India: Local procurement policy for government purchases

Announcement

24 May 2017

As part of its Make in India campaign, the Indian Union Cabinet of ministers approved a policy to provide preference to domestic goods and services procurement in government purchases. The policy provides preference to local suppliers defined as those whose goods and services meet minimum thresholds for local content. The distinction is only on local value addition and no restriction has been placed on the ownership of the supplier between local and foreign holding.
