Water infra for hydrogen: Tender demands 25-year lifecycle via EPC+O&M
8The tender for a 10 MLD treatment system linked to a green hydrogen complex requires EPC execution and 10-year O&M under lifecycle standards, including high-purity DM and WHO-grade potable water output. The project is structured for full functionality over 25 years.
8The design mandates 1 MLD DM water each through RO–Mixed Bed and RO–EDI pathways, with 3×50% redundancy. Such dual-path DM treatment is tailored to feed electrolyzers in the hydrogen hub and ensures water quality optimization under varying operational loads.
8Though the treatment output is capped at 10 MLD, the intake system is sized for 20 MLD—an early indicator of planned scale-up in green hydrogen production. Future doubling of capacity may be achieved with minimal interface alteration.

8With 3D scope offloaded to LEPCC, consultants are nudged into a reviewer role rather than an engineering anchor.
Stage-wise payments reshuffled in HPCL’s biogas PMC tender; contractor risks rise in revised model
8HPCL has revised milestone-linked payouts for PMC work in its compressed biogas plant tender.
8The new structure front-loads responsibilities while squeezing terminal-stage payouts — a shift that tilts risk towards consultants.
Scope splits, 3D model handoff, and LEPCC control: HPCL alters PMC brief midstream
8A post-query reshuffle has shifted key design and execution responsibilities away from the PMC and into LEPCC hands, particularly 3D modelling and tender scoping. Payment terms and sequencing now skew earlier deliverables toward timeline-sensitive approvals.

L1 bid locks in workover rig at Rs 15 crore/year baseline
8With the awarded sum spread over 3 years, Deep’s bid effectively prices each operational year at ~Rs 15 crore, inclusive of rig, crew, tools, and mobility—an aggressive financial structuring in today’s service climate.
8GTC Techno Exploration trailed Deep Industries by Rs 8.4 crore in the final price race, indicating conservative L2 pricing assumptions or over-provisioned service inputs.
Low bidder lands Rs 4.11 crore tubewell contract in Jorhat fields
8Girin Chutia secures ONGC’s three-year drilling and development package with a sub-5% margin over the estimated contract value, edging out BSR Corporation.
OIL’s Rs 22 crore seismic package sees lone technical qualifier
8Despite the scope’s scale and sensitivity, only this company crossed the technical threshold—raising flags over domestic readiness for cable-less acquisition.

Full-scope QA oversight mandated for offshore E&P
8TPI agencies are expected to conduct 100% inspection and witness activities across fabrication, load-out, and offshore hook-up phases.
8The scope spans platforms, pipelines, cable laying, and post-commissioning, signaling ONGC’s tight grip on quality assurance.
8Every bid now requires inspection agencies to independently review adequacy of marine spreads—an area traditionally assessed by contractors. This shift reflects a growing push to derisk installation timelines during monsoon-sensitive campaigns.
8Detailed coating supervision—including surface prep, preheat checks, and peel tests—has been made integral to all pipeline and clamp-on packages. This underlines ONGC’s intent to minimize offshore rework risk due to faulty protection layers.
8Unlike legacy inspection contracts, the new mandate pushes TPI agencies to verify liquidation of punch points across all platform types. This blurs traditional roles of owners, contractors, and inspectors in final commissioning stages.
8Even basic layout compliance for trays, lighting, and paging systems must now be reviewed by TPI agencies. The move targets layout quality—often a casualty in cost-focused brownfield retrofit projects.
Instrumentation calibration contracts shrink to six-month cycle in ONGC’s Mehsana asset
8In a shift from longer calibration tenures, the current scope demands six-month contractual coverage, pushing vendors to recalibrate cost models, manpower allocation, and logistics for a compressed operational window.
Single-vendor integrated model floated for Capillary-Based Hydraulic Pumping operations
8Unlike past models split by component or region, the tender consolidates supply, operation, and maintenance into a single-vendor contract—pushing accountability and performance linkage higher.
8In a departure from earlier practices, wellhead modification responsibility now rests with the O&M vendor. This shifts site integration risk to the contractor—potentially complicating pricing and liability estimates.
8The vendor must handle both downhole and surface CBHP systems—demanding experience across chemical capillary systems, pressure control, and well-site integration. This dual-skill expectation filters serious bidders.
ONGC scouts turnkey EPS operator for Jaisalmer marginal fields
8A full-scope contract has been floated to handle crude and gas from marginal wells using a mobile Early Production System. The project targets quick monetization of early-stage discoveries in the Ghotaru region.
8Scope includes not just crude separation, but also gas flaring or recovery via GEGs, water treatment, and ETPs—positioning this tender as a high-responsibility contract for well-site integration experts.

8With multiple licensors, aggressive timelines, and deep integration with legacy units, the tender is emerging as a test case for future brownfield refinements.
8While adding technological strength, CLG and KBR’s involvement appears to be complicating document access and bidder alignment.

