Bid window stretched and rig specs recalibrated in 77-day extension of 3000 HP rig charter 

Dec 10: 8Oil India has quietly pushed its flagship 3000 HP rig tender deep into December while rewiring key parts of the bid evaluation and technical envelope.
8Rotary, pump and handling requirements have been trimmed just enough to pull more rigs into play, even as bid security validity and documentation burdens grow heavier.
8Whether this longer runway broadens real competition or simply prices in the added risk and liquidity costs is what the 23 December opening will reveal.

Thirty-two day bid extension keeps hybrid four-PSV shipbuilding contest open under an unchanged risk spine

Dec 10: 8ONGC has quietly pushed its four-PSV bid window from mid-December to 12–13 January 2026 without touching a single rupee of EMD or PBG.
8The hybrid DP2-plus-battery spec still demands proven yard capability and long-dated bid securities, even as bidders get more time to stitch together OEM stacks and pricing. 8Whether this
8longer runway broadens the serious yard universe or merely reprices risk on an unchanged commercial spine is what this extension will now test.

E&P contracting brief: Part I

Dec 10: 1) Indigenous-only OEM spares tender tightens control on 1000 HP mobile rig mud-pump reliability
8Oil India has opened a single-stage composite tender for OEM F1000 mud-pump spares on its 1000 HP mobile rigs but has quietly restricted the race to indigenous bidders.
8A no-EMD bid security declaration and MSME-linked payment options soften the cash-flow load even as OEM-only clauses harden technical and quality expectations.
8How this balance between localisation, liquidity relief and tight documentation plays out in bidder turnout and pricing is what the award documents will eventually reveal.
 
2) Sri Jaishanth undercuts ONGC estimate by about 41% to win three-year gas detector calibration mandate in ONGC Cauvery Asset.
8A safety-critical gas detector calibration package at ONGC Cauvery Asset has been awarded at a price far below the corporation’s own estimate.
8The SOW is dense with site-specific obligations, split LD, long-tail performance security and an option clause that lets ONGC flex scope and duration.
8How that commercial squeeze plays out over six calibration cycles will shape both HSE reliability and vendor appetite for future Cauvery-Asset service tenders.
 
3) Indian Minerals & Energy Services wins barytes supply contract with 7.7% price gap to L2
8Oil India has quietly closed its latest barytes buy for the KG Basin, but the real story lies in how far it tightened the screws on quality and eligibility.
8A narrow 7.7% spread between the top two bids hints at disciplined pricing in a heavily policed vendor pool.
8The clauses on sampling, OEM control and financial strength say as much about future drilling-chemical tenders as this one award.
 
4) Charge caps, LCU undertakings and PoA relaxations reset risk and compliance for Amaze Maritime, KVR Offshore, Mat Marine and Vrinda Offshore on ONGC’s EOA multi-utility vessel charter.
8ONGC’s MUV charter for EOA has quietly moved from negotiable guidance to hard-wired caps on mobilisation and other charges.
8Participating bidders now operate under an LCU undertaking that lets ONGC trim any above-limit pricing while still awarding the contract.
8How this plays out in margins, vessel choices and post-bid clarifications will only become clear once the commercial bids are opened.
 
5) ONGC’s western offshore clamp-on bidders face a broader force majeure shield but harsher anti-cartel and post-rejection rules as three-player competition crystallises.
8Three bidders are now locked into ONGC’s clamp-on race under an FM clause that offers comfort but no free pass.
8Representation rights have been narrowed to a 48-hour, no-new-documents window just as anti-cartel language puts tight clusters under the microscope.
8How Das Offshore, Mashhor and Supreme price and paper their bids under this mix of cushions and tripwires is where the real story lies.

E&P contracting brief: Part II

Dec 10: 1) Adhul Marketo faces tight inventory and delivery discipline in ONGC’s frontier-basin industrial gas tender for rigs E-2000-8 and E-2000-6.
8ONGC’s GeM tender for industrial gases at Samastipur and Ballia rigs looks small on paper but pushes a heavy load of inventory and delivery risk onto the supplier.
8With no guaranteed volumes, capped free rentals and termination triggers for refusal or repeated quality slips, bidders like Adhul Marketo India Private Limited are effectively underwriting ONGC’s just-in-time cylinder strategy.
8The real question is which risk lever—option quantity, LD, or legal silence on disputes—ends up defining pricing and participation in the next round.
 
