Dilli Bazaar to Launch with 10,000 Vendors

According toPTI,Dilli Bazaar will feature over 10,000 vendorsfrom across the state. For the uninitiated, Dilli Bazaar is the Delhi government’s ambitious effort to give its traders access to a global market. After starting off with 10,000 vendors, the government aims to onboard over one lakh Delhi shops to the portal. That’s planned to happen within a period of six months.

People will also be able toget virtual tours of the markets in Delhiand navigate the streets and shops of that market right from their homes.

While enrolling the merchants, the government says that the market association will verify their credentials. Furthermore, there will be an agency to oversee the operations of the e-portal. The government also claims that products listed on the portal will be more affordable than other e-commerce portals. Each merchant will also get a personalized storefront.

What’s worth noting here is thatDilli Bazaar will adopt the highly anticipatedOpen Network for Digital Commerce(ONDC) protocol. This should ensure that customers will see product listings from other participating e-commerce portals too. “This provision will help the shopkeepers of Delhi get a digital presence not just on the Dilli Bazaar portal but on various e-commerce portals opening a wide horizon of opportunities for them,”the statement said.

So, if you’re a Delhi resident who has physical access to these stores, would you consider the government’s e-portal for your shopping needs? Share your thoughts with us in the comments.
