Navigating the Make in India Policy in Public Procurement
The Public Procurement (Preference to Make in India) Order issued by the DPIIT governs how central and state government agencies, PSUs, and autonomous bodies award contracts. Under this policy, domestic manufacturers receive significant purchase preferences and exclusive tender reservations.
However, interpreting complex circulars, calculating exact domestic value addition, choosing between Class-I (50%+) and Class-II (20%-50%) categories, and formatting compliance documents without errors requires specialized expertise. Our dedicated Make in India consultant support ensures your manufacturing business meets every legal threshold and leverages maximum tender benefits.
