The EMD is ₹42,000. The scope emphasizes BIS Scheme II compliance and a mix of lighting fittings and associated accessories. The contract requires ISO 9001 credentials, OEM authorization where applicable, and a three-year turnover history. A 25% quantity option clause may be invoked, with fixed contracted rates across any extension period.
