The legal instrument is the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade's (DPIIT) Public Procurement (Preference to Make in India) Order, 2017 (as amended, Order No. P-45021/2/2017-B.E.-II), which mandates a bid-evaluation preference margin (ordinarily a 20% purchase-preference margin over a 50% minimum local-content threshold for "Class-I local supplier" status) across central- and state-linked procurement, including railway-infrastructure bodies like MRVC (a joint venture of the Ministry of Railways and the Government of Maharashtra).
This filing records that standing order applied to an MRVC tender for carshed-expansion works at Kurla and Kalwa, announced 29 August 2025. Consistent with the companion NHAI/NHIDCL/UPMRC/BMRCL localisation-preference filings on this register, the specific tender's package scope, contract value, and affected-bidder list sit behind GTA's account-gated detail view and were not independently confirmed on MRVC's e-procurement portal within the available search budget.
Severity is set low (2), consistent with the companion road- and metro-tender filings: this is a routine, standing domestic-preference policy applied within a single infrastructure procurement, not a new trade barrier — it shifts bid-evaluation weighting toward Class-I local suppliers rather than excluding foreign bidders outright.
bidding into MRVC's Mumbai suburban-rail carshed packages face the same structural scoring disadvantage documented across NHAI/NHIDCL/UPMRC/BMRCL tenders elsewhere on this register.
carrying the same standing preference margin under the Atmanirbhar Bharat procurement posture — individually low severity, cumulatively indicative of how uniformly the policy is applied across India's rail and highway infrastructure pipeline.
