Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSEs) can access several special provisions under this tender, such as reduced processing fees and simplified compliance requirements. These benefits are designed to promote inclusivity in public procurement and encourage innovation by supporting emerging businesses aligned with government initiatives. Compliance with the ‘Make in India’ policy and adherence to local content requirements will further enhance their bidding prospects.