2) Five civil contractors face firm-price, compliance-heavy three-year ARC for rig deployment works in ONGC Cambay Asset.
8ONGC’s Cambay civil-works ARC has drawn five regional contractors into a three-year, multi-site race with no publicly visible relaxations on risk or security.
8The tender architecture locks in firm prices, extended PBG validity and tight documentation demands, while promising quick payment only to those who can navigate the paperwork flawlessly.
8How these bidders balance that risk stack against aggressive pricing will decide who emerges as a long-term civil partner around Cambay’s workover rigs.
 
3) Corrigendum package resets bid security, tie-breakers and force majeure for Ahmedabad fire protection LSTK.
8ONGC’s latest corrigendum does far more than tidy up pre-bid dates for its Ahmedabad fire-protection LSTK.
8It rewires who wins in an L1 tie, who must lock up bank limits for how long, and when either side can walk away from a force-majeure-hit contract.
8Whether this tougher but more structured playbook broadens the bidder pool or quietly filters it down will only be visible when the final techno-commercial shortlist emerges.
 
4) Nine-day GeM deadline extension keeps ONGC heavy electrical machines repair RC for offshore drilling rigs open until 18 December 2025.
8ONGC has quietly pushed out the closing date on its three-year repair RC for rig-critical electrical machines without touching a single technical or commercial safeguard.
8Bidders now have nine extra days to align demanding workshop-facility proofs, calibration certificates and Make in India paperwork.
8Whether that small shift broadens a niche vendor pool or merely delays a tight contest is what this extension will now test.
 
5) Third bid-date extension and tougher group guarantees reset the risk calculus for the Dandewala gas sweetening unit.
8OIL has quietly pushed the Dandewala membrane-GSU tender out to 24 December while overhauling who can bid and how they must backstop performance.
8Experience windows, support-company rules, moisture specs and O&M securities all look different from the early September issue.
8How bidders price a wider entry gate against harder long-tail obligations will decide who still stays in this race.

Andhra refinery updates

Dec 10: 1) BPCL tightens licensor bar for 325 KTPA LDPE unit at Ramayapatnam refinery-cum-petrochemical complex
8BPCL is not just buying a LDPE technology. A rare mix of strict reference-unit criteria, cross-verification of credentials and long bid validity quietly reshapes the licensor’s risk-return equation.
 
2) Ethylene cracker licensor and BEDP bid date out by 112 days
8The licensor and BEDP tender for BPCL’s Andhra Pradesh ethylene cracker has quietly moved from an August to a December close without touching the core scope.
 
3) Hydro processing block: Bid due date pushed ahead
8BPCL and EIL have quietly extended the bid window for the integrated hydro processing licensor package while keeping a far tougher stance on post-award obligations.
 
4) PFCCU licensor tender: Extended
8BPCL has quietly extended the licensor bid window for its PFCCU block at Ramayapatnam by more than a month while leaving the underlying risk structure untouched. NPV-based evaluation, a 50 percent overall aggregate liability cap with sharp carve-outs, and back-loaded payment milestones still define the contest.

Refinery shutdown tendering: Updates

Dec 10: 1) IOCL Gujarat Refinery FCC and FPU-1 shutdown piping jobs
8IOCL Gujarat Refinery’s FCC and FPU-1 shutdown piping tender hardwires high safety and resource obligations into contractor scope.
 
2) IOCL Paradip stretches DCU shutdown mechanical contract over 24 months with tight PQC and long-tail performance security
8IOCL Paradip is lining up a single mechanical agency to handle all “miscellaneous” jobs across DCU SADC shutdown and low-throughput periods for two years. Behind the familiar two-bid format sit unusually tentative quantities, a long 39-month performance security and strict PQC that keep only seasoned refinery contractors in play.
 
