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 central public-sector undertakings such as NEEPCO.
This filing records that standing order applied to a NEEPCO civil-works tender for the Heo Hydro Electric Project, announced 8 January 2026. The underlying project is the same 240 MW run-of-river scheme (West Siang / Shi Yomi district, Arunachal Pradesh) covered by the companion electro-mechanical-works filing (2026-01-09-india-neepco-heo-hep-localisation-preference), but this is a distinct GTA intervention for a distinct work package (civil works — RCC abutments, wing walls and allied structures — rather than electro-mechanical equipment). Consistent with the other NHAI/NHIDCL/UPMRC/BMRCL localisation-preference filings on this register, the exact local-content percentage and preference-margin rate applied to this specific tender were not disclosed in public summaries; severity is set qualitatively at the standard level used for single-tender DPIIT Make-in-India preference filings.
