NEW DELHI: It is now mandatory for the metro rail companies to procure minimum 75 per cent of train cars and 25 per cent of critical equipment from within the country, a norm made compulsory under the 'Make in India' campaign.
The Urban Development Ministry has incorporated these mandatory conditions in the metro companies' tender documents which have been circulated to them, making the new norms effective immediately.
At present, it is not mandatory for the companies to procure metro train cars manufactured in India.
Minimum 75 per cent of the tendered quantity of metro cars should be manufactured indigenously for which the suppliers may either establish independent manufacturing facility in India or partner with Indian manufacturers, provided the procurement is more than 100 cars, as per the new tender document.
