Chemical companies we ignored earlier from our coverage are now coming up wth big capex 8Here is a massive Rs 9000 crore private capex from a player never known to be this ambitious 8Licensor selection is ongoing, a few selected EPCM for on plant has been selected, and rest if ongoing 8This is the time to hop on to the project
Details
1) ONGC readies three-year pan-India instrumentation and field infocom FMS tender with KPI-driven service hours and full logistics risk on contractor. 8ONGC is bundling 145 installations, 57 rigs and a Delhi SCADA command centre into a single three-year FMS contract for instrumentation and field infocom. 8Behind the GeM shell sits a dense KPI regime that scores every call, every service hour and even vehicle availability, with non-performance deductions waiting in the wings. 8Bidders now have to decide whether they can turn nationwide logistics, safety liabilities and first-line maintenance into a manageable margin.
2) Long-tenor demulsifier rate contract ties Tarapur crude quality and water-cut control to lab-validated chemistry under GSPC CB-ON/2 Tarapur. 8GSPC’s Tarapur block is inviting demulsifier suppliers into a four-plus-two year rate contract where lab performance, not paperwork, decides who plays. 8The same contract quietly prepares for novation into Gujarat Gas Limited while locking prices and leaving volumes entirely at GSPC’s discretion. 8What that does to bidder appetite, chemical pricing and downstream quality risk will only be visible once the first set of samples clears the lab.
3) Three specialised PCB-repair vendors vie for ONGC MBA Basin’s rig-control module ARC under a compliance-tight but EMD-free tender. 8ONGC’s limited-tender PCB-repair contract has attracted a tight trio of local specialists. 8With EMD and PQC scoring both removed, the competition hinges on documentary precision and technical familiarity. 8The real test lies in how bidders price risk without any clarifications on module-level uncertainties.
4) ONGC trims holding days but keeps tax and downtime risks on contractors in TCP-DST and specialised services pre-bid replies 8Behind a seemingly routine corrigendum, ONGC has quietly hardened its stance on LIH taxes, explosives and idle-tool compensation in its latest TCP-DST tender. 8A few surgical concessions on sample disposal, holding periods and preventive maintenance give contractors just enough certainty to sharpen their models, but not enough to soften the risk profile. 8The real story is how these replies will shape pricing, fleet deployment and CIS-driven collaboration across ONGC’s entire wireline and TCP-DST ecosystem.
5) PEL extends North Karanpura CBM HDPE pipe and fittings tender PEL/CBM/HDPE Pipe & Fittings after heavy corrigendum traffic. 8A dense stack of pre-bid responses and annexure changes has pushed PEL’s North Karanpura HDPE pipe tender beyond its original 19 November deadline. 8Bidders now get one extra week to re-cut their numbers against a new SOR and price format without any relief on EMD, PBG or validity. 8Whether that 7-day extension broadens competition or simply hardens risk premiums will only be visible at bid opening.
6) ONGC Cauvery Asset pushes effluent water tanker to 27 November 2025 while keeping tight risk terms intact. 8Behind a simple seven-day shift in the GeM calendar, ONGC has left every hard commercial and technical line on its effluent water tanker tender untouched. 8Bidders now get extra time to line up compliant, GPS-fitted tankers and finance EMD, but must still live with a long price-lock and strict exclusivity. 8Whether this extension broadens the field or just rewards a handful of large fleets will be clear only when the technical packets are opened.
1) Inspectorate Griffith sweeps BPCL’s dual-port export survey ARC 8BPCL has awarded both export-survey schedules—Mumbai and Kochi—to a single bidder after a tightly filtered competition restricted to BPCL-registered agencies. The final pricing undercuts BPCL’s own estimated values, signalling disciplined quoting in a niche service pool. The option clause and the ARC structure now give BPCL significant flexibility over year-round export operations.
2) Mantec takes GAIL’s DUPl–DDPL environmental package with 4.5% margin over L2 8GAIL’s environmental clearance package for the DUPl–DDPL augmentation pipeline closed with only three qualified agencies after stringent Category-A and hydrocarbon-infra filters. The final bids reveal a narrow spread between the top two contenders and a steep premium quoted by the third. The structure of the package shows how GAIL is consolidating marine, CRZ and liaisoning risks onto a single contractor.
1) NDA-gated purge gas recovery unit tender waives EMD but tightens inspection and price-change rules in NRL PPU project 8NRL’s purge gas recovery unit tender for the polypropylene project removes EMD but replaces it with dense layers of performance security and TPI obligations. Vendors must sign an NDA just to see the full MR and BOQ, and then live with a hard bar on post-bid price changes and reverse-auction being off the table. How bidders price this mix of softer entry and tougher execution risk will determine whether the membrane package becomes a competitive benchmark or a risk-priced outlier.
2) Gujarat Gas LNG Sanchore tender stretches bid window by 18 days without easing heavy O&M and penalty load 8Gujarat Gas has pushed back the bid deadline three times for its Sanchore LNG storage and regasification tender, taking the closing date from 07-11-2025 to 25-11-2025. The extensions come even as the tender retains a demanding OEM/ASP-based BQC, a dense penalty matrix and a multi-layer CPBG structure tied to five years of O&M. For bidders, more time is on offer, but the underlying risk and pricing architecture remains firmly locked in.
3) MRPL delayed coker insulation tender gets six-day GeM bid extension 8MRPL has quietly pushed back the GeM bid closing for its coke drum insulation contract in the delayed coker unit Phase-III by six days, from 20-11-2025 to 26-11-2025. The shift comes even as strict experience and safety filters, a zero-minimum-quantity stance and wide option clauses remain untouched. How that mix of tighter risk and looser timing plays out for bidder appetite and shutdown readiness will be decided only once the bids are opened.
4) Single-vendor ER probe calibration tender pushed to 27 November in IOCL Guwahati refinery 8IOCL’s Guwahati refinery has quietly granted a one-week extension on its proprietary ER probe calibration tender to 27-11-2025. The move comes in a GeM custom-bid that is already hard-wired to a single OEM, backed by a 39-month bank guarantee and NIST-traceable performance requirements. What looks like a small calendar shift could still carry implications for reliability planning, vendor leverage and how IOCL defends single-tender maintenance buys.
5) BPCL pushes Uttar Pradesh CBG land-liaison consultancy bid to 27 November 8BPCL has quietly moved the closing date for its Uttar Pradesh CBG land-consultancy tender by a week, from 20-11-2025 to 27-11-2025. The extension comes in a bid that already loads the consultant with end-to-end responsibility for identifying, securing and registering government land across seven tehsils on a milestone-linked payment structure. What has not changed is BPCL’s strong option rights on scope and duration, and the uneasy tension between GeM’s “no EMD” flag and an ATC that still talks about deposit requirements.
An unseemly fight and subsequent drama 8A monsoon shutdown of its main asset 8A blowout elsewhere 8The headline numbers look good, but that is misleading But then hopefully the worst is over for the company.

New data shows a staggering truth: firms making the same product can differ 20-fold in energy efficiency. The laggards aren’t catching up — if anything, the gap is widening. 8The study warns that this dispersion is now a structural drag on competitiveness, emissions, and pricing power. 8This counterfactual study is explosive: simply bringing the worst 25% of firms up to the 25th-percentile benchmark would cut industrial energy use almost in half, with zero loss of output. For policymakers, this is the closest thing to an emissions “free lunch.”Details
