Mahila e-Haat 2026 — Free Online Marketplace for Women Entrepreneurs

What is Mahila e-Haat?

Mahila e-Haat is a unique direct online marketing platform launched by the Ministry of Women and Child Development through the Rashtriya Mahila Kosh (RMK) — exclusively for women entrepreneurs, women's Self-Help Groups (SHGs), and women-led NGOs/cooperatives to showcase and sell their handmade and unique products to buyers across India. The platform eliminates middlemen, ensuring that women retain maximum profits from their sales. Mahila e-Haat allows free listing — there is NO registration fee, listing fee, or commission charged by the government. The platform has onboarded 3 lakh+ women entrepreneurs since launch and supports products in 18+ categories: handicrafts, textile and clothing, jewellery, home decor, bags and accessories, ready-to-eat foods, organic produce, ayurvedic and herbal products, gift items, paintings and artwork, and more. Buyers transact directly with the seller via her contact details; Mahila e-Haat acts purely as a discovery platform.

Under this scheme, eligible beneficiaries receive FREE listing on government marketplace + direct buyer connect (no commission, no middlemen). The scheme was launched in 2016 and is implemented by the Government of India.
