The submission deadline is 15 October 2026, with bids scheduled to open on 16 October 2026. The procurement is intended to support the development of public water infrastructure in Kokrajhar, Assam. The tender information notes that the stainless steel water filters are intended to contribute to improved water filtration infrastructure and support public water facilities or community water points.
The Kokrajhar procurement also highlights the use of stainless steel in public water infrastructure, with the material being specified for water filtration units under a municipal supply contract. While the tender is a local procurement, such projects add to the range of infrastructure applications for stainless steel and demonstrate its use in government-funded urban development programmes.
The initiative forms part of ongoing efforts to strengthen municipal services in Kokrajhar through the deployment of water filtration infrastructure. The use of stainless steel water filters places the material within a practical public-utility application, connecting stainless steel demand with infrastructure development at the local level.
