India tenders a large pipeline of roads, rail, water, power and urban projects every year, but eligibility rules favour bidders with Indian track record. We help you close that gap quickly and bid where you can win.
What usually gets in the way
- Eligibility criteria that ask for completed works of similar size in India
- Local-content rules that score imported equipment and services lower
- Payment and delay terms that differ from those you are used to
- Too many tenders to read, and no clear view of which are worth bidding
- Uncertainty over whether to set up a subsidiary, a project office or a joint venture
How we help
- Tender screening. We filter the pipeline in your segment to the tenders that fit your credentials, and give a bid or no-bid view on each
- Partner and consortium. We find Indian partners whose track record completes yours, and structure the consortium
- Entry vehicle and approvals. We set up the right vehicle and clear the registrations you need to bid
- Bid and contract. We support bid preparation and review the contract terms with your lawyers
