PVVNL parallel tenders keep Power transformer contracts focused on BIS supply
Power transformer contracts in PVVNL's latest procurement are running through two parallel tender tracks for 63 KVA and 100 KVA Level-1 BIS distribution transformers. Tender No. PVVNL-MT/MM/14/26-27 covers 8,305 units of 11/0.4 KV 100 KVA transformers. Tender No. PVVNL-MT/MM/13/26-27 covers the companion 63 KVA package with a separate BOQ and technical schedule.
The tenders follow online multi-part bidding with IEEMA price variation, EMD, performance security, inspection and quality assurance provisions. The 100 KVA units must include LT busbar-side arrangement, external HT fuse unit and oil-immersed LT internal circuit breaker. The 63 KVA package follows similar standards adjusted for rating.
PVVNL extended bid-opening schedules through corrigenda, while retaining qualification conditions, delivery obligations and commercial securities. This means the changes were administrative, not a reversal of procurement policy. The parallel design also supports consistent procurement control across capacities and gives suppliers larger planning visibility within PVVNL's transformer buying cycle. EnergylineIndia.com notes that Power transformer contracts remain part of a wider Distribution infrastructure tender programme for network strengthening. Power transformer contracts under this model reward manufacturers with testing capability, BIS compliance and documentation discipline. Power transformer contracts will be watched for price discovery once financial bid records and award recommendations become available.
