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.

But then hopefully the worst is over for the company. Details
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

1) TPIA scope turns Rajahmundry Asset gas compressor relocation into a tightly policed LSTK plus assurance package
8ONGC Rajahmundry Asset is not just hiring an inspection agency for a compressor shift; it is embedding a third party into every phase of a high-stakes LSTK project.
8From HAZOP and welding to EPF/ESI attendance and contract closure, the TPIA is being asked to do far more than tick boxes.
8How that expanded mandate is priced and exercised will decide whether this compressor move becomes a benchmark or a cautionary tale for future projects.
 
2) Three-year rig switchgear calibration tender pushes open-ended consumable and logistics risk onto contractors
8ONGC Rajahmundry Asset is turning routine breaker servicing into a fleet-wide reliability and compliance project.
8Every ACB, relay and earth-fault device on eight rigs now comes with its own test protocol, certificate and sticker.
8How contractors price a scope where “anything necessary” is their risk will decide whether this becomes a reliability benchmark or a margin trap.
 
3) Tight timelines, tough theft liabilities and no wage relief as incumbents’ clarifications fail to soften SRP O&M risk
8Participating bidders tried to push ONGC to recognise monsoon realities, digital downtime and wage escalation in its flagship SRP maintenance tender.
8The replies show a client willing to clarify technical boundaries but largely unwilling to share operational and financial risk.
8How Aakash, BSCC, Bukaka, Rajas and Shree Sai finally price this risk-heavy contract will decide whether this becomes ONGC’s new template for field maintenance.
 
4) ONGC Mehsana’s three-year temporary pipe type earthing consolidation bid is off the table, but its cancelled GeM tender still reveals the asset’s safety-services playbook.
8ONGC Mehsana tried to bundle drilling, workover and lightning earthing under a single RA-enabled GeM contract with tighter PQs and a 25% option clause.
8The tender is now cancelled, but the SOW and bid configuration show how the asset wants to centralise safety-critical rig services while keeping volume and price risk firmly on contractors.
8The unanswered question is whether the next iteration will soften those edges or double down on this model.
 
5) Revamp window widens but variable-cost and quality clamps stay tight in Ahmedabad ETP O&M-plus-revamp tender
8ONGC has quietly doubled the revamp period for its Ahmedabad Asset effluent treatment plants and softened a key performance-penalty trigger.
8But it has refused to budge on ultra-tight outlet quality, minimum variable-cost floors and stiff PQ and financial criteria that favour only a handful of strong bidders.
8The real story now is whether contractors can still carve out margin under a contract that gives more time but very little financial or technical slack.
 
6) Bid closing pushed to 3 December as OIL trades time for stronger OEM participation on open hole logging units
8Oil India has quietly given global logging OEMs two more weeks to line up bids for a high-stakes open hole package.
8The financial and qualification bars remain exactly where they were, but the calendar has shifted to 3 December.
8Whether that extra time delivers more competition or merely reveals how narrow the serious bidder pool really is will only be visible at opening.

1) Cooling tower package demands early technical alignment for EIL’s TNT Plant project.
8The decision to hold a pre-tender meet specifically for the cooling tower package underscores its criticality to the overall TNT plant's operational stability and heat rejection duty. EIL's open dialogue is designed to pre-empt technical ambiguities that often plague utility packages, which interface with multiple process streams.
 
2) Bina Petchem and Refinery Expansion Project:  Procurement of pressure vessels for bitumen blowing unit expansion project
8The tender focuses on a key mechanical package, SS pressure vessels , required for the complex petrochemical diversification plan at Bina. This equipment is integral to the new facilities being set up using the licensed Pörner Biturox technology. The successful fabrication and delivery of this equipment is a critical path item for the downstream project's ultimate operational success.

