Tender Overview
The South Coast Railway under Indian Railways calls for the purchase of stationary lead acid batteries with tubular positive plates, housed in a monobloc container (V2) and conforming to IS 13369 (Q3). This is a goods-only supply procurement, with the bidder responsible for delivering the specified battery assemblies to the railway location. The scope excludes installation services, focusing on the supply chain and delivery of compliant batteries. The key differentiator is IS 13369 (Q3) compliance and the Monobloc V2 container integration. This tender targets suppliers with proven manufacturing and QA capabilities for heavy-duty railway energy storage. Unique aspects include the tubular positive plate design and IS 13369 adherence, essential for rail operations.
