Software policy’s new registry to be integrated with govt’s e-marketplace

The National Policy on Software Products has proposed setting up a registry for such companies that will be integrated with the government’s e-marketplace (GeM).

The policy, a copy of which was seen by Business Standard, has proposed creating an Indian software product registry through industry ownership. This will be a common pool, creating a trusted trade environment.

The registry will be integrated with the GeM and will also provide necessary handholding for marketing.
