Clause No. 4.12 (Servers) – reg. S.O. 4591(E).— Electronic Products were notified vide Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) Gazette Notification F.No.W -43/4/2019 -IPHW -MeitY dated 0 7.09.2020, in furtherance of the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) Public Procurement (Preference to Make in India) Order 2017 dated 15.06.2017, as amended by Orders dated 28.05.2018, 29.05.2019, 04.06.2020 and 16.09.2020. 2. In case of Servers, Clause 4.12 (B): Mechanism for calculation of local content is amended as under and will be applicable with immediate effect: Revised Mechanism for calculation of local content : The domestic Bill of Material (BOM) of Server would b e the sum of the cost of main inputs as specified in Column 1 of the following table, provided the inputs individually satisfy the value addition requirement specified in Column 2 of the table. However, the weightage of total value of 'Add on Controller' s hall not exceed 3% of the total BOM of the Server . Main inputs in BOM/ stages for manufacture of Server Value addition /local content required for the input to be classified as domestic BOM 1 2 Server Board/ Mother Board and CPU(s)/ GPU(s) Domestic PCB Assembly* and testing from imported/ domestically manufactured parts and components, including the value of Semiconductors** and CPU(s)/ GPU(s)** and excluding the value of bare PCB. Memory Module Domestic PCB Assembly* and testing from imported/ domestic ally manufactured memory chips** and parts/ components on imported/ domestically manufactured bare PCB, excluding the value of bare PCB. Hard Disk Drive/ Solid State Storage Drive (SSD) Domestic assembly and testing from imported/ domestically manufacture d parts and components. Cabinet + SMPS Domestically manufactured Cabinet and domestic assembly and testing of SMPS from imported / domestically manufactured parts and components, subject to the condition that value of domestically manufactured parts and c omponents used in the assembly of “SMPS” will be minimum 25% (of the total value of parts and components used in the manufacture of “SMPS”). Bare PCB Domestically manufactured from imported/ domestically manufactured inputs. Accessories (Power Cables, Co nnectors, etc.) Domestic assembly and testing from imported/ domestically manufactured parts and components. Add-on Controllers i. RAID Controller/Adapter Domestic PCB Assembly* and testing from imported/ domestically manufactur ed chips** and parts/ components on imported/ domestically ii. Network Interface Controllers manufactured bare PCB, excluding the value of bare PCB. (i) Final Assembly and Testing (ii) Design and Development (i) Domestically assembled/ tested and (ii) Intellectual Property (IP) reside nt in India for any of the above items. The value of IP resident in India for any of the above items shall be reduced from its value in the domestic BOM. * It is essential that the Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) of the CPU(s)/ GPU(s)/ processor(s), parts/ components on the bare PCB using the SMT process should mandatorily be done in India ** This shall be reviewed when the Semiconductor FAB in India is operational. 3. All other terms and conditions of MeitY Gazette Notification F.No.W -43/4/2019 -IPHW -MeitY dated 07.09.2020 remain unchanged. [F.
