Northern Railway Industrial Kitchen Chimney Procurement 2026 – Central Government Tender for Commercial Kitchen Chimney Equipment

Tender Overview

The procurement is issued by Northern Railway (Indian Railways) for the Industrial Kitchen Chimney category, with scope limited to the supply of goods. The requirement enumerates multiple sub-assemblies and accessories, including chimney assemblies, blower body and blade materials, exhaust piping, filters, control panels, LED lighting, 3-meter exhaust/flexible pipe, oil pads, and remote control. The specification set covers capacity, motor RPM, blower size, voltage, and dimensional tolerances such as chimney height/length/width, suction and exhaust areas, and oil collector pad. A notable clause requires manufacturer authorization for suppliers (except Q1 & Q2 categories) and evidence of prior supply of similar products to government bodies. This tender emphasizes technical conformity with category-specific materials and design features while mandating compliance documentation.

Key differentiators include detailed material and dimension requirements (e.g., thickness of chimney sheet, lamp wattage, oil pad integration) and a procurement path that rewards verified prior government experience (20% of bid quantity in the last three financial years). The process is oriented toward safe, compliant, and fully-specified equipment suitable for railway kitchen environments.
