Government Allows Four Chinese-Linked Power Equipment Firms to Join Public Project Tenders in India.

India has allowed four Chinese-linked power equipment manufacturers with production facilities in the country to participate in government tenders for critical power projects, according to a Ministry of Finance order reviewed by Reuters.

The order, dated June 24, grants exemptions to TBEA Energy, Nanjing Electric India, New Northeast Electric India and Taikai Electric (India), allowing them to bid for government contracts related to critical power infrastructure.

The exemption follows a request made by the Ministry of Power in January for entities with manufacturing units in India that are involved in critical power projects, the document said.
