Industrial Procurement & Turnkey Projects in India

India offers scale in food processing, cold chain, aquaculture, renewable energy and manufacturing — supported by PLI schemes and strong domestic financing.

How do you source industrial equipment for a project in India?

Define the product, process and target capacity first, then convert that into a single comparable equipment scope. Issue that identical scope to qualified manufacturers — including origins that affect financing eligibility — and compare the responses on technology, capacity, lead time, installation, commissioning, spares and payment terms rather than headline price. In India the strongest current project areas are food processing, aquaculture (shrimp), dairy, poultry. Financing, where required, is screened in parallel rather than after award, because equipment origin and project structure determine which routes are open.

Project types we coordinate in India

Global B2B Group works at integrated-project level — complete lines, plants, equipment packages and special-purpose machinery. Highly specialist single-equipment requirements are routed to the appropriate specialist desk rather than handled generically here.

Complete production line

One integrated line, one capacity basis, multiple equipment groups from potentially different manufacturers.

Turnkey facility

Process equipment, utilities, installation and commissioning coordinated as a single project scope.

Capacity expansion

Additional lines or equipment groups integrated into an existing operating plant.

Modernisation / retrofit

Replacement or automation of specific stages inside a line that must keep running.

Multi-supplier equipment package

Several equipment packages procured together so interfaces and responsibilities stay defined.

Special-purpose machinery

A machine for a process with no standard catalogue category, developed with a suitable machine builder.

The procurement workflow

  1. 1

    Requirement

    Product, process, target capacity, site constraints and timeline are captured in buyer language — no supplier involvement yet.

  2. 2

    Technical scope

    The requirement is converted into a comparable equipment scope: process stages, capacity basis, automation level, utilities and interfaces.

  3. 3

    Supplier identification

    Qualified manufacturers are shortlisted against that scope, including origins that affect financing eligibility.

  4. 4

    Quotations

    The same scope is issued to every shortlisted supplier so the responses can actually be compared.

  5. 5

    Comparison

    Technical and commercial comparison across scope, capacity, technology, warranty, lead time, installation, commissioning, training, spares and payment terms.

  6. 6

    Financing

    Where relevant, financing pathways are screened in parallel — export credit, development finance, commercial lending or vendor credit.

  7. 7

    Project progression

    Award, delivery, installation and commissioning coordination against the agreed scope.

CAPEX planning

Total project cost in India is rarely the equipment price alone. Freight, insurance, duties, installation, commissioning, civil works, utilities, engineering and contingency all move the number — and they move it differently depending on equipment origin and site readiness.

Financing pathways

  • SIDBI, NABARD
  • Indian commercial banks
  • ADB, World Bank, IFC
  • ECAs
  • Vendor finance

Screening is preliminary only. Financing is subject to buyer, project, country, equipment origin, insurer/ECA and lender approval — no route is guaranteed, and no rate is quoted before a lender does.

Frequently asked

Does India offer subsidies for cold chain projects?

Yes — PMKSY (Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana) provides grants and interest subvention for qualifying cold chain projects.
