Undercut wins ONGC’s Rajahmundry environmental monitoring tender
8Bureau Veritas bagged the three-year KG-PG basin monitoring contract—edging out rivals by tight margins while outpricing the highest bidder by over 145%. Future bids may see rising margin compression.
8Although L2 was within 15% of L1, no MSE preference was triggered—signaling either procedural omission or intentional lowballing by Bureau Veritas to lock out rivals.
Rig charter deadline stretches to July: OIL posts eighth extension
8A 6-year rig hire tender first floated with a March deadline has now seen its bid due date pushed to 3 July 2025.
8Despite eight extensions, only two have cited formal document changes—raising questions on the process discipline behind a marquee upstream contract.
RTDMMA tender sees final deadline push to 26 June amid high-stakes analytics rollout
8The E-ICB tender for real-time data management on onshore and offshore rigs has been granted a last extension, with ONGC explicitly ruling out further delays.
8Bidders must now commit to a solution that spans multi-location integration with stringent uptime SLAs and scaling needs.
No reason stated for ONGC's pipeline survey tender extension till July 14
8The tender closing date for a 3-year rate contract on pre-engineering surveys and ROU acquisition has been silently extended from June 19 to July 14.
8Given the scope spans across 12+ states and requires statutory coordination, multiple pre-bid issues may still be unresolved.
No change in core scope: explosive management terms remain intact
8Despite the amendment, the detailed technical responsibilities—including licensing, escort logistics, and PESO compliance—stand unchanged.
8The tweak is administrative, but strategically vital for bidder eligibility.
Heavy-duty water logistics contract opens for three-year well ops in Assam
8A national tender calls for six operational water tankers to support workover rigs and HF jobs across Assam oilfields.
8Bidders must commit a minimum of three tankers, with deployment to be completed within 60 days of award and flexible asset scaling based on operational needs.

LPG and GSU bottlenecks in focus as ONGC sets one-year Hazira pipeline upgrade blitz
8The tender spans three critical upgrades—flare diversion, emergency cooling for IA/IG compressors, and GSU pressure relief—all to be delivered in just one year.
8The project blends low-carbon intent with operational gains, but ONGC's cost-push to contractors via design burden and LD exposure may undercut bidding enthusiasm.
Major lighting upgrade planned for key ONGC facility with nine high masts
8ONGC has floated a tender for the supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of nine high mast lighting systems—three 30-meter and six 20-meter structures—at its Uran plant, main store, and CISF barracks.
8The scope includes galvanised polygonal towers, flameproof mechanisms, and raising/lowering gear systems, suggesting a significant operational infrastructure upgrade.
Wireline and compressor O&M support contract spans 3-year term with court-protected labour caveat
8A new tender floated by a central upstream major seeks contract services to support well completion operations using wireline winches and mobile compressors.
8Notably, it mandates retention of court-protected workers, adding legal complexity to bidder staffing plans.
8With OT payments capped at 5760 hours across three years, any surge in campaign work or night jobs could force vendors into absorbing unreimbursed labour cost.
Duliajan well servicing tender mandates 30–40 km fabrication workshop radius, self-mobilisation
8A new 2-year contract calls for onsite and offsite support for well servicing and sucker rod pump units, with bidders required to maintain a fabrication workshop within a 40 km radius. 8Contractors must arrange their own transport, tools, and medical support—tightening operational autonomy requirements.
BPRL seeks high-calibre consultants for DSF-IV and OALP-X bid vetting with 20+ years’ experience
8A short-duration but high-impact contract invites geoscientists, reservoir engineers, and facility experts to vet field clusters under current bidding rounds.
8Each expert is expected to bring over two decades of experience to review in-place volumes, develop conceptual FDPs, and estimate full-field CAPEX and OPEX.
8With a 20-year minimum experience bar but only 15 days of engagement, BPRL’s expert hiring model may paradoxically limit senior participation.

Integrated fertilizer hub takes shape: SSP, DAP, and acid plants planned in Maharashtra
8Madhya Bharat Agro Products Ltd has confirmed the establishment of a 1000 TPD SSP/GSSP unit alongside an integrated DAP/NPK facility—complete with phosphoric and sulphuric acid plants—at Nardana, Dhule. The move marks a major backward integration step and reinforces MBAPL’s long-term play in the fertilizer manufacturing value chain.

