It said interested applicants are requested to submit their responses to the RFP on the central public procurement portal (eprocure. gov. in) before September 8, 2020 at 12:00 PM. it added a consulting agency will be selected on (LCS) Least Cost Selection process.
The government issued Public Procurement (Preference to Make in India) Order, 2017 on June 15, 2017, to promote production of goods and services in India and enhance income and employment in the country. The order aims at incentivizing production linked through local content requirements to encourage domestic manufacturer's participation in public procurement activities over entities merely importing to trade or assemble items.
