This PNGRB is an entity that we like, it is always up to something or other. Well meaning? Yes the intent is right but they do not get it right most of the time. The depth is shallow, but they will learn it the hard way. like us doing this job for four decades, we learnt it the hard way how it all functions, eventually. Here are a set of new things they are trying and this is what we have to say:
8PNGRB’s “unified tariff” push risks igniting new regional fault lines in gas pricing
 As the Board pushes for "One Nation, One Tariff", producers near gas sources may lose competitive advantage, triggering regional tensions.
8Gas exchange dreams or market makeover mirage? PNGRB’s global ambitions under scrutiny
 Aiming to build a global-standard gas exchange, PNGRB faces serious liquidity and participation gaps at home.
8India’s gas regulator wants hydrogen pipelines before the molecule itself
 With no commercial hydrogen flows yet, PNGRB is drafting pipeline standards and blending norms—risking overreach.
8From tariffs to transmission: PNGRB readies blueprint for unbundling the gas monopoly
 Plans for an independent transmission operator mark the correct shift—but legacy players may resist hard.
8CBG rollout meets pipe reality: PNGRB sets 130-plant hook-up target—but who’ll pay?
 The regulator wants full CGD connectivity for CBG plants, but funding and pipeline ownership remain in limbo.
8Pipeline push to defence and NEZs: Will fast-tracked gas access outrun demand?
 PNGRB eyes PSUs, refineries, and industrial clusters for rapid pipeline expansion—but demand-side viability is unclear.
8India’s gas regulator wants to rate its own: sector awards to be handed out by PNGRB itself
 A self-declared 'excellence program' raises eyebrows—can a regulator credibly award the entities it polices?
8Penalty provisions get teeth: PNGRB plans tougher safety rules in line with global norms
 New T4S and ERDMP reforms may finally bring meaningful deterrents, targeting long-ignored compliance gaps.
8India’s LNG strategy goes micro: PNGRB bats for SSLNG, flex stations and island coverage
 Plans for decentralised LNG distribution could disrupt the gas logistics map—but real execution may prove tougher.
8Legal division on overdrive: PNGRB to draft consumer and data protection norms for gas sector
 New regulations aim to standardize data collection and empower gas consumers—adding regulatory complexity to operators.
8Co-retailing plan to blur lines between gas and oil retail?
 By pushing to allow diesel and petrol sales at CNG stations, PNGRB may trigger fresh turf battles in retail.
8POL logistics gets a national plan—but will anyone stick to it?
 The proposed national distribution logistics roadmap for petroleum products lacks clarity on enforcement and inter-agency buy-in.
8Smart meters, smart stoves, and smart delays? PNGRB’s tech push faces execution hurdles
 From digital meters to PNG stoves, the Board’s tech-forward vision may get stuck in state-level inertia and vendor issues.

Kakinada granulation push gears up: Coromandel bets Rs.500 Cr on NPK-led northward expansion
8Coromandel’s brownfield expansion at Kakinada enters execution phase with a Rs.500 Cr investment to commission a 7.5 lakh TPA NPK line by early 2027. Backed by state incentives and aligned with captive acid capacity, the project is set to make Kakinada India’s largest integrated phosphatic fertiliser complex, reducing DAP import dependence and targeting growth in underpenetrated northern markets.

Bid deadline extended for ONGC Hazira TPIA tender amid tight compliance load
8ONGC has pushed the submission deadline for its Hazira TPIA tender by 14 days, now closing on 10 July 2025.
8The extension is seen as a response to bidder readiness gaps amid a wide-ranging job package. However, lack of clarification window or revised timelines may still restrict quality participation.
OIL’s 2000 HP rig tender clocks 9th extension: Lack of bidder traction or prep-time crunch?
8OIL’s high-stakes 6-year charter rig hire tender has now seen 9 extensions, pushing bid deadlines from February to mid-July.
8With no changes to technical or commercial clauses, the delays suggest either tepid bidder response or serious prep bottlenecks on the contractor side.
8Is this now the new normal for large-scale rig tenders with longer duration tenure?
Tender extended amid compliance tightening: ONGC pushes vessel bid deadline to 10 July
8ONGC has extended the submission deadline for its 13-vessel charter tender to 10 July 2025, giving bidders time to adapt to a stricter “firm availability” mandate.
8The extension follows Corrigendum No. 2, which removed all scope for provisional or subject-to-availability vessels.
ONGC extends Assam HAZOP–QRA bid to 14 July: Delay signals response bottleneck
8In a second extension within days, ONGC has moved the deadline for its Assam Asset HAZOP and QRA study tender to 14 July 2025.
8The move suggests bidders struggled to compile extensive compliance data under compressed timelines.
8With risk mapping involving 28 installations, procedural and software-readiness hurdles may be behind the deferment.

