3.5.2 Bhutan Additional Suppliers | Digital Logistics Capacity Assessments

Overview

There is limited manufacturing/production capacity in Bhutan especially in terms of operational support equipment. Most of these items are imported from India and other countries. There are many small, medium and large companies / wholesalers who hold a hardware license and supply different kinds of building, construction, electrical, plumbing materials. Some of these wholesalers are franchise holders of branded companies and manufacturers based in India. Lead time for the delivery of these materials can take anywhere between 15 days to two months as these local companies / wholesalers further need to order from the parent companies or distributors. Therefore, procurement needs to be planned accordingly.