Global vendors say unannounced inspections don’t work—PNGRB urged to rethink enforcement for imported proprietary equipment.
8Several high-end manufacturers refuse third-party access—industry asks for IRN-based approvals instead of rigid TPI mandates.
8Then again, Mandating Positive Material Identification on all critical non-carbon steel valves faces resistance—operators want flexibility.
8Safety standards for Emergency Shutdown Valves come under scanner—industry seeks clarity on ‘explosion-proof’ requirements.
8Entities seek clarity on IEC standards for signal cables and question the continuing use of outdated galvanized iron enclosures.
8Board agrees to include India’s emerging carbon market in safety regulations—adding “as may be applicable” for long-term adaptability.

Bidder cashflow strains mount as BPCL’s mounded bullet package hardens on scope and payment terms
8Despite extended deadlines, BPCL and EIL have resisted contractor pleas for land, utilities, and staggered payment relief in the BPREP bullet package, pushing cashflow and risk burdens squarely onto bidders.
8The shift reflects a tightening approach across PSU-led petrochemical expansions.
8Also no land, no power as BPCL denies fabrication yard support in Bina bullet package
Repeated extensions in NRL’s methyl amine EOI raise questions on global licensor interest
8With the bid submission deadline pushed thrice—now extended till July 2—NRL's search for a global methyl amine technology partner signals either tepid interest or highly selective licensor readiness. A closer look reveals what’s at stake.
8With Di-Methyl Amine output pegged at minimum 12 KTPA, licensors may be recalibrating tech promises before committing commercially.
8Absence of FORM-4-based public clarifications hinders insight into global licensor concerns—has EIL lost a chance to course correct early?
IOCL’s market advisory tender: Favours price over insight?
8The limited tender for high-stakes valuation and transaction advisory work gives IOCL post-award scope revision freedom, raising exposure for consultants. Pre-bid clarifications are now live with a short four-day extension granted.
8Bringing reverse auctions into high-end advisory contracts marks a shift that could skew outcomes in favor of price over insight.
Limited NDA-gated electric heater tender signals high control ethos in Petronet's PDH-PP rollout
8Only three specialized players made it past the prequalification firewall for Petronet’s heater package—underscoring how Honeywell UOP’s proprietary process architecture is shaping procurement contours at Dahej.
8Even though it's labeled “limited-global”, only vendors with direct email invitations could participate—raising fairness concerns.
Bid battle down to decimals: Kalpana wins by 0.47% margin

Tight leash on bidders: EIL’s exchanger tender for PDH unit pushes high-risk payment, strict NDA filters
8Zero deviation, 80% ABG-backed milestone payments, and NDA-gated access define PLL’s exchanger tender.
8Vendors face cashflow and timeline pressures with no price variation cushion.
Rotor, relay, and risk: Nitrogen package tightens screws on EPC bidders
8From spares inclusion to CPBG interest penalties, BPCL’s Bina Petchem tender sets a new bar for financial and engineering compliance, even as bid extensions hint at industry unease.
8Contractor’s request to use 110V UPS over 240V shot down; no deviation entertained, even for cost-saving design.
8Clarifications reinforce dual PCC feeder expectations, complicating electrical panel sizing and cost estimation.
8Contractor’s alternate HT feeder routing from SS-109 refused, despite voltage drop concerns—execution risks loom.
8Despite bidder’s claim that SAS is outside scope, client response directs them to datasheet—confusion persists.
PFO flexibility raises emission bar but sidesteps enforcement gaps in Bina steam boiler EPC
8BPCL’s third technical amendment introduces conditional leeway for PFO-heavy firing blends, but still avoids requiring emission control retrofits — exposing a regulatory grey zone that hands cost advantage to contractors.
8The amendment eases operational limits while raising questions on real-world enforcement.
8Revised commercial amendment reaffirms ultra-low turndown guarantees for gaseous fuels at 20% MCR, requiring high fidelity steam purity at all loads — a technical demand few vendors may easily meet.
8Loading penalties apply for excess fuel consumption beyond 15.68 TPH of RLNG, but no bonus for exceeding performance — a one-way clause that favors the client.
8The deletion of a previous clause that explicitly prohibited emission controls for PFO firing subtly clears room for workaround strategies — but stops short of mandating them.
BPCL tightens contractor compliance: CPBG delays now attract interest penalty in Bina Ethylene Double Wall Storage Tank tender
8A new clause in BPCL’s mega ethylene tank tender shifts the risk needle — bidders must furnish CPBG within 45 days or face interest charges.
8RA bill deductions are no longer a fallback, signaling a stricter post-award posture.
8The June 23 extension follows four earlier ones, suggesting bidder hesitation — but no softening on security or performance obligations.
Repeated deadline extensions flag execution concerns in BPCL's Bina LLDPE/HDPE swing unit bid
8With four successive deadline shifts and tightened insurance and staffing clauses, BPCL's flagship polymer swing unit tender shows signs of mounting bid complexity. Revised documents point to higher risk allocation on contractors.
8With McKinsey, KBC, Univation, EIL, and Toyo named as consultants, BPCL maintains full exclusion—some firms boxed out.

