ISROs fiscal year runs from April 1 through March 31, so they are midway through Q2 of their year when the Tender period closes - getting contract in place by end of September would then leave 2 quarters to spend their allocated budget for this for the year. Depending on how quickly the deliverables for Phase 1 can be presented and accepted, that would then set things up for approved funding for the tech transfer activities in future years.
