    Himachal’s own branded products such as Kangra miniature paintings, Chamba rumaals, Lahauli socks, Kullu shawls, juices, Ayurvedic and herbal medicines, woollens, Pashmina shawls etc can now be bought on the internet.

    Himachal government is launching http://himachalproducts.com for global showcasing, promotion and real-time offerings of the products mentioned above.

    The idea was conceived by the Deputy Commissioners and Commissioner, Mandi Division to provide technological edge to producers and manufacturers at a nominal cost.

    The objective of the website is to offer entrepreneurs, government undertakings, fruit and vegetable growers and processors, artisans, self-help groups and co-operative societies, handicraft and handloom makers, unique service providers of the state, an equal opportunity to offer and sell globally.

    Another innovative feature of this portal is to offer quality services to customers worldwide such as Hotel reservation, transport, and airline booking services etc., making the portal a one stop destination.

    Though Tamil Nadu, Goa and Sikkim too have similar kind of websites, however, Himachalproducts.com is a first of its kind in the country, as products and services are offered on the same platform. Moreover, the portal will be self-sustaining as part of the revenues earned will be spent by the Deputy Commissioners on empowering the self help groups.

    One time registration charges, during the first year, for the same will be as under:

    • Medium and Large Scale Units: Rs. 5000+12.24% S.T=Rs. 5612/-
    • All Government Organizations: Rs.3000 +12.24% ST = Rs.3367/-
    • There are no commission/processing fees on the trading and no other hidden charges apart from the amount stated above.
