Here is an update: 8Twenty GAs still stuck in neutral despite years of CGD licensing Several gas network areas across Assam, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Chhattisgarh report no PNG connections or pipelines, raising serious questions about rollout accountability. 8Tamil Nadu’s city gas buildout falters in its newest districts Despite big commitments, many Tamil Nadu GAs are showing negligible progress on PNG and pipeline targets even after years of authorization. 8Kolkata expands, but Bengal’s rural CGD zones barely register progress The state capital leads by example, but adjoining districts in West Bengal continue to underperform, failing to convert ambitious targets into real-world gains. 8Gujarat’s legacy networks continue to outperform the rest of India Older GAs in Gujarat show strong pipeline growth and PNG overachievement, indicating that early movers remain more efficient than newer entrants. 8Punjab’s new CGD regions show weak start and low momentum Recent licensees in Punjab struggle to scale PNG connections, with many zones failing to achieve even initial rollout benchmarks. 8Eastern Uttar Pradesh shows mixed signals on gas infrastructure Some districts report modest recovery, but most eastern UP GAs continue to lag behind in pipeline coverage and domestic connection delivery. 8Major licensees fall short in multiple newly awarded districts Large players including public and private entities are under-delivering across new GAs, especially in Odisha, Telangana, and central India. 8Dozens of CGD zones still below the hundred inch-kilometer mark Pipeline rollout remains stalled in many areas, with a significant number of networks yet to achieve basic coverage levels. 8Massive target overachievement in select cities exposes flawed benchmarking A few urban zones are surpassing PNG targets by huge margins, pointing to unrealistic MWP baselines during licensing. 8India’s northeast gas expansion remains stuck on paper New licenses across Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, and Tripura show no physical progress months after award, casting doubt on operational feasibility. 8Most CGD networks have yet to cross the halfway mark Despite multiyear rollout periods, more than half the GAs are still far from reaching even half of their MWP commitments. 8India’s newer CGD rounds are dragging national progress down While early licensed GAs have matured, the most recent rounds continue to show weak execution, exposing a widening performance gap.

Six-way showdown for Petronet pipe supply: Big names enter Dahej 3LPE bid race 8EIL’s tightly-framed Dahej tender for 3LPE coated pipes sees six major players qualify for technical scrutiny, setting the stage for a price-war in the polypropylene push. Single-vendor heat: Kobe Steel lone contender for PLL’s Dahej compressor bid amid strict OEM-packager carve-outs 8Despite EIL’s stringent eligibility criteria requiring OEM-backed references and multiple risk buffers, only Kobe Steel has bid for the rotary screw compressor package in PLL’s PDH-PP project. The bid structure's rigidity, especially around PTR proof, OEM-packager alignment, and double PBG layers, may have stifled broader participation. Paramount wins NRL cable contract with tight margin over LKB: Price war narrows to 3.5% gap 8Paramount Communications clinched the Rs 11.46 Cr supply order for instrumentation cables at NRL’s GDS–PRU–LPGTU units, edging LKB Engineering by a slim 3.57% margin. Price divergence among bidders hints at cost model variances and technical interpretation gaps. Techcult bags IOCL Digboi consultancy at 28% below estimate amid tight race and multiple disqualifications 8A steep undercut by Techcult Engineering secured IOCL’s Digboi consultancy job at Rs. 22 lakh—nearly 30% below estimate. With three bidders disqualified and prices ranging wildly, the award signals rising pricing pressure and qualification hurdles. IOCL awards Gujarat Refinery QRA study at 16% below estimate after disqualifying 8 bidders 8In a tightly contested bid for critical risk analysis of Gujarat Refinery, Techniche Engineering secured the contract at Rs.18.47 lakh—undercutting IOCL’s Rs.22 lakh estimate by over 16%. With 8 bidders disqualified, the result signals IOCL’s hardline on technical qualification and low-margin contracting environment. Tight finish in IOCL’s PMC tender as L1–L3 bids land within 0.3% spread 8IOCL’s Rs 124 Cr PMC tender for Maharashtra sites saw L1–L3 bids clustered within a 0.3% range, suggesting mature pricing and limited room for undercutting. Six firms were disqualified, underlining the role of compliance documentation and technical rigor. Click on Details for moreDetails
HPCL’s DFR Bid for Net Zero Push Sees Fresh Extension Amid Complex Scope and No EMD Norms 8With two bid extensions and a deep feasibility remit covering solar, wind, storage, and net-zero compliance, HPCL’s R&D campus project reflects shifting expectations and growing bidder caution—especially in a no-EMD environment. HPCL’s Ludhiana CBG push hits qualification bottleneck: Only 1 of 3 bidders clears PMC technical bar 8HPCL Renewable & Green Energy’s 250–300 TPD cow dung-based CBG project at Ludhiana sees only one qualified PMC bidder, despite industry pushback on stringent eligibility terms. High complexity, unchanged bid conditions, and milestone-linked payouts tighten the compliance net, raising entry barriers in an evolving biogas market. HPCL tightens screws on CBG PMC bid: Timeline slashed, cashflows squeezed, half of bidders disqualified 8In a high-stakes tender for a paddy straw-based CBG plant at Eluru, HPCL Renewable & Green Energy Ltd has halved contractor payment milestones and reduced execution timelines, forcing consultancies to deliver more with less. Technical gatekeeping disqualified half the field. Click on Details for moreDetails