3) HPCL Mumbai refinery locks in nominated decontamination expert for DHT TA 2026 with soft securities and phase-wise supervision scope
8HPCL Mumbai refinery has moved early to ring-fence decontamination risk for its 2026 DHT turnaround by nominating Monitpro through a custom GeM services bid. The tender breaks the expert’s role into design, procedure finalisation and round-the-clock execution-stage supervision, but strips out most of the usual commercial securities. How that trade-off between technical depth and diluted financial policing plays out will decide both schedule reliability and the template for future TA-critical service nominations.
 
4) Refractory shutdown contract hardwires GST and safety discipline
8Technical scope stretches across multi-unit shutdowns with long-horizon refractory support

2) Seven bid extensions push EIL’s cooling water pump tender
8A pump package that was not supposed to see any bid due date extension has now been rolled forward seven times into mid-December.
 
3) BPCL Kochi polypropylene project power recovery expander revamp: Update
8EIL stretches bid timeline for BPCL Kochi power recovery expander revamp but keeps tight OEM-driven qualification bar.
 
4) IOCL Lube Blending Plant, Mumbai: An update
8Two-step 14-day bid extension signals IOCL is protecting a tight IATF 16949 consultancy PQC while buying time
 
5) High-severity NHT operating basis drives catalyst demands at BPCL Mumbai refinery
8The tender is anchored on an NHT section that has been uprated from its original design throughput and is now routinely running above 115 percent of nameplate. This pushes the incoming catalyst to handle higher space velocities, more severe temperature profiles and tighter impurity removal than many standard naphtha hydrotreaters.

 2) HPRGE renewable power feasibility at HPCL Gujarat and Rajasthan locations
 
8HPRGE lines up a deep solar plus BESS feasibility and DPR mandate for HPCL locations in Gujarat and Rajasthan. Detailed structural checks, DG synchronisation studies and BESS-driven RTC modelling will make this consultancy central to future EPC contracts and operating reliability.

Downstream contracting briefs

Dec 09: 1) Single-source consultancy defines the technical roadmap for PBFS drying at Manali
8The scope is a detailed study for installing a dryer and purification system in the PBFS stream at CPCL’s Manali refinery, framed as a custom service on GeM. A single pre-listed seller, New Multifab Engineers, is positioned to define the process options, integration philosophy and operating envelope for the future installation. How this lone consultant interprets the refinery’s constraints and opportunities could determine the technical playbook for PBFS handling over the next project cycle.
 
2) IOCL adds option and excess-settlement levers while nudging MJPL ILI bidders with a short GeM bid-deadline extension.
8IOCL has quietly overhauled the commercial fine print on its MJPL ILI GeM tender while issuing a tightly framed technical addendum. Bidders now face a 25% option on quantity and duration, a capped excess-charge window, and uncompromising UTSW performance demands. The bid deadline has moved only slightly, raising the stakes on how fast vendors can re-price their risk.
 
3) BPCL extends bid deadline for three-year biogas plant O&M contract at Mahul refinery
8BPCL has quietly pushed out the bid deadline for its Mahul biogas plant O&M contract, giving bidders additional time beyond the original window. The corrigendum stops short of altering scope, qualification or commercial structures. Yet the extra days could still reshape who participates and how aggressively they price this three-year downstream O&M job.
 
4) BPCL hardens risk controls but softens payment phasing on PRFCCU KMU and OSBL dismantling at Mumbai refinery.
8BPCL has quietly rewritten key clauses on its PRFCCU KMU dismantling tender after the pre-bid meeting, but not in the way most bidders hoped. Payment milestones are now more granular and pro-rata, even as scope, schedule and option-clause risk remain firmly with the contractor. The real story lies in how these tweaks reshape bidder behaviour, pricing and bankability for one of Mumbai refinery’s most sensitive brownfield jobs.
 
