On June 24, 2026, India has allowed four China-origin power equipment companies with existing Indian manufacturing units to bid for government and PSU power tenders for two years.
The exemption comes when India’s grid capex cycle is accelerating, driven by renewable evacuation, peak power demand, HVDC corridors and distribution upgrades.
Near-Term competition may rise in transformers, reactors, GIS, circuit breakers and insulators, but wider vendor access can reduce project delays and support grid execution.
