Delhi govt asks departments not to issue global tenders up to Rs 200 cr

Following the Central government's amendments to the General Financial Rules (GFR), the Delhi government has asked all its departments to not issue global tenders up to Rs 200 crore.

In an order, the Delhi Finance Department forwarded the Central government's amendment for "information and necessary action".

Last week, the Union Finance Department notified the amendments to the General Financial Rules, 2017 to ensure that henceforth global tenders will be disallowed in government procurement up to Rs 200 crore, as announced in the 'Aatma Nirbhar Bharat' Package.
