Bhilai Steel Plant Silico Manganese Tender 11000 MT 10-50MM IS 60% Mn 15% Si 2026

Tender Overview

Bhilai Steel Plant, part of Steel Authority of India Limited, invites bids for the supply of LOW PHOS SILICO MANGANESE totaling 11,000 MT in the 10-50 MM size range. The delivery location is DURG, CHHATTISGARH 490001. The item requires precise chemical composition: Mn 60% min, Si 15% min, C 2.2% max, P 0.1% max, S 0.03% max, with a maximum tolerance on size and fractions including (+)70 MM NIL and (+)50 MM up to 5%, and 25% for 10 MM to 25 MM. The tender imposes penalty for deviations from specified composition and size, and mandates test reports on demand. An EMD of ₹3,500,000 accompanies the bid. The procurement is framed as a bulk steel alloy supply contract with strict quality, packing, and documentation requirements. This opportunity targets suppliers capable of meeting IS-like chemical constraints and batch-wise product traceability. Unique aspects include detailed penalty clauses for Mn, Si, C, P, S deviations and size distribution, plus mandatory providing all relevant test reports at bid or supply.
