Ease of Doing Business for MSMEs: BHEL Small and Medium Industries Association (Bhelsia), the association established by Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) vendors and suppliers, is evaluating cluster-based approach to increase the utility of MSME-friendly Defence Acquisition Procedure (DAP) 2020 and help revive sick MSME units as per a report by The Hindu.
In line with Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative, DAP enables the procurement and acquisition of upgraded technology, products and services for the Tri-Services and other allied defence services.
Under the economic support package for MSMEs, the union government doesn’t allow global tenders to bid for government procurement up to Rs 200 crore.
