Central govt eases rules for buying scientific equipment, consumables by R&D institutes
The Political and Business Daily
|June 16, 2025
IN the wake of demands from researchers, the government has enhanced financial limits for the procurement of scientific instruments and consumables by various scientific institutions, including those pursuing research in the defence sector, and also allowed them to look beyond the GeM portal for making such purchases.
-
The existing financial rules mandated procurement of equipment of less than Rs 200 crore only through the government e-marketplace (GeM) portal and from local producers to encourage the domestic manufacturing sector.
However, various scientists and researchers faced hindrances due to these rules as several high-end research equipment were not available on the GeM portal.
