  • 13 May 2026

On 12th May 2026, the government-backed DigiHaat announced the launch of ‘Swadeshi’, a dedicated marketplace for promoting authentic “Made-in-Bharat” products and strengthening local production ecosystems.

  • The initiative has been launched in line with the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat through Swadeshi-driven commerce.
  • Owned by the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), the platform enables consumers to directly purchase products from artisans, farmer groups, self-help groups, NGOs and Indian brands.
  • The marketplace features Bharat-made products across categories such as food grains, seed products, apparel, handicrafts, home décor and bags.
  • According to DigiHaat, over 2,000 artisans and more than 1,100 farmer groups from across India are already connected to the platform.
  • The initiative aims to emerge as a national marketplace based on the principle of “Bharat Se, Bharat Tak”.
  • In April 2026, DigiHaat also launched metro ticketing services in regions including Delhi-NCR, Mumbai and Bengaluru.
  • The platform crossed 2 million downloads and built a community of over 30,000 users during the same month.
  • DigiHaat also provides services such as food delivery, ride-hailing and e-commerce through partner networks including Bharat Taxi and Namma Yatri.
  • DigiHaat operates as a wholly owned subsidiary within the ONDC ecosystem under Nirmit Bharat, a Section 8 not-for-profit entity.
