Impact Analysis

Government Entities (Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, other Ministries/Departments)

  • Action Items: Review existing procurement processes and ensure compliance with the new instructions. Establish a process for documenting justifications for GTEs and obtaining necessary approvals. Publish 3/5 year procurement plan on website.

Educational and Research Institutes

  • Action Items: Educational and Research Institutes should make efforts towards reducing imports, promote technology transfer, and encourage technological collaboration with foreign manufacturers in India. Share information about equipment procurement across various Indian Institutes on a single portal (e.g., in-STEM portal). Interact regularly with academia and Indian industry organizations.

Domestic Manufacturers/Service Providers

  • Action Items: Participate in domestic tenders floated by government entities. Engage with DPIIT and relevant industrial bodies to showcase capabilities and explore collaboration opportunities.

Foreign Suppliers

  • Action Items: Explore opportunities for technology transfer and collaboration with Indian manufacturers. Focus on tenders above Rs 200 crore or specialized equipment where GTEs are still permitted.
