Procurement pathway · Sita Ram Defence Products
From RFQ to release

A structured pathway, designed for defence buyers.

We have built our procurement engagement around the way the Armed Forces, DRDO, DPSUs and licensed primes actually buy. Eight stages, defined exit criteria at each, and a desk that responds within one working day.

Frequently asked

Six questions buyers ask us most often.

Are you registered on GeM (Government e-Marketplace)?

GeM seller registration is in progress for eligible product categories. In the meantime, we engage directly via RFQ and via our parent group entity for established procurement channels.

Do you accept first-time, low-volume programmes?

Yes. A meaningful share of our work is low-volume, high-discipline. We are deliberately structured to make low-volume defence programmes economical and on-time.

How do you handle export-controlled or restricted items?

In strict accordance with the Foreign Trade (Development & Regulation) Act, 1992, the Arms Act, 1959, and current notifications from the Ministry of Defence and DPIIT. We will not engage outside this framework.

Will you sign an NDA before discussing details?

Yes. A two-way NDA is standard practice on our side. Send us your template or request ours via the procurement desk.

Can we audit your facility before placing a PO?

Absolutely. Buyer audits are welcomed and coordinated through our procurement desk. We will assist with logistics for visits to Govindpur, Vindhyachal.

What is your standard lead time?

For machined hardware, typical lead times are 4–8 weeks from PO depending on grade, quantity and material availability. We commit to dates we can hold.
