In just last few weeks, an amazing cocktail of auction prices were noticed, each different from the other
8The same company has different pricing systems, and it runs both LNG-linked and Brent-linked systems across different blocks
8All this also signals a fragmented market where each asset carries a different risk curve.
8For buyers, the real challenge is no longer securing volumes, it is choosing which volatility they are prepared to absorb.

NRL trims civil scope but expands lighting, weighbridge and vendor mandates in LPG terminal BOP
8NRL’s Dabidubi LPG terminal tender has been reshaped by an addendum. Civil RCC scope was narrowed, but street lighting, weighbridges and vendor lock-ins have expanded. The balance of risk and cost has shifted in ways that bidders cannot ignore.
BPCL Kochi polypropylene internals tender locks vendors into 70% sitework pricing floor
8EIL has re-engineered the payment and guarantee regime for BPCL Kochi’s polypropylene project. Vendors face mandatory 70% sitework pricing and extended ABGs, but indigenous suppliers are spared a PRS bank guarantee. The framework signals a harder line on execution risk and cost policing.
PLL/EIL impose all-inclusive lift costs in Dahej PDH–PP material handling tender
8Petronet LNG’s PDH–PP handling tender forces contractors to absorb heavy-lift costs within per-MT rates. Bidders’ pleas for separate billing were flatly rejected. The only concession — allowing Hydra instead of revolving cranes — reveals where PLL will bend and where it won’t.
8PLL Dahej pump tender enforces strict MAWP compliance, waives EMD but hardens zero-deviation regime
8Petronet LNG’s Dahej PDH-PP pump package under EIL consultancy has surfaced as a high-barrier tender. Bidders sought relaxations on casing pressure and seals but were rebuffed. With no EMD but heavy CPBG and zero-deviation rules, risk transfer remains firmly skewed.
BPCL extends bid due date for coalescer revamp at Kochi polypropylene project by seven days
8BPCL has pushed back the coalescer revamp bid deadline under its Kochi polypropylene expansion by a week. The limited, NDA-bound tender shows a mix of strict compliance and bidder relief through waiver of EMD. Behind the date shift lies a story of portal bottlenecks and vendor participation risks.
HPCL extends hydrogen station consultancy bid at Bayavaram with strict consultant firewall and startup exclusion
8HPCL has pushed its Bayavaram hydrogen refueling station consultancy bid to 1 September, tightening conditions for consultants.

Retendered API-610 pump package resets man-days and multi-group award math for BPCL’s BPREP
8BPCL has pushed out a refreshed RFQ. A for horizontal centrifugal API-610 pumps at Bina. EIL has locked commissioning man-days and tightened commercial inclusions, while warning that L1 can reshuffle on a least-cost combination. The files imply a retender clean-up, but the explicit cancellation memo is not in the packet.
Sixteen bidders chase BPCL’s clad column package for Bina refinery-petchem expansion
8BPCL’s Bina expansion tender for LAS/SS clad columns drew 16 bidders under EIL management. A zero-deviation regime, heavy ABG-linked payments, and a Rs 15 lakh EMD underscore tightened procurement norms. The high metallurgy entry bar ensures only fabricators with prior clad vessel track record remain in play.
ITT undercuts peers by 18% in BPCL Bina pump tender managed by EIL
8BPCL’s Bina Petchem pump package saw ITT India quoting Rs 5.65 crore against Flowserve and Kirloskar’s ~Rs 6.7–6.8 crore. Multiple extensions hinted at bidder hesitation over PQCs and scope splits. EIL’s strict document verification policy signals a tightening risk posture.
Vijay Tanks wins BPCL Bina sphere package as EIL enforces strict PQCs and shifts CPBG, GST risk
8BPCL’s Bina sphere package drew only three proven storage contractors under EIL’s watch. Vijay Tanks slashed bids nearly 20% below peers, exposing margin risks. With GST ITC deleted and CPBG timelines tightened, the contract structure signals tougher PSU cost-policing.

