Enhancing Transparency and Efficiency Through Eauction-Based Eprocurement Systems in Public Sector Organizations of India

Abstract: Public procurement constitutes a significant part of Indian government spending while also serving as a vital element for managing public finances and fighting corruption. The Government of India has transformed public procurement processes through digital technologies which include eAuction-based eProcurement systems that operate through Government e-Marketplace (GeM) and Central Public Procurement Portal (CPPP) and various e-tendering systems used by different states. The study requires empirical evidence to assess how digital solutions have increased public sector organizations' transparency and operational efficiency. The research paper employs a descriptive-analytical approach which uses secondary data from 2017 to 2025 to conduct research in selected Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs). The study compares pre- and post-implementation results to evaluate transparency and competition and processing time and cost savings. The findings demonstrate significant advancements in transparency and competition and processing time and cost savings. The paper provides substantial evidence through quantitative research to demonstrate how eAuction-based procurement reforms have succeeded in India according to digital governance research.
