RBI revises local office rule for Delhi X-ray scanner tender
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has issued a corrigendum to its tender for two X-ray baggage scanners at its Main Office Building in New Delhi, relaxing the local presence requirement. The original clause required bidders to have had an office in the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi for at least one year. The revised clause now only demands an office in the NCT of Delhi or satellite towns, Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, and Faridabad, on the date of bid submission, with no prior one-year mandate.
In a separate tender, RBI Jaipur invited bids for a similar X-ray baggage scanner system at its Main Office Building, with an estimated cost of Rs 13,50,000. The e-tender opens on October 1, 2026, and closes on November 12, 2026. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for October 15, 2026, and techno-commercial bids will be opened on November 13, 2026.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both sources are official RBI tender notices published on rbi.org.in, and both are neutral-report, straight procedural documents. The Delhi corrigendum is the newersworthy item because it revises an eligibility condition mid-bid: it drops the one-year prior presence requirement and expands the acceptable geography to include Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram and Faridabad. The Jaipur tender is a fresh standard invitation. Together they show routine central bank procurement activity with no editorial framing. The key point to watch is whether the relaxed Delhi condition draws more bidders before the November 12, 2026, closing date for Jaipur, though the Delhi tender's own deadline is not stated in the corrigendum.