Deadline pushed again for Bina HPRT bid: Complex vendor eligibility may be the bottleneck
8Successive extensions to the tender deadline for BPCL’s BPREP HPRT-EG package hint at challenges around technical qualification, group company documentation, and NDA-based access to bid specs.
Petronet LNG’s 3LPE pipe tender sees tight specs, bidder pushback on grouping and testing norms

8Pre-bid clarifications reveal bidder discomfort with bundled evaluation and confirm hydrotest mandates, but several edge-case queries—especially on ovality, bevel angle, and TPIA responsibility—remain unresolved, increasing bidder cost risk.
Bidder risks rise as PLL shifts interface, statutory, and coordination burdens in GIS substation tender
8A close review of the PDH-PP substation tender reveals extensive cost and risk-shifting onto EPC bidders — from statutory clearances to inter-contractor trenching coordination — with minimal flexibility on qualifications and no price escalation provisions.
EIL clarifies exclusions in transformer scope, shifts RTCC cable burden to bidders
8In a move with cost and execution implications, EIL has excluded NIFPS scope from bidder responsibility while requiring bidders to lay and terminate RTCC cables—an unusual dual shift that could create scope ambiguity and cashflow strains.
GAIL eases qualification norms for floating solar project consultants amid low market depth
8GAIL has expanded its technical qualification matrix in Corrigendum 2 by adding a third-tier option—three studies at Rs 10.38 lakh each—for bidders with smaller project experience. The move suggests possible pre-bid bidder constraints and aims to boost participation for its 2-year retainer-based floating solar consultancy.

Cairn seeks fresh global playbook for procurement: Rajasthan operations eye overhaul in 8 weeks, but legacy, PSC, and tech sync gaps remain
8Vedanta’s Cairn Oil & Gas has issued a global EOI seeking expert consultancy to revamp its procurement manual for the RJ-ON-90/1 Barmer block under PSC and JOA constraints.
8The compressed 8-week delivery window raises flags over depth and rollout feasibility, especially since the current system was last revised just two years ago.
8Technology sync, cross-JV alignment, and PSC compliance will be key pressure points — but none are addressed up front.
SEAMEC wins offshore deck revamp job: Key clauses point to tight execution risks
8L1 contractor SEAMEC has bagged the NLM-9 spider deck retrofit job at Rs 39.2 crore, beating L2 AD Engineers by a sharp Rs 3.8 crore margin.
8But with ONGC’s 90-day fair-weather deadline and a 45-day front-loaded mobilization window, the contract clauses impose a highly compressed execution schedule with minimal buffer — making delays likely and risk-laden for the contractor.
NDT Labs wins offshore testing tender with deep discount: Raises sustainability questions
8NDT Laboratories Pvt Ltd secured a 3-year NDT contract from ONGC at Rs.1.19 crore, underbidding L2 Tubestar by nearly 61%. The scope includes continuous tubular inspection for offshore rigs — but the unusually low bid raises questions about service sustainability, equipment reliability, and manpower quality over the long haul.
Fugro’s offshore credentials face high bar: OIL demands ultra-deep precision for geohazard mapping
8Fugro Survey (India) Pvt Ltd is up against OIL’s ultra-deep drilling expectations, with bathymetry and AUV-based hazard surveys mandated in waters exceeding 2800?m.
8The scope pressures vendors on data fidelity, seismic layering detail, and AUV payload integration across blocks in Mahanadi and Andaman.
Truck-mounted HOCU clause tightened after safety concerns flagged
8ONGC revises technical specs for Hot Oil Circulation Units, mandating truck-mounted configurations from established manufacturers with minimum performance thresholds.

