Make in India SD-WAN certification and compliance at Nexapp

Your tender asks for proof, not badges. This table lists each certificate Nexapp publishes, who issues that type of certificate, and the exact scope Nexapp states.

No ministry issues a "Make in India" certificate for a network product. Preference in public procurement comes from the Public Procurement (Preference to Make in India) Order, 2017, last revised by DPIIT on 19 July 2024. The order sets the rules.

• Class-I local supplier: the item offered has at least 50% local content, unless the nodal ministry has notified a higher figure.
• Class-II local supplier: at least 20% local content, but less than the Class-I threshold.
• Margin of purchase preference: 20%.
• Self-certification: at bid time, the supplier states the local-content percentage and the location of value addition.
• Above Rs 10 crore: the supplier adds a certificate from its statutory or cost auditor, or from a practising cost or chartered accountant.

So Class-I status is declared for the item offered in each bid. Tender teams should ask every bidder for the declaration, the local-content percentage and the location of value addition.

What you get from us: Nexapp is a Class-I local supplier under the PPP-MII Order. We are an Indian OEM. We design Instaroute routers and develop NexappOS and the management platforms in India. With each bid, you get a local-content declaration and certificate, matched to the item and BoQ line you are buying. For a full explanation of the order, read Class-I local supplier and PPP-MII for network equipment. For how we support public-sector bids, see government and PSU.

A router sold in India must carry MTCTE certification if its category is notified. DoT set up the scheme through the Indian Telegraph (Amendment) Rules, 2017 (G.S.R. 1131(E), 5 September 2017). Designated labs test equipment against TEC's Essential Requirements, and TEC issues the certificate. You can search every certificate on the public MTCTE portal.

Nexapp's certificate 244903206 was issued on 24 March 2025 in the IoT Gateway category (Mandatory) and is valid to 23 March 2035.

How to check it yourself: search the certificate number on the MTCTE portal and match each model name on your BoQ to the register.

MTCTE and ComSec are different checks. Since 1 July 2024, IP routers have also needed security certification from the National Centre for Communication Security (NCCS) under the ComSec scheme, against the ITSAR for IP routers. Nexapp's certificate 244903206 is an IoT Gateway certificate. It is not a Wi-Fi CPE certificate. We publish ComSec status for a model only once it is issued. For the full picture, read Is MTCTE mandatory for routers?

Your OT team will ask whether the router at the substation or plant meets an industrial security standard. ISA/IEC 62443 is the international series for industrial automation and control system security. It covers how products are developed and what security capabilities components must have. Nexapp products hold IEC 62443 certification. Ask us for the certificate and its scope before you cite it in a bid.

This supports your own zone-and-conduit design. On Instaroute routers, the zone firewall and encrypted VPN tunnels act as controlled conduits between your OT zones and the enterprise network. See manufacturing and energy and utilities for how this is used.

Your vendor's own processes matter as much as the box. Nexapp holds four management-system certifications at company level:

• ISO/IEC 27001:2022 for information security management.
• ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018 for IT service management.
• ISO 9001:2015 for quality management.
• ISO 14001:2015 for environmental management.

Certificates are available on request. Check the scope statement on each one against the service you are buying, for example hosted management or NOC operations.

If you hold a telecom licence, a separate rule applies. DoT amended telecom licences in March 2021 so that licensees connect only trusted products from trusted sources. The designated authority is the National Cyber Security Coordinator. The Trusted Telecom Portal went live on 15 June 2021. We state trusted-source status only for products listed on that portal. If you are a telecom operator or its system integrator, ask us for the current position before you place an order.

Some buyers ask about BIS registration, GeM listings, NCCS ComSec certificates, trusted-source status or a published local-content percentage. We have not published any of these on this page. The local-content percentage is stated in the declaration for each bid. Ask our team for the current position on each one before you rely on it in a bid. When they are issued, we will add them here with the same detail as the certificates above.

• Certificate pack: ISO certificates, the TEC MTCTE certificate and the IEC 62443 certificate, matched to the models in your BoQ.
• Class-I local-content declaration and certificate for each bid, with the location of value addition.
• Datasheets and specifications that match your BoQ lines.
• OEM authorisation (MAF) for authorised partners bidding on your behalf. See the partner programme.
• Security evidence: a cryptographic bill of materials (CBOM), India-resident or self-hosted management and logs, and hybrid post-quantum encryption. See trust and security and post-quantum cryptography.