8Steep trade collapse in May raises questions over IGX’s institutional stickiness
 A 71% month-on-month plunge in volumes—barely explained by seasonal demand—suggests the exchange lacks core user commitment. Who walked away, and why?
 8Ceiling price gas is distorting the market

It is a fraud instituted at the behest of deep-pocketed companies
And India risks reputational damage and procurement exclusion.
And that is so is being singled out by everyone
8A green badge for brown steel?
India’s new taxonomy caps emissions at 2.2 tCO? per tonne of finished steel—high enough to include some of the most carbon-intensive producers globally. It’s not a leap forward, it’s a rebranding.
 8When low ambition becomes national policy
While global buyers demand cradle-to-gate carbon data, India’s “green” steel could still pollute at levels seen in aging blast furnace setups.
 8A missed opportunity to lead
Instead of aligning with global decarbonization trajectories, India has chosen the path of least resistance—creating a domestic comfort zone that may stifle global competitiveness.
 8Star-rated but stranded
The government’s 3- to 5-star classification system gives every steelmaker a shot at being “green”—but in global markets, even 5-star Indian steel may not qualify for procurement in public projects.
 8A climate shield or a trade barrier?
By setting a high emissions threshold and ignoring full-scope lifecycle emissions, India’s green steel definition may eventually clash with CBAM-style import restrictions abroad.
 8More branding, less carbon-cutting
There’s no mandate for lifecycle assessments, minimal scope 3 accounting, and limited verification. In its current form, India’s green steel tag is more about optics than impact.
8Green by decree, not by data
Unlike ResponsibleSteel or GSCC, India’s standard does not yet require independent third-party audits or full EPD disclosure—raising questions about the credibility of the certification itself.

PNGRB’s new LNG terminal regulations may look like reform, but industry insiders see a different picture—one where opaque approvals, performance bonds, and mandatory disclosures could act as covert deterrents to new entrants, ultimately shielding existing operators from fresh competition.

IOCL locks CRZ risk on single consultant for NAOB Rambili hydrocarbon hub: Dangerous precedent?
8In a no-contest single-tender, IOCL hands the entire compliance burden—including public hearing representation and CRZ documentation to this consultancy, under a tight 30-day schedule and fixed fee model.
8The point to note is that if this model succeeds, more IOCL environmental approvals may be routed via the contractor, reshaping the role of independent NABET firms in CRZ-heavy projects.
IOCL tightens financial leash with full ABG on free-issue catalyst metals: But ambiguity remains
8Vendors must now furnish full-value ABGs even for IOCL-supplied precious metals—adding liquidity strain in an already stringent bid landscape.
8New guidelines allow merged entities to claim legacy experience—giving large groups more flexibility but raising due diligence for evaluation.
8But the tender skips clarity on post-use reclaim, wear loss expectations, or disposal obligations—potential cost flashpoints left vague.

Owner alters bid rules mid-course as electrolyser deadline shifts again
8MRPL’s green hydrogen tender is undergoing back-end reconfiguration amid tepid bidder alignment.
8The overhaul of the bid qualification matrix signals possible internal red flags—raising uncertainty for bidders who shaped proposals around the original criteria.
8A new evaluation matrix suggests either overly narrow earlier specs or post-facto bidder pressure—raising questions about internal decision flow.
8Delays and redrafts in India’s PSU-led hydrogen tenders point to a broader mismatch between policy speed and market maturity in green molecule projects.
BPCL tightens bid evaluation filters while rejecting calls for BOQ logic fixes at Bina ETP
8A second commercial amendment to BPCL’s effluent treatment plant tender redefines how total bid value is assessed, with power consumption, AMC charges, and custom duty present values added to the mix.
8The latest amendment introduces a multi-pronged cost evaluation model, including guaranteed power loadings and AMC for seven distinct equipment types—penalizing inefficient or underpriced O&M strategies.
8But pre-bid concerns over redundant AMC line items were left unaddressed, leaving usability gaps unresolved.
Segmented Timelines and PGTR Conditions Add Execution Risk to BPREP Water Block Tender
8Despite deadline extension, BPCL’s RWTP–RODMP–ZLDP package leaves key interconnection and payment conditions open-ended.
8Bidders face tight phase-wise milestones, capped PRS, and staggered O&M handovers.
8Bidders raised at least five discrepancies between equipment list and datasheets—raising red flags for procurement and installation sequencing.
8Despite initial confusion, clarification affirms that acid/caustic procurement is contractor’s reimbursable liability only for first year of O&M.
8Contradictory replies on condensate destination—cooling sump vs UF feed—highlighted by several vendors, but response deflects rather than resolves.

Only One Bidder Qualifies in highly intrusive, tech-heavy Manpower Productivity Tender for Kochi Polypropylene Project
8Despite three bids, only Ienergy Innovations cleared qualification.
8This signals either entry-barrier friction or pricing in long-term risk on EIL's digital productivity rollout.
8Only one qualified bid casts doubt on industry readiness for highly intrusive, tech-heavy site surveillance mandates.
8The contract’s final value overshoots eligibility benchmark by 33%, hinting at high implementation complexity or aggressive service level commitments.
Tightrope win: Coastal Marine edges out rival by razor thin margin in HPCL’s subsea wrapping bid
8A razor-thin margin of just Rs 3,055 separated the top two bidders in HPCL’s subsea pipeline repair job, signaling aggressive competition.
8Meanwhile, a 60% higher L3 bid highlights strategic divergence among players.
L1 gap raises eyebrows in Kochi PP pump bid
8With nearly 40% spread between L1 and L3, BPCL’s vertical pump award hints at sharply divergent cost models among bidders.