Here are what the changes are
 
8India charts new waters: DGS floats first-ever biofuel bunkering guidelines
 Seeks to close critical regulatory gaps in safety, quality, and environmental safeguards for marine biofuels.
 
8B30 and beyond: Government pushes for drop-in biofuels in Indian ports
 New framework permits FAME, HVO, and Bio-FT-diesel for bunkering—under tight operational and audit controls.
 
8From tank truck to ship: Biofuel transfers get a regulatory overhaul
 India adopts global best practices across all bunkering modes, with traceability, risk audits, and safety SOPs mandatory.
 
8No certificate, no bunkering: DGS mandates multi-layered compliance for suppliers
 Mandatory ISO 9001 QMS, sustainability tags, and NABL-certified test reports now prerequisites for licensing.
 
8Marine biofuel bunkering gets teeth with India’s first dedicated enforcement protocol
 Non-compliance could invite asset detention, license revocation, and surprise inspections.
 
8Global playbook meets Indian ports: 25+ international standards now binding on bunkering ops
 New circular hardwires MARPOL, ISO 8217:2024, PESO, and BIS norms into Indian maritime fuel governance.
 
8Simultaneous ops curtailed: India prioritises biofuel bunkering safety over terminal efficiency
 Crew changes, cargo ops, or waste offloads restricted during bunkering; ESD drills and PIC protocols now mandatory.
 
8Fuel quality and traceability take centre stage in India’s maritime decarbonisation drive
 Suppliers must deliver blend-ratio-specific SDS, flash point data, and COQ from NABL-accredited labs.
 
8India's biofuel push reaches maritime sector—but execution will be key
 While the draft sets a high regulatory bar, implementation capacity and industry readiness remain unclear.
 
8Biofuel bunkering becomes audit-heavy: IRS, PESO, PNGRB roles deepen
 India mandates annual surveillance, live ops demonstration, and pre-clearance for every bunkering event.

New LPG pipeline bid: High entry barrier
8PNGRB’s suo-motu call for the Paradip–Raipur LPG corridor demands 0.60?MMTPA from year one, Rs?333?cr net worth, and Rs?8?cr bid bond, signalling a high-entry barrier for mid-size players
PNGRB floats big LPG pipeline tender: Mumbai–Jalgaon–Aurangabad route opens up hinterland access
8A 521?km LPG pipeline is up for bid with high entry thresholds: Rs?312.6?Cr net worth, Rs?8?Cr bid bond, and zero deviation clause tighten the field for qualified players. The project aims to decongest Mumbai’s LPG logistics and integrate Wada & Vadhvan in future builds.
Pipeline reshaped: Ennore–Puducherry LPG corridor to skip IOCL facilities, connect BPCL bottling plant
8In a rare realignment, PNGRB’s tender for the Ennore–Puducherry LPG pipeline bypasses IOCL’s Ennore and Manali installations while connecting BPCL’s Chennai bottling plant — altering volumetric assumptions and routing logic.
PNGRB puts 32?km Ennore–Gummidipoondi LPG line on block: High entry barriers for a short-haul link
8In a suo motu push to ease LPG logistics, PNGRB has invited bids for a 32?km Ennore–Gummidipoondi pipeline, but a steep Rs 30 lakh entry fee, Rs 2 crore bond, and year-one capacity targets may deter all but the deepest-pocketed bidders.
PNGRB floats Rs.8 Cr bid for new LPG trunkline: CPCL–Madurai pipeline opens to competition
8With a high entry barrier and zero-deviation clause, PNGRB invites bids for a 431?km LPG line connecting CPCL’s Cauvery Basin Refinery to bottling plants in southern Tamil Nadu—marking a rare instance of regulatory-driven infrastructure planning based on stakeholder feedback.
PNGRB's Cherlapally–Nagpur LPG line: Rs 30 crore entry fee raises threshold bar
8The regulator’s suo motu bid for the 453?km LPG pipeline sets an unusually high Rs 30 crore application fee and Rs 8 crore bid bond, effectively limiting participation to cash-rich players and signaling a shift toward tighter financial gatekeeping in pipeline authorizations.
PNGRB opens bidding for LPG pipeline: Zero-deviation norms, entry fee raise industry eyebrows
8A 508?km LPG pipeline from Shikrapur to Goa & Hubli is now up for grabs—but with an unusually steep application fee and a strict no-deviation policy, PNGRB may be narrowing the field more than intended.
High financial barrier, zero deviation stance: PNGRB sets tough terms for Gwalior–Sitarganj LPG pipeline
8With Rs 40 lakh non-refundable fee, Rs 8 crore bid bond, and a 0.60?MMTPA year-one capacity demand, PNGRB’s latest pipeline tender filters out smaller players, pushing for early commissioning and financial muscle.
Goindwal spur axed: PNGRB streamlines Jalandhar–Jammu LPG pipeline plan
8In a rare reversal post-public consultation, PNGRB has dropped the Goindwal Sahab spur from the proposed LPG pipeline corridor, citing pre-existing connectivity with IOCL’s captive system — saving CAPEX but raising questions on redundancy planning.

