1. INTRODUCTION
U.R.Rao Satellite Centre (URSC), Bengalore is engaged in the development of
spacecrafts for various applications such as Communication, Remote Sensing and scientific
activities which use batteries made of Lithium ion (Li-ion)-Cells for on-board power/energy
storage. Presently, the batteries for the spacecrafts of ISRO are being realized by URSC with
in-house capacity with limited external workforce support for assembly and testing of new
design and development work and standard batteries requirements are met with external
support from vendor with a production quantity of 8-10 batteries per annum.
At present, ISRO is the sole user of the space quality batteries in India and is in possession of
the technology for Design, Fabrication, Assembly and Testing of space quality batteries.
Considering strategic importance of this product for ISRO and the space program of our
country and the major growth in demand as foreseen in this area, URSC has been on the
lookout for suitable alternate vendor / industrial agencies to take up the activities pertaining
to ESTABLISHMENT OF FACILITY FOR FABRICATION AND TESTING OF SPACE BATTERIES.
The BATTERY FABRICATION & TESTING process was developed and qualified for space
applications by URSC. Interested vendors should express their willingness to establish a
facility in and around Bangalore, for carrying out BATTERY FABRICATION & TESTING to URSC.
It is mandatory that the interested vendor should possess facility, experience and knowledge
about aerospace production.
An order will be placed in a phased manner as mentioned below on suitable vendor after
evaluation of EOI for establishment of the facility for fabrication and testing of batteries.
After evaluation and certification of facility & workforce, the total facility will be certified to
carry out FABRICATION & TESTING of flight batteries.

2. SCOPE OF WORK
It is proposed to carry out fabrication and testing of flight batteries for ISRO Standard bus
satellites with the participation of the prospective vendor. The entire activity is planned to be
carried out in three phases viz Phase-1, Phase-2 and Phase-3.
During Phase-1, on-the-job training will be given to the vendor for battery fabrication and
testing activities at URSC premises.
After the readiness of facility, clean room and installation of necessary equipment, by the
vendor it will be evaluated and certified by URSC.
Fabrication and testing activities of the battery will be carried out by the trained workforce of
the selected vendor under the supervision of ISRO/URSC in phase-2 either at URSC or their
certified facility.
After successful completion of Phase-2 and after evaluation and certification of facility, workforce, potential vendors may be invited to take up battery fabrication and testing activities on an end-to-end basis at their facility in phase-3.
The scope of work involved in each phase is discussed in brief below:

13. GENERAL INSTRUCTION FOR SUBMISSION OF EOI PROPOSAL
Vendor participation is going to be a major steering factor in order to aid URSC/ISRO in
meeting the objective of building 8-10 satellites per year. Presently many public and private
companies are directly or indirectly involved in satellite building activities. The demand for
space application is growing manifold across the globe and ISRO/URSC is keen to provide
vendors opportunities to expand their contribution in battery fabrication and testing
activities. With this backdrop, it is now proposed to carry out battery fabrication and testing
activities through an external vendor. In order to achieve this target, one major capable
vendor will be selected to build and test the flight batteries.
13.1 Steps for selecting the potential vendor:
The following flowchart depicts the steps for selecting the potential vendor. The process
begins with the call for Expression of Interest (EOI). The interested vendors shall submit the
EOI proposal clearly indicating the details required in Chapter 14 Response format with
supporting documents. A Pre-EOI Conference with interested vendors would be conducted
at URSC campus before the submission of EOI. The purpose of the conference is to provide
vendors an opportunity to seek clarifications regarding any aspect of the EOI. The vendors
finally responding to the EOI shall be shortlisted based on their compliance with the EOI
requirement. Subsequently a pre-bid meeting between URSC and the shortlisted vendors will
be held at URSC wherein detailed presentations on the scope of work, roles and
responsibilities and modalities of engagement will be discussed.
EOI FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF FACILITY AND FABRICATION, ASSEMBLY AND
TESTING OF SPACE QUALITY BATTERIES
37
13.2 Guidelines for EOI submission:
The objective of this EOI is to solicit proposals from the interested vendor for participation in
the battery fabrication and testing activities as discussed in the scope of work. The interested
vendor is expected to examine all instructions, scope of work, tenure of work, workforce
estimation, safety precautions, confidentiality and non-disclosure, general terms and
conditions, submission guidelines and other details in the EOI documents. Failure to furnish
complete information as mentioned in the EOI documents or submission of a proposal not
substantially responsive to the EOI documents in every respect will be at the Vendor's risk
and may result in rejection of the proposal. The EOI is not an offer and is issued with no
commitment. URSC reserves the right to withdraw the EOI and change or vary any part
thereof at any stage, if it determines that such action is in the best interest of the
Government of India. URSC also reserves the right to disqualify any proposal, should it be so
necessary at any stage. The proposal should be submitted as an Expression of Interest (EOI),
clearly providing the details requested below with documentary proof/supporting
documents.
The vendor has to provide the information as per the formats prescribed in chapter 10
Response Format. The overall compliance matrix as per chapter 15 should also be
submitted as per of the EOI proposal. All these inputs may be furnished in MS word
document neatly typed in the said formats. The proposal and all correspondence and
documents shall be written in English.
