State e-Procurement Portals in India: Full List (2026)

Short answer: Almost every Indian state and union territory publishes its e-tenders on its own instance of NIC's GePNIC system, at addresses such as mahatenders.gov.in (Maharashtra), etender.up.nic.in (Uttar Pradesh) or wbtenders.gov.in (West Bengal). Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Gujarat and Bihar run their own e-procurement systems instead. Central government tenders are on CPPP (eprocure.gov.in), and goods and services are also bought on GeM. You register separately on each portal and use a Class 3 DSC to bid.

How are e-procurement portals organised in India?

Public buying in India is spread across several layers, and each has its own portal:

• Central government: the Central Public Procurement Portal (CPPP) publishes tenders of ministries, departments and many central PSUs, and its e-procurement side receives bids. See our CPPP step-by-step guide.
• States and UTs: each state or UT runs an e-procurement portal for its departments, boards, corporations and local bodies.
• Large PSUs and special systems: defence, railways and several PSUs run their own e-procurement portals.
• GeM: the Government e-Marketplace, where government buyers purchase goods and services through catalogue orders, bids and reverse auctions. Our GeM vs CPPP comparison explains when each applies.

The common thread is GePNIC, the Government eProcurement System of the National Informatics Centre (NIC). It runs CPPP, most state and UT portals and several PSU portals. NIC's GePNIC site keeps the official list of state and UT portals, which is the best place to confirm an address if a link ever changes. If you are new to all this, read what e-tendering is in India first.

What is the e-tender portal of each state and UT?

The table below lists the official portal for each state and UT. GePNIC addresses are taken from NIC's GePNIC portal list; addresses for the five states on other systems are the ones those states' own departments name in their tender notices. We checked that every link opened on the date shown at the top of this post. Where a state portal opens on a home page, the tender search is in the "Tenders" or "Active Tenders" menu.

Andaman and Nicobar Islands is listed on NIC's GePNIC map, but its portal did not load when we checked, so we have not linked it here; use the GePNIC state list to reach it.

Rajasthan also runs the Rajasthan State Public Procurement Portal (SPPP), where state procuring entities publish procurement information; bids themselves are submitted on eproc.rajasthan.gov.in.

Which states do not use NIC GePNIC?

Five states have their own e-procurement platforms. The look, registration steps and DSC setup differ from GePNIC, so read each portal's bidder manual before your first bid.

What are the central and PSU e-procurement portals?

Many other PSUs, state undertakings, municipal corporations and universities publish notices on their own websites or on separate e-procurement systems. Our guides to finding government tenders and the top tender websites in India cover those sources.

How does registration work on state GePNIC portals?

Because all GePNIC portals share one design, registration is almost identical everywhere, but each portal keeps its own accounts. An account on mahatenders.gov.in does not work on mptenders.gov.in or on CPPP.

1. Get a Class 3 DSC first. You need it to complete enrolment. Our DSC for e-tender guide explains signing vs encryption certificates and which to buy.
2. Open "Online Bidder Enrollment" on the state portal and enter your organisation details, a contact person, an email ID (which becomes your login ID) and a mobile number.
3. Log in for the first time and change your password when asked.
4. Insert the DSC token and register the signing certificate against your account.
5. Complete your profile and keep the bidder manual and help desk number for that portal handy.
6. Repeat on every portal where your buyers publish.

Each portal also sets its own rules on tender fees, EMD payment (online, bank guarantee or exemption) and any portal charges, so read the tender document rather than assuming the rules match another state. If you are an MSE, check the exemptions in our MSME benefits guide.

Which portals should I watch for my business?

Start from your buyers, not from the map:

• Works contractors mostly need their home state's portal, neighbouring states, and CPPP for central works. Defence works appear on defproc.
• Suppliers of standard goods will find many central and state requirements on GeM, with larger or custom purchases on CPPP and state portals.
• Services firms (IT, manpower, consulting, facility management) bid across CPPP, GeM, state portals and PSU portals.
• Specialist manufacturers often sell to PSUs, so the relevant PSU portals and registration as an approved vendor matter as much as any state portal.

A small firm in one state might watch three or four portals; a firm selling nationally can easily need fifteen or more.

How do I keep track of so many portals?

Checking dozens of portals by hand every day is slow, and tenders get missed. A workable routine:

1. Make a list of the portals your buyers use, with your login ID for each and the DSC you registered.
2. Search by keywords and organisation on each portal at least every second working day; most GePNIC portals also let you browse tenders by organisation and by closing date.
3. Turn on alerts where the portal offers them, but do not rely on email alone; NIC itself advises bidders to keep visiting the portal until the due date.
4. Record each tender you shortlist with its portal, tender ID, closing date and corrigenda, so amendments are not missed. See our corrigendum guide.
5. Renew your DSC before expiry and re-register it on every portal in your list.

Or use a service that brings notices from many sources into one search and links you back to the official portal to bid.

How Grovia Tender does this

Grovia Tender brings tenders from many sources into one place, and every notice links back to the official portal, so you always bid where the buyer published. For each tender it checks eligibility against your Company DNA and Document Vault, showing the evidence for each criterion, calculates Win Potential, and Get bid-ready lists the proofs still missing. AI drafts are traceable to your own documents.

Grovia Tender never submits, signs or prices for you: you approve every bid and submit it on the portal with your own DSC. Plans: Free ₹0, Pro ₹3,999/month, Business ₹14,999/month, pay-per-bid from ₹1,999 (GST extra). See features, how it works and pricing.

Frequently asked questions

Which is the e-procurement portal of my state? Most states and union territories run their own instance of NIC's GePNIC system, usually at an address ending in /nicgep/app, such as mahatenders.gov.in for Maharashtra or etender.up.nic.in for Uttar Pradesh. A few states, including Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Gujarat and Bihar, use their own systems. The table in this guide lists each official address.

What is NIC GePNIC? GePNIC is the Government eProcurement System of the National Informatics Centre. It powers the Central Public Procurement Portal (eprocure.gov.in), most state and UT e-procurement portals and several PSU portals, so the screens and steps look almost the same across them.

Is one registration valid on all state e-procurement portals? No. Each portal keeps its own bidder accounts, so you enrol separately on every state, central or PSU portal where you want to bid, and register your Class 3 DSC on each one.

Do state portals list every tender issued in that state? Not always. Central departments and many central PSUs publish on CPPP or their own portals, goods and services are often bought on GeM, and some state undertakings and municipal bodies also publish on their own websites. Check every source your buyers use.

Can I view tenders on a state portal without registering? Yes. Notices, dates and basic details are public on GePNIC and most other state portals. You need an account and a Class 3 DSC to download documents on many portals and to submit a bid.