Penalty-heavy FMS tender at ONGC Noida raises risk profile for contractors
8ONGC’s latest three-year Facility Management tender for its Noida housing complex sharply tilts risk onto contractors, with a dense matrix of 28 penalty clauses, fixed manpower commitments, and stringent compliance on minor defaults.
8Though based on standard DSR rates, the contract structurally limits upside for vendors while leaving scope for severe financial setbacks.
Oil India drills deep into vendor risk: High-capex directional drilling tender lacks rate protection or mobilization offsets
8Oil India’s custom bid for three full directional drilling service sets sets a high bar for technical readiness and execution, with minimal financial protections for contractors.
8With stringent mobilization demands, no clear day-rate compensation, and full-risk service delivery, the tender could pose margin compression and capex exposure for bidders amid volatile rig and tool costs.
OIL’s 4-year Cummins engine service tender outsources reliability, but skips warranty clarity and spare ownership
8Oil India has floated a long-tenure custom bid for servicing Cummins gas engines and radiator repairs at Duliajan, Assam, handing over critical O&M responsibility to external vendors.
8Yet the bid sidesteps warranty clause ownership, has no mention of spare inventory buffer obligations, and remains silent on downtime penalties—despite the high uptime sensitivity of gas compression assets.
ONGC explores diverless tech for urgent subsea repairs: CMFE and PCRT EOIs signal readiness for automation, but roadmap still fuzzy
8ONGC has floated an EOI to identify vendors capable of supplying or deploying CMFE and PCRT tools for leak repair in hostile offshore zones like Tapti.
8The call for inputs before tendering reflects ONGC’s shift toward remote, diverless interventions, yet key commercial, mobilization, and HSE accountability terms remain undefined — leaving room for ambiguity ahead of the main bid.
ONGC launches EOI for ultra-high-pressure marine hoses: Global specs, local silence on standardization and shelf-life clauses
8ONGC has issued an EOI seeking global interest for the design and supply of high-pressure marine hoses for offshore loading operations, hinting at a long-term revamp of its floating hose procurement strategy.
8But the EOI sidesteps norms around hose shelf-life, warranty claims, and standardization with existing buoy configurations—raising execution, compatibility, and spares risks for bidders.

BPCL clamps tight controls on polypropylene ejector tender: EMD waived, NDA mandatory, zero deviation enforced
8A rare no-EMD clause is countered by BPCL’s NDA-gated access and zero-deviation enforcement, signaling tighter risk control around Kochi refinery’s PFCC revamp.
Hazira instrumentation job draws tight scrutiny: EIL flags composite work qualifiers and working capital thresholds
8Pre-bid terms for ONGC’s revamp project at Hazira reveal tighter BQC filters around subcontractor credentials, EPC carve-outs, and SEZ billing norms—raising the bar for financial fitness and interface control.
UCO-based biodiesel makers locked out as OMCs fix rigid empanelment norms till FY26

8In a significant shift, PSU OMCs have barred UCO-derived biodiesel and introduced fixed Lat-Long declarations for vendor plants, potentially altering India's decentralized biofuel supply model.
