Public Procurement (Preference to Make in India): Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how the government prioritizes local manufacturers in public tenders and the requirements for proving local content.
This scheme provides a framework that allows the government to prioritize products manufactured within the country during the public purchasing process.
Who it's for
This scheme is designed for procurement officers who are responsible for evaluating bids and managing government tenders.
What you get
It provides a structured way to give preference to suppliers who demonstrate a significant amount of local content in their goods or services during government procurement cycles.
What it costs you
There is no direct monetary fee mentioned, but suppliers must undergo a process of self-certification to verify the amount of local content in their products.
The catch to know
You must be extremely precise when calculating your local content percentages, as these figures are frequently subject to official audits to ensure accuracy.
How to apply
- Determine the local content percentage for your product.
- Prepare the necessary self-certification documentation.
- Ensure all calculations meet the specific requirements of the tender.
- Submit your bid through the relevant government procurement channel.