5) GAIL pre-bid replies keep O&M cost and labour risk firmly with contractors in Maharashtra pipeline ARC
8GAIL’s replies to pre-bid queries on its Maharashtra O&M ARC leave low SOR rates and demanding digital and mobility obligations untouched. Contractors are expected to provide motorcycles, smart devices, biometric systems and extended hours of work without any relaxation in price or explicit overtime compensation. With new labour codes confirmed as fully applicable, the real story now is how many bidders will accept this risk-loaded configuration.

Bid window stretched and rig specs recalibrated in 77-day extension of 3000 HP rig charter 

Dec 10: 8Oil India has quietly pushed its flagship 3000 HP rig tender deep into December while rewiring key parts of the bid evaluation and technical envelope.
8Rotary, pump and handling requirements have been trimmed just enough to pull more rigs into play, even as bid security validity and documentation burdens grow heavier.
8Whether this longer runway broadens real competition or simply prices in the added risk and liquidity costs is what the 23 December opening will reveal.

8The hybrid DP2-plus-battery spec still demands proven yard capability and long-dated bid securities, even as bidders get more time to stitch together OEM stacks and pricing. 8Whether this
8longer runway broadens the serious yard universe or merely reprices risk on an unchanged commercial spine is what this extension will now test.

E&P contracting brief: Part I

Dec 10: 1) Indigenous-only OEM spares tender tightens control on 1000 HP mobile rig mud-pump reliability
8Oil India has opened a single-stage composite tender for OEM F1000 mud-pump spares on its 1000 HP mobile rigs but has quietly restricted the race to indigenous bidders.
8A no-EMD bid security declaration and MSME-linked payment options soften the cash-flow load even as OEM-only clauses harden technical and quality expectations.
8How this balance between localisation, liquidity relief and tight documentation plays out in bidder turnout and pricing is what the award documents will eventually reveal.
 
2) Sri Jaishanth undercuts ONGC estimate by about 41% to win three-year gas detector calibration mandate in ONGC Cauvery Asset.
8A safety-critical gas detector calibration package at ONGC Cauvery Asset has been awarded at a price far below the corporation’s own estimate.
8The SOW is dense with site-specific obligations, split LD, long-tail performance security and an option clause that lets ONGC flex scope and duration.
8How that commercial squeeze plays out over six calibration cycles will shape both HSE reliability and vendor appetite for future Cauvery-Asset service tenders.
 
3) Indian Minerals & Energy Services wins barytes supply contract with 7.7% price gap to L2
8Oil India has quietly closed its latest barytes buy for the KG Basin, but the real story lies in how far it tightened the screws on quality and eligibility.
8A narrow 7.7% spread between the top two bids hints at disciplined pricing in a heavily policed vendor pool.
8The clauses on sampling, OEM control and financial strength say as much about future drilling-chemical tenders as this one award.
 
4) Charge caps, LCU undertakings and PoA relaxations reset risk and compliance for Amaze Maritime, KVR Offshore, Mat Marine and Vrinda Offshore on ONGC’s EOA multi-utility vessel charter.
8ONGC’s MUV charter for EOA has quietly moved from negotiable guidance to hard-wired caps on mobilisation and other charges.
8Participating bidders now operate under an LCU undertaking that lets ONGC trim any above-limit pricing while still awarding the contract.
8How this plays out in margins, vessel choices and post-bid clarifications will only become clear once the commercial bids are opened.
 
5) ONGC’s western offshore clamp-on bidders face a broader force majeure shield but harsher anti-cartel and post-rejection rules as three-player competition crystallises.
8Three bidders are now locked into ONGC’s clamp-on race under an FM clause that offers comfort but no free pass.
8Representation rights have been narrowed to a 48-hour, no-new-documents window just as anti-cartel language puts tight clusters under the microscope.
8How Das Offshore, Mashhor and Supreme price and paper their bids under this mix of cushions and tripwires is where the real story lies.