1) Repeated schedule extension for critical special purpose pumps signals vendor struggle with licensor-specific technical rigor at BPCL’s BPREP
8BPCL has revised the closing date for its crucial horizontal special purpose pumps package three times, pushing the deadline out by 42 days to 02-12-2025. This significant schedule slippage for long-lead equipment highlights the difficulty vendors are facing in complying with the stringent technical specifications for the Bina ethylene cracker unit. The market signal suggests that the complexity, likely driven by the licensor's technology requirements, is currently throttling competitive participation.
 
2) MRPL’s RGC VSD conversion study: Extended
8The Feasibility and Constructability Study for the MRPL Aromatic Complex Recycle Gas Compressor (RGC) drive conversion has been extended for a third time.
 
3) BPCL BPREP tender extension for large-diameter fittings
8Despite a near-three-week extension and the waiver of earnest money deposit for the majority of the items, the latest corrigendum reveals an aggressive commercial strategy by BPCL. The revised option clause grants the purchaser a cumulative 50% quantity adjustment right, split between contract placement and the subsequent operational phase.

8ONGC’s replies to pre-bid queries on the western offshore clamp-on project quietly rebalance risk between contractor and client without touching the hardest technical standards.
8Completion-period, TPIA and conductor-scope clarifications give bidders better line of sight on weather, documentation and marine spreads, while API monogram, SCC and anti-cartel clauses stay firmly locked.
8The real story is whether this mix of selective softening and hard red lines will widen the bidder pool or simply reward a small circle of offshore EPC veterans.

1) NRL instrument works extended eight times: 'optimized evaluation' forces two-package split award at NREP
8A cumulative 63-day extension to Numaligarh refinery’s PFCC/MS block instrumentation works signals deep bidder complexity. Critical evaluation criteria have been engineered to ensure the award is split between two contractors.
 
2) NRL’s PFCC/MS block instrumentation tender sees eight extensions and a key vendor blacklisted
8The bid deadline for NRL’s complex PFCC and MS block instrumentation works has been pushed out eight times, delaying the process by 63 days. Simultaneously, the client has used a tender addendum to immediately blacklist a major third-party inspection agency and a key supplier. This unprecedented dual-action granting time while enforcing harsh compliance signals critical maturity challenges within the technical package and a zero-tolerance approach to supply chain risk at NREP.

8Oil India has awarded its Kerala-Konkan tier-1 oil spill response contract.
8The L1 bid sits 25.5% under Sea Care Marine and a staggering 81.9% under Sadhav Shipping, even after a mid-tender GST hike to 18%.
8The real question now is whether this sharply discounted contract can still sustain the young equipment, certified tools and 24x7 offshore readiness that regulators will expect when the OKKA well spuds.

8The technical field for GAIL’s PMC contract on the critical DUPL-DPPL capacity augmentation project has narrowed to three public sector and multinational consulting giants.

8The final pricing for the acetic acid storage tank contract at GMPL’s SEZ unit has exposed deep fault lines in the market, with the L1 bid creating a significant financial spread against its closest rivals. GAIL Mangalore Petrochemicals, however, has layered in unprecedented risk control through a strict dual-PBG mandate for technically dependent foreign entities. This aggressive commercial strategy and regulatory tightening is set to redefine execution risk and liquidity deployment for high-value downstream EPC work.

1) EIL awards OH6 high-speed centrifugal pump package for PLL’s PDH-PP unit to Sundyne
8EIL has finalised the pump package for PLL’s PDH-PP project after a single-bidder contest shaped by licensor and BQC constraints. The award favours a field-proven OH6-type integrally geared machine aligned to UOP’s process envelope. What that means for cost discipline and future rotating-equipment competition sits behind the award narrative.
 
2) IOCL Guwahati awards Part-3 insulation shutdown package to Industrial Associates
8The Guwahati refinery has closed the Part-3 insulation package with a single disclosed L1. The tender moved through a date-extension cycle but without any technical or commercial amendments. The final award reinforces IOCL’s strict vendor-rotation and shutdown-specific PQ norms.
 
