Your fastest route around a turnover or experience wall you cannot clear alone: borrow someone else's track record. It walks the concrete move, three firms each capped at a 2 crore bidding limit combine into a consortium to clear a larger tender, and separates a consortium (existing firms teaming up) from a JV (a new legal entity), plus the pre-bid agreement covering profit split, roles and exit that any real government bid requires.
