The project scope appears to cover transport of machinery and equipment with an estimated contract value of ₹3,038,033 and an EMD of ₹60,761. The procurement favors flexible quantity/duration, with an ATC clause permitting ±25% adjustment in contract quantity or duration at contract issuance and any revised terms.
