The legal instrument is the same standing DPIIT Public Procurement (Preference to Make in India) Order, 2017 (as amended, most recently effective 16 September 2020), issued under Rule 153(iii) of the General Financial Rules 2017, that underlies the broader family of Indian localisation-preference filings in this register (e.g. [[2025-08-27-india-nfr-manipur-tunnel-localisation-preference]]). Central PSUs — here DVC, a Ministry of Power statutory corporation generating and distributing power across the Damodar Valley region of West Bengal and Jharkhand — must align tender conditions with the Order; where a nodal ministry has declared sufficient local capacity in a category, only Class-I local suppliers (minimum local-content threshold, typically paired with a purchase-preference margin of up to 20%) are eligible or favoured regardless of tender value. This filing records one further instance of that standing order applied to a specific tender: a two-million-tonne coal-lifting and transport contract, i.e. a logistics/land-transport services procurement rather than a civil-works contract, distinguishing it from the road/rail/tunnel construction tenders that dominate this filing family. GTA's underlying bid documents and contract value sit behind an account-gated view; only the implementing agency, tender reference, quantity, and measure category were confirmed independently.