Vedanta’s upstream operations clocked 103 kboepd in FY25—down from 127.5 kboepd last year. It’s the biggest annual drop in a decade, masked by early-stage optimism around new discoveries.
8Even 28 infill wells and ASP injections couldn’t stem the fall at Barmer. Gross production dropped sharply across Rajasthan, with legacy blocks no longer holding the line.
8Cambay’s decline—from 8.9 to 5.1 kboepd—outpaces even Barmer, putting a question mark on its recovery strategy and cost viability.
8While early production has begun from OALP blocks like Jaya and new reserves added at Rudra-1, total contribution rose by just 2.4 kboepd—nowhere near compensating for the Rajasthan slide. Details

No room for deviation: IOCL’s Haldia effluent impact study bid rides on tight 4-month clock
8A low-value yet high-stakes EIL tender calls for zero deviation compliance, barring pre-bid clarifications and tightening NIC registration timelines. River discharge sampling oversight emerges as an unstated risk in IOCL’s latest ESG drive.
No EMD, Single-Bid Format: BCPL pressure vessel tender leans pro-vendor
8A four-month supply window, absence of bid security, and simplified single-bid format collectively signal BCPL’s bid to fast-track procurement—though risks of underqualified entries remain.
8The low barrier could attract wider participation but also warrants tighter post-award scrutiny.
Corrigenda avalanche hits CPCL hydrogen tender
8With over 20 corrigenda issued, CPCL’s 2-KTA GHGU tender appears stuck in a vortex of technical clarifications, shifting risks, and bidder hesitation.
8But despite bidders' queries on green hydrogen pricing assumptions, contract take-or-pay protection, and grid backup remain only partially addressed.
8Multiple bidders have expressed concerns over off-take certainty, effluent load specs, and clarity on O&M scope under BOO.
Five extensions, one crackdown: MRPL pump tender tightens cartel clause, but stays mum on specs
8Despite extending bids till 24 June, EIL has refused to soften specs or release pre-bid clarifications.
8A sharper cartel clause and revised CPBG raise the bar—but vendor hesitation may be brewing beneath the surface.
8Prior PBQRs flagged critical data gaps but EIL’s silence leaves vendors to guess under threat of disqualification.

Compliance traps in seismic bid: Too much ambiguity
8From annexure confusion to capped liabilities, the bid process triggered multiple queries that revealed documentation gaps and evaluation ambiguities.
8As a result three out of five bidders failed to qualify.
8TNG and others were hit by misnumbered annexures. A late corrigendum fixed labels, but not before at least one bidder likely submitted against incorrect formats—raising procedural fairness questions.
8Absolute Imaging sought clarity on how 100 technical marks would be split—OIL offered none. Without evaluation rubrics, bidders face unpredictable scoring during presentations.
8Those who passed likely did so by aligning documentation perfectly despite ambiguities.
8For others, unclear answers became silent disqualifiers.
Adjoining zone clause may corner contractors into unknown terrain
8A corrigendum follows a familiar trend: scope pressure surfaces during pre-bid, prompting a reactive expansion under original pricing envelope.
Retention cut from 10% to 5% amid liquidity pressure
8Whether prompted by market signals or bidder pushback, this mid-bid revision reflects a softer stance on cashflow terms—critical for LSTK and EPC players.

96 well drilling programme by OIL: Silly ambiguities cleared
8Multiple PMLs across Dibrugarh and Charaideo districts now fall under a unified proposal before the EAC, signalling accelerated multi-block exploration efforts
8Ironically though, the environment authorities replaced offshore-specific terms with onshore standards (why should they have creeped up in an onland development programme is anyone’s guess), allowing Assam’s 96-well development campaign to proceed without classification ambiguity
EAC agrees to well location shift for private Gujarat drilling project

