Uttar Pradesh Sees 15% Rise in GeM Registrations, Boosting MSME Participation
Uttar Pradesh's Government e-Marketplace (GeM) registrations rose 15% to 786,687 firms in 2025-26, adding over 1 lakh new sellers. Growth was notable among Micro and Small Enterprises, women entrepreneurs, SC-ST groups, and startups.
