Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has issued an open tender for the supply of an elevator for its Koderma project, creating a new procurement opportunity for elevator manufacturers and suppliers in India.
According to the official BHEL tender portal, the tender has been issued by BHEL’s Trichy unit under notification number GEM/2026/B/8113708. The tender was published on 5 October 2026 and is classified as an open tender.
Tender Timeline
Interested bidders have until 13 October 2026 at 5:00 PM to participate, with the submission window closing immediately thereafter. BHEL has scheduled the opening of the tender for 14 October 2026 at 5:00 PM.
The tender listing identifies the requirement specifically as the “Supply of Elevator for Koderma Project.” BHEL has not disclosed a tender value on the public listing.
Opportunity for the Elevator Industry
The tender represents another institutional procurement opportunity for the Indian elevator sector, particularly for companies supplying equipment for large infrastructure, industrial and power-sector projects.
BHEL is one of India’s major engineering and manufacturing enterprises, with operations spanning power generation, transmission, transportation, defence and industrial infrastructure.
Importantly, the current announcement relates only to the tendering stage. No elevator supplier or manufacturer has been awarded the contract at this point, based on the information published by BHEL.
The eventual selection of a supplier will therefore depend on the completion of BHEL’s procurement and evaluation process.