OIL’s pressure safety valves tender fixes 5-day deadline, squeezes contractor margin
8With just five days to test, certify, and reinstall each batch, bidders must scale logistics precisely or risk penalties. The timeline is tighter than industry norms for valve calibration.
8Contractors must generate a spares list after calibration—but have no mandate to supply or install them. This bifurcation could prolong system downtime
8OIL restricts contractor to removing only 5 PSVs/TSVs at a time, a logistical bottleneck when servicing 200 valves in two years. Bidders face increased overheads per trip.
SunPetro’s mirror contracts: Offshore dive vs. onshore drive
8Both tenders look alike on paper—but one dives into the sea with ROVs and NDT divers, while the other digs into five years of wellhead maintenance.
8A reminder that standardized contracts still need asset-specific thinking.
Bid window for complex RSS-MWD-LWD tender widened by over 3 weeks
8The extension buys time for global vendors to configure multi-party proposals.
8High integration and interface risks may have slowed initial interest.
8While technical clauses remain untouched, the extension points to bidders needing more time to stitch together compliant multi-service alliances.
8Logistics-heavy deployment in Assam’s hilly blocks and bundled tool demands could be deterring shallow-prepped bidders.
8The integration of multiple downhole services under one umbrella remains a tendering challenge in India’s onshore terrain.
Rig tender: No relaxation for startups or MSEs despite aggressive Make in India push
8OIL maintains strict entry norms, shutting out startups and MSMEs even for services.
8With high-end rig specs and no turnover leniency, field remains tilted to seasoned players.
Drilling tender for Sadiya block delayed by 7 months amid bidder readiness gaps
8The bid submission deadline has now moved from as far back as 10 December 2024 to 15 July 2025—a rare extension of over 200 days that hints at structural or market-side bottlenecks in contractor mobilization.
8The fully integrated nature of the contract—drilling, manpower, equipment—may have filtered out niche or partial-service players, limiting competition and causing schedule slippage.
First-mover EOI on UBD gets more time amid consultant hesitation
8Oil India’s push to explore underbalanced drilling sees its first timeline shift.
8Clearly technical proposal demands may be limiting the pool of qualified global bidders.

Does EIL wins IOCL’s furnace BDEP job with 34% edge over rival; margin hints at aggressive IP leverage?
8Engineers India Limited undercut Enereff Engineers by over 34% to bag IOCL Guwahati’s furnace BDEP contract.
8The sharp price gap suggests IP reuse and margin compression are reshaping engineering consultancy bids.
8No bidder was disqualified, yet the substantial bid spread indicates divergent cost assumptions or execution strategies.

M&A advisor hunt: Whoever makes it though is in for a lot of deals
8A midstream correction to evaluation rules and a last-minute deadline extension suggest an attempt to attract top-tier transaction advisors for high-stakes deals, but the stringent IBBI filter may deter global boutiques.
8The amended bid dilute the advantage of lean firms with fewer dealmakers; clear thresholds now sharply benefit firms with 30+ experienced M&A staff.
Fifth deadline shift in this DM–CPU tender signals bidder unease over scope complexity
8The latest extension to 23 June reflects persistent hesitation among bidders, possibly driven by design interface issues and unclear execution liabilities.
8The owner may need to issue a clarificatory addendum to preserve competition.
8Despite routine scope, the DM and CPU combo appears to have triggered technical doubts and risk hesitancy among EPC players.
8Multiple EPCs likely raised demarcation and responsibility-sharing concerns which remain unclarified to date.
Fire scope left vague, CP distances undefined: BPCL’s Bina bullet tender leaves bidders seeking clarity
8Despite extensive pre-bid clarifications, key utility interfaces like fire water distribution and cathodic protection power distances remain ambiguous.
8This may impact bidder risk premiums and design conservatism.
BPCL’s Bina Petchem column tender tightens specs, bidders get more time but not more clarity
8Despite high-entry barriers and stringent ASME and cladding requirements, BPCL extends bid dates twice without addressing core bidder concerns.
8Cost, qualification, and verification burdens shift heavily to contractors — a trend worth watching.
8With demands of diameter, metallurgy and tray experience across separate vessels, few shops may qualify — filtering out even seasoned midsize players.
8Then again, disallowing unincorporated JVs shuts out collaborative bids between small ASME shops and tech-rich partners, reducing competition further.
Technical amendments tighten risk and cost load on contractors in COT Vadinar tender
8The first technical and commercial amendments in BPCL’s COT Vadinar composite tender subtly shift liabilities and reject key contractor asks on risk, cashflow, and scope clarity—raising early flags for EPC players ahead of June 26.
8The VDU heater revamp quietly dropped and the cope narrows without cost revision. In fact that the structural data for a critical unit has been deleted without downstream explanation, raising questions on execution sequence and package separation.
8Despite multiple concerns, replies skirt around shutdown logic, site interfaces, and hook-up responsibilities—setting stage for site disputes