E&P contracting brief: Part II

Dec 10: 1) Adhul Marketo faces tight inventory and delivery discipline in ONGC’s frontier-basin industrial gas tender for rigs E-2000-8 and E-2000-6.
8ONGC’s GeM tender for industrial gases at Samastipur and Ballia rigs looks small on paper but pushes a heavy load of inventory and delivery risk onto the supplier.
8With no guaranteed volumes, capped free rentals and termination triggers for refusal or repeated quality slips, bidders like Adhul Marketo India Private Limited are effectively underwriting ONGC’s just-in-time cylinder strategy.
8The real question is which risk lever—option quantity, LD, or legal silence on disputes—ends up defining pricing and participation in the next round.
 
2) Five civil contractors face firm-price, compliance-heavy three-year ARC for rig deployment works in ONGC Cambay Asset.
8ONGC’s Cambay civil-works ARC has drawn five regional contractors into a three-year, multi-site race with no publicly visible relaxations on risk or security.
8The tender architecture locks in firm prices, extended PBG validity and tight documentation demands, while promising quick payment only to those who can navigate the paperwork flawlessly.
8How these bidders balance that risk stack against aggressive pricing will decide who emerges as a long-term civil partner around Cambay’s workover rigs.
 
3) Corrigendum package resets bid security, tie-breakers and force majeure for Ahmedabad fire protection LSTK.
8ONGC’s latest corrigendum does far more than tidy up pre-bid dates for its Ahmedabad fire-protection LSTK.
8It rewires who wins in an L1 tie, who must lock up bank limits for how long, and when either side can walk away from a force-majeure-hit contract.
8Whether this tougher but more structured playbook broadens the bidder pool or quietly filters it down will only be visible when the final techno-commercial shortlist emerges.
 
4) Nine-day GeM deadline extension keeps ONGC heavy electrical machines repair RC for offshore drilling rigs open until 18 December 2025.
8ONGC has quietly pushed out the closing date on its three-year repair RC for rig-critical electrical machines without touching a single technical or commercial safeguard.
8Bidders now have nine extra days to align demanding workshop-facility proofs, calibration certificates and Make in India paperwork.
8Whether that small shift broadens a niche vendor pool or merely delays a tight contest is what this extension will now test.
 
5) Third bid-date extension and tougher group guarantees reset the risk calculus for the Dandewala gas sweetening unit.
8OIL has quietly pushed the Dandewala membrane-GSU tender out to 24 December while overhauling who can bid and how they must backstop performance.
8Experience windows, support-company rules, moisture specs and O&M securities all look different from the early September issue.
8How bidders price a wider entry gate against harder long-tail obligations will decide who still stays in this race.

8BPCL is not just buying a LDPE technology. A rare mix of strict reference-unit criteria, cross-verification of credentials and long bid validity quietly reshapes the licensor’s risk-return equation.
 
2) Ethylene cracker licensor and BEDP bid date out by 112 days
8The licensor and BEDP tender for BPCL’s Andhra Pradesh ethylene cracker has quietly moved from an August to a December close without touching the core scope.
 
3) Hydro processing block: Bid due date pushed ahead
8BPCL and EIL have quietly extended the bid window for the integrated hydro processing licensor package while keeping a far tougher stance on post-award obligations.
 
4) PFCCU licensor tender: Extended
8BPCL has quietly extended the licensor bid window for its PFCCU block at Ramayapatnam by more than a month while leaving the underlying risk structure untouched. NPV-based evaluation, a 50 percent overall aggregate liability cap with sharp carve-outs, and back-loaded payment milestones still define the contest.

Refinery shutdown tendering: Updates

Dec 10: 1) IOCL Gujarat Refinery FCC and FPU-1 shutdown piping jobs
8IOCL Gujarat Refinery’s FCC and FPU-1 shutdown piping tender hardwires high safety and resource obligations into contractor scope.
 
2) IOCL Paradip stretches DCU shutdown mechanical contract over 24 months with tight PQC and long-tail performance security
8IOCL Paradip is lining up a single mechanical agency to handle all “miscellaneous” jobs across DCU SADC shutdown and low-throughput periods for two years. Behind the familiar two-bid format sit unusually tentative quantities, a long 39-month performance security and strict PQC that keep only seasoned refinery contractors in play.
 
