Power transformer contracts
TANGEDCO has invited bids for 6637 energy-efficient 40 kVA distribution transformers under Specification M-188/2025-26, with strict BIS IS1180 compliance and EEL-1 efficiency. The Rs 100 crore tender’s framework — two- packet bidding, long-term PBG, and new vendor inclusion — reflects a maturing procurement architecture for power transformer contracts in India.
The new structure eliminates legacy inspection procedures, anchors payment through GeM’s CRAC system, and extends vendor qualification to OEMs meeting BIS norms.
This hybrid of discipline and digital transparency marks a major step toward unified national templates for power transformer contracts.
Experts see the model as a foundation for wider GeM adoption in utility procurements.
