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 metro-rail corporations like BMRCL (a Government of India / Government of Karnataka joint venture).
This filing records that standing order applied to a BMRCL construction tender announced 2 September 2025. Consistent with the companion NHAI/NHIDCL/UPMRC localisation-preference filings on this register, the specific tender's route/package, contract value, and affected-partner list sit behind GTA's account-gated detail view and were not independently confirmed on BMRCL'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 BMRCL's Bangalore Metro civil packages face the same structural scoring disadvantage documented across NHAI/NHIDCL/UPMRC tenders elsewhere on this register.
(NHAI, NHIDCL, UPMRC, and now BMRCL) 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 urban-rail and highway infrastructure pipeline.