3) HPCL Mumbai refinery locks in nominated decontamination expert for DHT TA 2026 with soft securities and phase-wise supervision scope
8HPCL Mumbai refinery has moved early to ring-fence decontamination risk for its 2026 DHT turnaround by nominating Monitpro through a custom GeM services bid. The tender breaks the expert’s role into design, procedure finalisation and round-the-clock execution-stage supervision, but strips out most of the usual commercial securities. How that trade-off between technical depth and diluted financial policing plays out will decide both schedule reliability and the template for future TA-critical service nominations.

2) Seven bid extensions push EIL’s cooling water pump tender
8A pump package that was not supposed to see any bid due date extension has now been rolled forward seven times into mid-December.
 
3) BPCL Kochi polypropylene project power recovery expander revamp: Update
8EIL stretches bid timeline for BPCL Kochi power recovery expander revamp but keeps tight OEM-driven qualification bar.
 
4) IOCL Lube Blending Plant, Mumbai: An update
8Two-step 14-day bid extension signals IOCL is protecting a tight IATF 16949 consultancy PQC while buying time
 
5) High-severity NHT operating basis drives catalyst demands at BPCL Mumbai refinery
8The tender is anchored on an NHT section that has been uprated from its original design throughput and is now routinely running above 115 percent of nameplate. This pushes the incoming catalyst to handle higher space velocities, more severe temperature profiles and tighter impurity removal than many standard naphtha hydrotreaters.

 2) HPRGE renewable power feasibility at HPCL Gujarat and Rajasthan locations
 
8HPRGE lines up a deep solar plus BESS feasibility and DPR mandate for HPCL locations in Gujarat and Rajasthan. Detailed structural checks, DG synchronisation studies and BESS-driven RTC modelling will make this consultancy central to future EPC contracts and operating reliability.

Downstream contracting briefs

Dec 09: 1) Single-source consultancy defines the technical roadmap for PBFS drying at Manali
8The scope is a detailed study for installing a dryer and purification system in the PBFS stream at CPCL’s Manali refinery, framed as a custom service on GeM. A single pre-listed seller, New Multifab Engineers, is positioned to define the process options, integration philosophy and operating envelope for the future installation. How this lone consultant interprets the refinery’s constraints and opportunities could determine the technical playbook for PBFS handling over the next project cycle.
 
2) IOCL adds option and excess-settlement levers while nudging MJPL ILI bidders with a short GeM bid-deadline extension.
8IOCL has quietly overhauled the commercial fine print on its MJPL ILI GeM tender while issuing a tightly framed technical addendum. Bidders now face a 25% option on quantity and duration, a capped excess-charge window, and uncompromising UTSW performance demands. The bid deadline has moved only slightly, raising the stakes on how fast vendors can re-price their risk.
 
3) BPCL extends bid deadline for three-year biogas plant O&M contract at Mahul refinery
8BPCL has quietly pushed out the bid deadline for its Mahul biogas plant O&M contract, giving bidders additional time beyond the original window. The corrigendum stops short of altering scope, qualification or commercial structures. Yet the extra days could still reshape who participates and how aggressively they price this three-year downstream O&M job.
 
4) BPCL hardens risk controls but softens payment phasing on PRFCCU KMU and OSBL dismantling at Mumbai refinery.
8BPCL has quietly rewritten key clauses on its PRFCCU KMU dismantling tender after the pre-bid meeting, but not in the way most bidders hoped. Payment milestones are now more granular and pro-rata, even as scope, schedule and option-clause risk remain firmly with the contractor. The real story lies in how these tweaks reshape bidder behaviour, pricing and bankability for one of Mumbai refinery’s most sensitive brownfield jobs.
 
5) GAIL pre-bid replies keep O&M cost and labour risk firmly with contractors in Maharashtra pipeline ARC
8GAIL’s replies to pre-bid queries on its Maharashtra O&M ARC leave low SOR rates and demanding digital and mobility obligations untouched. Contractors are expected to provide motorcycles, smart devices, biometric systems and extended hours of work without any relaxation in price or explicit overtime compensation. With new labour codes confirmed as fully applicable, the real story now is how many bidders will accept this risk-loaded configuration.