PNGRB floats tight-control ATF pipeline bid for KIAL: Rs. 30L entry, strict route & zero-deviation clauses 8PNGRB has launched bidding for a 40-km ATF pipeline to Kempegowda Airport with steep Rs. 30 lakh entry fee and tight regulatory compliance. Entities must self-negotiate access with KIAL and adhere to a rigid, no-exception bidding framework—favoring large incumbents. NRL restricts ESG consultancy race to Big 7 firms: QCBS model trims MSME entry, cashflow strain possible 8Numaligarh Refinery’s Rs.Cr+ ESG consultancy bid mandates a high-bar QCBS filter, favouring global majors like McKinsey, BCG, and EY. MSMEs and startups are locked out despite rising ESG advisory talent in India, raising questions on procurement equity and deliverable flexibility. Fifth extension signals vendor caution in BPCL’s polyolefin package at Bina 8A technically dense and IP-restricted EPCC tender for BPCL’s polypropylene and Butene-1 units has seen five deadline extensions, the latest pushing closure to July 22. The repeated slippages hint at bidder apprehensions on IP clauses, liability risks, and scope complexity. PLL tightens contractor controls in Dahej steam package: Price schedule overhauled, PBG scaled to cost hikes 8Petronet LNG’s Dahej steam system tender now demands PBG recalibration for price escalations and introduces a stricter withdrawal regime with blacklisting risk. EIL’s rolling BG mechanism and shift from “Provisional Acceptance” to “Commissioning” mark a decisive move to defer liability and tighten financial safeguards. SAF catalyst EOI gets second extension, IOCL eyes hybrid revamp–grassroot strategy for HEFA rollout 8IOCL’s SAF push via HEFA route gets a timeline boost with bid submission now extended to 25 July 2025. The dual-track strategy—revamp of hydrotreaters and greenfield build—marks India’s most structured attempt yet at scaling aviation biofuel infrastructure under CORSIA norms. PLL’s water block EPC tender tightens specs, resists bidder concessions amid July deadline push 8Despite a host of requests for relaxations in bank guarantees, penalty caps, and payment terms, EIL has held firm on commercial terms for PLL’s complex RWTP–RODMP–CPU–ETP package. A sharp revision in technical specs and drawings under TA-01 may reset cost assumptions just weeks ahead of the final bid deadline. EIL sharpens compliance specs in CDU–VDU heater bid: Anti-vibration norms, stacking revisions signal higher contractor burden 8EIL’s latest technical amendments to BPCL’s CDU–VDU heater package tighten inspection, vibration control, and modular erection norms—putting more design, risk, and shop-fabrication responsibility on contractors. The changes mark a clear shift toward pre-verified assemblies and stricter structural accountability. MRPL extends VOC system tender 4th time: Critical specs relaxed, steam tracing dropped, and scope clarified 8After four deadline extensions, MRPL has clarified key engineering ambiguities in its VOC collection and treatment tender. Major deviations include the removal of VFD requirements, relaxed tracing needs, and drainage scope fixes—reducing cost but raising design diligence expectations for vendors. EIL pushes HPRT generator bid deadline thrice: Stringent specs limit eligible OEMs for Bina Petchem expansion 8The tender for BPCL’s HPRT-Electric Generator Package under BPREP has seen three extensions, hinting at bidder hesitation amid stiff qualification norms, deep vertical integration demands, and tight reference compliance. Risk exposure, supply chain expectations, and rigid structuring remain key hurdles. High-bar entry: EIL pushes CCR bid deadline again as UOP NDA delays stagger scope access 8The bid deadline for Petronet’s Dahej CCR unit has been pushed to July 29, reflecting delays in executing UOP’s mandatory NDA. With technical documents gated behind offline confidentiality protocols, vendors face prep bottlenecks in this high-stakes licensed package. Click on Details for moreDetails
ONGC puts LTSOBM bidders under twin stress: Rajahmundry fluid services scope ups compliance heat and inventory risk 8In a tightly scoped 3-year fluid engineering contract for 18 high-pressure wells, ONGC has frontloaded chemical QA, legacy fluid reuse, and stringent minimum inventory mandates on bidders. 8With site operations spread across 3 rigs and chemical compliance monitored down to bulk testing and packaging, contractors face cost exposure well beyond routine norms. 8Clause-linked penalties and sampling audits mark a sharp pivot in risk allocation. Axle overhaul tender shifts pressure to bidders: ONGC’s Vadodara contract frontloads supply chain and delivery risks 8In a new 3-year rate contract for critical rig component overhaul at CWS Vadodara, ONGC has stripped down flexibility on spares sourcing, enforced tight bid norms, and provided no cost buffer for part substitutions. 8With OEM dependencies unaddressed and penalty frameworks looming post-award, the tender raises both operational uncertainty and bidder hesitancy. OIL floats high-stakes rig charter for Rajasthan heavy oil: Rs 8 Cr bid bond, full-service IDS scope tightens competition 8OIL India is inviting global bids for two Integrated Drilling Services packages in Rajasthan’s Baghewala area, covering 20 wells or 2 years. 8With an INR 8 Cr bid security and tight mobilization clauses, the tender leans heavily in favor of OIL’s risk mitigation, even as performance timelines and compliance obligations raise contractor entry hurdles. OIL eyes multistage fracking revival in Assam’s Balimara cluster: Five horizontal wells on horizon 8Oil India has floated an EOI to scout experienced vendors for multistage fracking in five horizontal wells in Assam’s Barail formation. 8The move signals a fresh production push in tight reservoirs, with early vendor feedback shaping the scope for a likely open tender. The pilot nature and zone depth (~3900m TVDSS) imply both opportunity and execution risk for service providers. Bidder tripwire in SPF tender: OIL’s price sheet fix raises rejection risk amid vague clause cover 8OIL India’s SPF tender rewrites its price bid format mid-way, threatening disqualification for format error—even as qualification, MSE relief, and contract-splitting rules remain opaque. 8The lack of direct bidder engagement signals a contract tilted firmly in the client’s favor.
