Numerous Arunachal Pradesh tenders are now floated at regular intervals and most of them are government tenders.

Area of Opportunities
While private enterprise has not developed much in the state, government tenders are offering great opportunities for investors and bidders to make good in the process. Most important areas offering such opportunities and where majority of the Arunachal Pradesh tenders originate are –

It is the place where Parasuram washed all his sins, Vyasa got enlightenment, and Lord Krishna took Rukmani as wife.

Many Arunachal Pradesh tenders are floated in this sector but the difference is that unlike other sectors there is also a notable growth of tenders from private sectors. Most of these tenders relate to –
  • Development of site of the industrial units;
  • Construction and installation works relating to the industries;
  • Supply of machineries, equipments, and accessories;
  • Supply of manpower;
  • Providing utility and security services that are mostly outsourced; and
  • Transport facilities.
Agricultural Industry Based Tenders
Like the industrial sector, the state government has also introduced the new agricultural policy that also encourages outside investments with 100% equity ownership for a period of 30 years after which it would be reduced to 49%. They will also be allowed to hold lands on lease for 30 years and priority sectors from where many Arunachal Pradesh tenders originate are –
