Scientific research is required to have a clear understanding of the current trends, particularly when it comes to a nation that produces a lot, like India. This study seeks to determine how perception, organisational size, and purchasing environment have an impact on the adoption of e-procurement in Indian assembly SMEs. Because it calls for the use of electronic media and avoids the extensive use of paper and printing, e-procurement falls under the category of green purchasing. The results show that e-procurement adoption by small and medium-sized businesses in India is unaffected by perceptions, organisational size, or purchasing conditions. Despite the fact that they frequently look for suppliers online and via email, when it comes to actual purchasing, they prefer traditional modes of procurement. An intensely personal relationship between the buyer and seller defines the procurement process. As a result, online procurement has not become widely used by India's small businesses in the assembling industry.
