Oil India’s Dandewala GSU EPC tender is extended with EMD cut and BEC-BRC rewired
Feb 04: 8Oil India has pushed the Dandewala gas sweetening unit bid deadline out again, taking the package 133 days beyond its original closing date. 8The latest extension is bundled with a quieter but sharper move: bid security is reduced while qualification proof is tightened around desert-ready, continuously operated CO2 separation technology.

ONGC hard-links liquidated damages to 72-hour commissioning run and adds dismantling risk in GCRP at Nawagam GCP
Feb 04: 1) ONGC tightens exchanger maintenance discipline with pay-cut levers and “brand new” hydro-jetting rules 8It is not just buying manpower for 22 well-fluid preheaters; it is buying a prescribed maintenance method, right down to tooling and chemistry. 8The tender’s most consequential control is not qualification paperwork but deduction-trigger clauses that convert on-site deviations into immediate revenue hits.
2) OIL frames upper assam tubular running services as an auditable, kpi-driven completion integrity packag 8The tender seeds measurable running-time norms and torque-turn traceability as the backbone of completion execution. 8It also shifts connection-damage exposure toward the contractor well before commercial terms are even visible.
3) ONGC extends deadline for for Sagar Gaurav high risk spud can repair package 8ONGC is buying a high-risk, high-interface repair outcome under a turnkey wrapper: dredging for safe docking, port clearances and husbandry, engineering-design, procurement actions (including permits/approvals), and the full class approval pathway sit with the contractor
4) SunPetro extends 50T workover rig callout tender 8The extension looks less like generosity and more like a bid-compliance and participation salvage move in a documentation-heavy rig package. 8The small mismatch between “two weeks” framing and the calendar shift is the kind of detail that decides who stays compliant and who gets filtered out.
5) Tender deadline pushed ahead as ONGC seeks multi-location reservoir field services 8The extension is, buying bidders time on a contract that demands simultaneous delivery across four operating theatres. 8The real pinch points are not just rates, but HPHT-ready deployment capacity, strict documentation gates, and reverse auction mechanics that can thin the field. 8What the extension is really signalling about participation and risk-transfer sits beneath the surface.
Feb 04: 1) Polyester industrial yarn derivatives market study 8There is a winner
2) IOCL’s Gujarat refinery confined space entry supervision award lands with a tied L1 and a compliance-heavy shutdown scope 8The contract forces contractors to carry payroll governance, PPE/IFR compliance and round-the-clock staffing risk while the owner retains EIC-driven discretion.
Feb 04: 1) This refinery locks in a governance-heavy DHDS shutdown tender 8The refiner is framing its DHDS turnaround less as a rate contract and more as an auditable execution system. The tender hard-wires shift accountability, leak-free reassembly discipline, and in-refinery exchanger yard capability into the contractor’s risk stack.
2) Company hardwires 24x7 mechanical static readiness into a three-year refinery ARC 8It looks like a routine maintenance ARC, but the clause design quietly turns it into a capacity-reservation contract. The scope bundles certified metallurgy work, safety governance, and always-on standby expectations into one price path that will be stress-tested in reverse auction.
3) Owner tightens OEM-bound heater refurbishment for BS-VI MSG revamp reliability 8This tender hard-binds a heater repair to “as-original” metallurgy and electrical performance while keeping acceptance control at the OEM shop. The fine print signals a deliberate choice between price discovery and reliability certainty, and the trade-off is where the real story sits.
4) Refiner’s pipelines seeks advanced FFS and FEA-led integrity evaluation to decide safe operation limits for pipeline defects 8The owner is buying analytical authority, not inspection activity, by outsourcing defect acceptability decisions tied to global FFS standards and level III simulations.
5) This 20 TDP CBG site development tender hardwires process discipline and screens out EMD-short bidders 8This is like a compliance stress test rather than a routine earthwork package.
Feb 04: 1) BPREP carbon steel columns/towers tender stretches 103 days on 9 extensions, with site-assembly cost floors tightening bidder behaviour 8Nine deadline extensions push the bid close by 103 days, a participation signal that rarely stays “just administrative.
2) NRL stretches RPTU instrumentation bid deadline 8The final move lands alongside an attachment of bidder query responses, tightening the tender basis late in the cycle. The timeline signals a participation-and-clarification squeeze that could reshape bid aggression and interface risk pricing
3) Naphtha cracker shutdown rate contract pushes phased mobilisation and six-month wage reimbursement, as the bid date slips 8The real tightening is inside the execution governance. The sow loads contractors with phased mobilisation readiness, safety policing, and micro-interface liabilities that usually surface only after incidents.
4) CPCL’s 100 mw RTC renewables pre-feasibility tender sees repeated close-date pushes 8This is as QCBS gates narrow the advisor pool
5) CPCL’s GUIDE framework CRO tender extension shifts the clock 8But keeps the risk posture unchanged
