Indian Army Patiala Defence Electronics Tender 2026: Digital Voltmeter, Regulator, Solenoid, Relay with 5-Day Service Penalty 2026

Tender Overview

The procurement is issued by the Indian Army, Department of Military Affairs, for a set of electrical and electronic components including a digital voltmeter, regulator, solenoid switch, adjustable resistor, relay switch and related coil set items. The procurement location is Patiala, Punjab and involves a multi-item BOM with a combined procurement scope across seven listed items. A key differentiator is the requirement for prior performance certification from any defence sector, plus a sample approval before bid opening. The package appears to emphasize Defence-grade supply with strict servicing timelines and post-warranty rectification expectations, alongside a non-disclosure undertaking. The estimated value and EMD are not published, but the contract references a 5-day service window and penalty mechanics, indicating a defensible, time-bound delivery expectation.
