Tender Overview
The Indian Army, Department of Military Affairs, invites bids for a Battery Secondary Lead Acid MT Type (Defence) procurement. The tender lists an EMD of ₹16,980 and requires DGQA registration for MT Battery defence with material specifications for container and lid, separator type, and battery rating/capacity details. A functional service centre in the consignee state is required for carry-in warranties, or on-site warranty suffices. An advance sample approval is mandatory within 5 days of award, with buyer feedback within 7 days; bulk supply follows only after sample conformity. The scope emphasizes compliance with defence-grade standards and post-award testing, with pre-dispatch or post-receipt inspection options. The tender stresses turnover criteria and documentary evidence for three-year financials, typical for defence procurement. The absence of a BOQ indicates a tightly defined, specification-driven purchase.