3) Atlas Copco secures BPCL BPREP decoking air compressor package under EIL-run tender
8Atlas Copco has taken the integrally-geared compressor package at Bina after a tightly controlled OEM shortlist. The package sits inside BPCL’s wider BPREP rotating-equipment pipeline, where EIL is enforcing some of its strictest PTR and sourcing-matrix rules. The full award structure raises questions about competitive bandwidth and the pricing corridor for API 672 machines.
 
4) HPCL awards VVPL 349-km CIPL survey to Shivi Energy Solutions at a sharp pricing spread
8HPCL has closed the 349-km VVPL CIPL survey with a wide separation between L1 and upper quotes. The awarded rate sits nearly 30–48% below competing bids, signalling a strongly cost-aggressive stance in an interference-heavy corridor. What that means for execution quality and future CP interventions sits deeper in the contract architecture.
 
5) EIL awards Bio-ATF material-handling package at aggressive L1 spread
8EIL has finalised the Bio-ATF material-handling award for MRPL with a distinctly wide price spread across the limited bidder panel. The L1 quote lands well below the mid-table cluster, signalling uneven risk loading for a compliance-heavy two-year package. Behind that number lies a logistics scope that drives critical interfaces across warehouse, transport and refinery operations.

8HPCL has finalised Firecon Consultants as L1 for the engineering consultancy of the Mazgaon Lube Plant revamp.

1) Avant-Garde secures HPRGEL’s three-site CBG DFR-and-PMC mandate
8HPRGEL’s three-site CBG programme has closed with a decisive financial spread and a QCBS-driven shortlist. Avant-Garde’s winning offer outpaced Fichtner by a wide margin but now carries a deep multi-stage execution burden. The tender’s unusually detailed scoring and clause changes hint at a more controlled project-development cycle ahead.
 
2) HPRGE awards multi-site CBG DFR and PMC package to L1 bidder Avant-Garde Systems under tightened QCBS scoring.
8A wide price spread and a reworked QCBS matrix shaped the final outcome of HPRGE’s three-site CBG consultancy tender. The revised technical rubric placed heavy weight on biogas-specific experience and presentation-driven evaluation. What follows maps how those changes influenced the award and what it signals for future CBG procurement.

1) IOCL floats multi-technology ILI tender for Delhi–Panipat–Ambala MJPL sections
8IOCL’s new integrity tender pushes high-resolution A-MFL, UTCW and UTSW tools into two ageing MJPL stretches. The contract demands a single agency capable of cleaning, geometry, metal-loss, crack detection and FFP engineering. Behind the clear technical outline sit stringent qualification filters and a net-of-ITC pricing model that will shape bidder strategy.
 
2) BPCL Kochi Refinery launches three-year integrated exchanger-maintenance contract for Zone 1
8BPCL Kochi Refinery BPCL has opened a three-year mechanical-services tender that consolidates all exchanger works under a single, non-divisible rate contract. The technical spread spans floating-head, fixed-tube-sheet, kettle-type, and HP units, signalling the refinery’s intent to tighten lifecycle governance. Behind the broad scope lie strict timelines, fixed pricing, and a risk matrix that leans heavily toward execution discipline.
 
3) HPCL tightens integrity controls in Visakhapatnam–Vijayawada DCVG survey tender
8HPCL’s latest VVPL survey tender raises the bar on DCVG accuracy, calibration discipline, and NACE-led execution. The mandatory 20-pit validation, no-subcontracting rule, and strict chainage-matching requirements indicate a shift towards deeper integrity assurance. What remains to be seen is how many contractors can meet the skill and documentation thresholds embedded into this procurement.
 
4) IOCL tightens credential bar for IATF consultancy at Mumbai Lube Blending Plant
8IOCL has issued a tightly structured consultancy tender that demands direct IATF 16949:2016 project credentials without allowing similar-service equivalence. The plant’s plan to align its lubricant operations with automotive-grade quality has raised the bar for eligible consultants. What appears to be a modest consultancy scope carries deep procedural and delivery stakes once the clause-level details are unpacked.
