hydrogen Mission and solar projects.
  • Smart Cities: Urban development with advanced technologies.

2024 Procurement Spending Breakdown

Government procurement is expected to contribute nearly 15% of India’s GDP in 2024. Significant investments include:

  • Infrastructure Projects: Bharatmala Pariyojana (₹1.5 lakh crore).
  • Defense Acquisitions: Fighter jets and naval vessels (₹50,000 crore).
  • Renewable Energy: National Hydrogen Mission (₹20,000 crore).
  • Smart Cities and Urban Development: (₹25,000 crore).

Procurement Metrics and Trends

  • Volume and Value: Over 1,50,000 contracts projected, exceeding ₹45 lakh crore in combined value.
  • Thresholds for Public Procurement: Varied based on project size and sector, advertised via platforms like GeM and the Central Public Procurement Portal (CPPP).

Private Sector Procurement in India

The private sector complements public procurement, with annual spending surpassing ₹100 lakh crore. Key characteristics include:

  • Sustainability Focus: Green supply chains and renewable energy adoption.
  • Efficiency: Increased use of digital procurement tools.

While public procurement emphasizes fairness and transparency, private procurement prioritizes cost-effectiveness and agility, with both converging on sustainability and innovation.

Conclusion

The Indian government procurement market in 2024 offers immense opportunities for businesses across diverse sectors. Companies aligning with government priorities in infrastructure, defense, healthcare, and renewable energy can unlock significant growth potential. Leveraging digital platforms like GeM and staying abreast of procurement trends are essential strategies for success.

100 fast EV Charging Stations In India

EV Charging Stations in India.

Scope : To Set up 100 fast EV charging corridors having 2,000 stations in India.

Public sector oil marketing company Bharat Petroleum will invest around Rs 200 crore this fiscal to set up 100 fast electric vehicles charging corridors having 2,000 stations along the busiest 100 national highways.

The second corridor will come up on the Kochi-Salem section of the National Highway 47 within the next two months.

In case a charging unit does not need a booster transformer, such a unit which will be a full-fledged centre offering rest rooms, refreshments/food court, among other amenities can be ready at a cost varying from Rs 7-12 lakh, and if the unit needs a transformer then the cost will go up to Rs 25 lakh.

Given this cost variance, They have budgeted for around Rs 200 crore investment this fiscal as they plan to set up as many as 2,000 fast charging stations across 100 corridors by March 2023.

The third corridor will most probably be the Mumbai-Bengaluru National Highway 4, and will have multiple units as the highway has amongst the highest traffic.

The national oil refiner and marketer, which is the second largest player with close to 30 per cent retail market in petrol and diesel, hopes that the EV ecosystem will grow faster than forecast earlier, and the company wants to play a big role in setting up the basic infrastructure for this ambitious drive.
