The study has examined e-NAM, commodities traded, stakeholders, and APMCs in various states using data from government publications, scholarly journals, newspapers, and internet articles &data pertains to November 2024. Descriptive statistics are used to understand the significance of e-NAM development in addressing its advancement, performance, and issues. The e-NAM system in India has 1389 APMCs listed, with Tamil Nadu leading with 157 APMCs, accounting for 11.30%. Rajasthan has the highest number of mandis involved in online trading, followed by Uttar Pradesh with 94(19.22 %). Haryana, Gujarat, and Madhya Pradesh are also significant mandis involved in online trading. Several states and UTs, including Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Assam, Jharkhand, Kerala, Nagaland Pondicherry, and Tripura, are not involved in online trading. Currently, about 221 commodities are trading in e-NAM, including 35 food grains, 45 fruits, 59 vegetables, 16 spices, and 52 other commodities.
