Indian Army LV6 MT4 Lead Acid Battery Procurement Kangra Himachal Pradesh 12V 200Ah 88Ah 130Ah 2026

Tender Overview

The Indian Army, Department of Military Affairs, located in Kangra, Himachal Pradesh, invites bids for the supply of multiple lead-acid 12V batteries across various capacities (including 200Ah, 88Ah, 180Ah, 150Ah, 32Ah, and 130Ah) under LV6 MT4 and related COTS BSLA classifications. The project references a non-disclosed estimated value with an EMD of ₹269,630, and requires adherence to buyer-specified ATC clauses, with delivery to the COMDT address. A key differentiator is the mandatory advance sample approval within 5 days of award and subsequent design-drawings approval, with adjustments for any approved modifications. Pre-dispatch inspection by the BOARD OF OFFICERS may apply, and bulk supply must align to approved samples. The scope is clearly tied to militaryStores compliance and off-take through the COMDT channel, emphasizing conformity to sample-based acceptance and detailed drawings prior to manufacturing.
