What the Government Actually Paid: Real Tender Prices
Government hospitals buy on the Government e-Marketplace (GeM), and the estimated value of each bid is public. These numbers show what a real buyer budgeted in 2026:
| Tender | What was bought | Estimated value | Per machine |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESIC Model Hospital, Guwahati (GeM bid GEM/2026/B/7696585) | 10 ICU ventilators | Rs 1.90 crore | About Rs 19 lakh |
| CMO Office Bandipora, Jammu and Kashmir (GeM bid GEM/2026/B/7704087) | 2 haemodialysis machines | Rs 14.70 lakh | About Rs 7.35 lakh |
Tender values are budgets, not the final winning price, and they often include installation, training and warranty. Still, they are a useful reality check when you compare quotes.
Why Prices Vary So Much
- Features: more modes, better monitoring and longer battery backup cost more.
- Imported or made in India: imported machines usually cost more and can take longer to service.
- Service and warranty: a longer warranty, a nearby engineer and spare parts in India add to the price but save money later.
- Consumables: some machines need parts you buy again and again. A cheap machine with costly consumables can cost more over time.
- Taxes and delivery: many prices are shown before GST, delivery and installation. Always ask.
Costs People Forget
- GST: check the rate for each item. For example, wheelchairs carry 5% GST.
- Installation and training: is it free or extra?
- Consumables: dialysers, tubing, filters, tips and other parts used every day.
- Service contract (AMC): what it costs each year after the warranty ends.
- Room and utilities: a dialysis unit needs a water (RO) plant; an ICU needs oxygen and power backup.
- Spare parts and batteries: for example, a lithium wheelchair battery usually lasts about 3 to 5 years.
The lowest price is not always the lowest cost. Compare the total cost over five years, not just the price on day one.
Bigger Projects: OTs and Whole Hospitals
For a full operation theatre or a new hospital, the cost depends on the building, the number of beds and the departments. Read our modular OT setup cost guide and the hospital setup checklist. Pulse can also set up a complete hospital from 0 to 100 and give one combined quote.
How to Get a Fair Quote: 5 Steps
- Write down exactly what you need: model type, features and quantity.
- Ask at least three sellers for a written, itemised quote.
- Check that each quote shows GST, delivery, installation, training and warranty.
- Ask for the price of consumables and the yearly service contract.
- Ask for a demo and the regulatory papers (such as CDSCO registration) before you pay.
