Company ' owning majority (more than 50%) shares of such Bidder (Subsidiary) Company.

of "A" as well as and so on. An apex 'Parent Company ' may own number of independent
Subsidiary/Group Companies and if any of these Subsidiary/Group Company commits assured
support and unhindered access to its assets and resources to another Subsidiary/Group Company
(Bidder Company in this case) under the same apex 'Parent Company' then experience and other
credentials of such Subsidiary/Group Company shall be considered for qualification of the Bidder
Subsidiary Company provided such commitment is evidenced/authorized and guaranteed by the
apex 'Parent Company '.
In case Bidder (Subsidiary Company) gets qualified and awarded the work package, the Parent/
Holding Company will be required to furnish an additional performance bank guarantee of value
equivalent to (3%) three percent of the Contract Price or portion of work (where the Subsidiary
Company is Joint Venture Partner) as the case may be, in addition to normal Performance Bank
Guarantee to be submitted by the Bidder Company to the Employer besides entering into a
separate Agreement as per Form. The experience of the subsidiary companies of the
Parent/Holding Company will be considered experience of the Parent/ Holding Company.
