I want to provide one submersible pump to dewater the basement floor of a switch gear building ( max 6 mtr deep ) in case of any water accumalation.

Can any body give the spec

DUH - Find one that can pump so many gallons per hour or minute (whatever you need) and push it up at least 6 meters or about 20'

Probably a 1,000 vendors out there that can help you out
 
How much water inflow do you expect in a worst case? That's your required flow rate.
You'll need at least 6m head, call it 10.

You know what voltage you're operating with, we don't.
You probably want it to have float switches to turn it on and off.
I recommend putting a small sump hole at the low point to put the pump in, otherwise, if it's on the floor, you need one that pumps down to the lowest level possible.

Armed with that information, contact someone in your area who sells submersible pumps.
