Tender Overview
South Central Railway invites bids for the supply of Open Type Galvanized Thimbles sized 25 mm as per IS:2315 for steel wire rope lifting tackles used on EOT cranes. Quantity: 50 Nos. Location: Krishna, Andhra Pradesh 520001. The scope is strictly the supply of goods, with material testing certificates required.

Bidders must align with the option clause allowing up to 25% quantity variation and delivery timelines linked to the original order. The tender emphasizes verification by the buyer’s lab via Material Test Certificates. GST considerations are bidder-specific and invoice must be in the consignee’s name with the consignee GSTIN.
