5. IDDM will be "Recommended "mandatory if 2 or more IDDM vendors Are able to meet SQR If only one is able to meet the IDDM will be recommend and treated as "Ab-initio"which means from the very beginning as single vendor++ 4/n

++but it should be TRL (Technology Readiness Level) 6 to 9 TRL 6 → Prototype demonstrated in relevant environment TRL 9 → Proven system, fully operational This condition ensures the product is not experimental or risky. 5/n

6. Buy Indian and Manufacture in India if no IDDM vendor meets the SQR 7. Buy global and Manufacture in india to be recommended if only foreign OEM are meeting the SQR 8. Else Buy global directly 6/n

Developmental 1. MAKE 1 categories where gov will fund the development and making of prototype as per AoN 2. MAKE 2 will be industry funded and no gov support 3. MAKE 3 the sub assembly ,work and MRO to be done by India vendors these are (already designed and developed ) 7/n
