In brief
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited Portal(BSNL) has invited bids for diesel Power Generator (V2), in All India.
The work is worth about ₹36,90,474 (a value we've verified against the official document). As a rough guide, typical electrical costs would run near ₹30,63,093, leaving roughly ₹4,05,952–₹7,38,095 (11–20%) — but that's a category estimate, not this tender's actual costs, so price from the official BOQ before you bid. You'll need to block ₹73,809 as a refundable deposit (EMD) just to bid — that's about 2% of the contract, returned if you don't win.
On the smaller side, so even lean outfits with licensed electrical crews and properly tested, BIS-marked materials can compete. On our rough estimate the margin looks healthy enough to absorb the usual surprises. The main thing you must have to bid is minimum average annual turnover of ₹12 Lakh, plus past experience required: 3 Year (s).