KSB undercuts rivals in centrifugal pumps award for MRPL bio-ATF plant handled by EIL
8MRPL’s bio-ATF centrifugal pump package saw KSB slash prices by nearly 40% versus the next bidder. EIL’s unusual mix of zero EMD but tough cartel rules reshaped the competitive field. Split outcomes across BoQ1 and BoQ2 hint at diverging bidder risk appetites.
John Zink wins proprietary burner supply order at IOCL Bongaigaon
8IOCL Bongaigaon has awarded a single-bid RLNG reformer burner package to John Zink at Rs 17.63 lakh. The proprietary tender eliminated PQC and EMD requirements, effectively ensuring a direct award.

BPCL Ramayapatnam refinery geotech tender bars subcontractor credentials, waives EMD

8What the owner is doing is front-loaded technology diligence and qualification hygiene, aimed at compressing downstream clarification loops. It also suggests that the client wants to capture operational reliability signals (PGTR, annual hours) early rather than discover gaps post-award, when changes are costlier. This high-visibility phenol unit is nested inside a greenfield refinery-petchem complex, where integration penalties from start-up underperformance are material.

Ongc’s DDW1–PLQP maintenance IRC hardens single-point delivery, extends mobilization, and adds material milestones
8ONGC has accepted 60-day mobilization and a 60% material milestone while banning sub-contracting outright.

OIL narrows slickline scope and takes over downhole tools while tightening liquidity levers

OIL’s Modular Desalination Plant (3,000 KLPD) tightens pre-bid schedule and fixes QA/QC agency
8Three swift corrigenda collapsed a two-day pre-bid into a single, fixed slot and named the inspection agency outright.

8Whether this housekeeping trims bidder risk-loading and broadens participation is now the bid’s central tension.
Date push on live SBHT/UT pipeline exposure-cover tender nudges competition window
8ONGC has moved the bid closing to 04 September 2025 on its live pipeline exposure-cover package.

PIL’s seven-day push on CP monitoring/maintenance tender resets competition window
8OIL has moved the closing to 02 September 2025 on its two-year CP monitoring and maintenance package.

8ONGC has opened a limited two-bid pull for multi-region logging/PERF, but with a stricter governance spine.
8The cash-entry is softer, yet insolvency and FATF tripwires are firmer.
8The real story is how mandatory participation and no-subcontracting will reshape who bids, how they price, and what they commit.

Mayu wins ONGC Ankleshwar wireline/compressor O&M support
8ONGC has closed a three-year WCT assistance contract at Ankleshwar with Mayu Instrumentation.
8The narrow 3.6–5.0% band to L2/L3 suggests cost policing under floor-price guardrails.
8The real test lies in long-tenor security, protected-worker onboarding, and overtime caps built into the scope.
ONGC’s MNW cooler tender doubles scope and holds nine-month deadline, bidders face full-value LD exposure
8ONGC has clarified that both E-3030 and E-3050 bundles fall within the MNW platform cooler replacement tender.
8Despite bidder concerns on weight, crane limits, and ASME timelines, ONGC refused to relax the nine-month completion.
8With LD tied to total contract price, execution risk has firmly shifted to contractors.
ONGC’s onshore rig empanelment: The company offers some changes
8ONGC used the pre-bid to ease form-fit issues while refusing to dilute performance and HSE backstops.
8Drawworks groove sizing is now OEM-aligned and premium DS-1 tubulars are acceptable, yet 5-inch drill-pipe depth and compressor headroom stay put.
8The calendar slips to 09 September 2025, but the bar doesn’t.
Corrigendum tightens pipeline-TPI gate and fixes ATC anomaly in ONGC’s Assam asset
8ONGC has corrected a basic ATC error even as it tightens the TPI gate for its Laiplingaon pipeline.
8The revised BEC leans on ISO/IEC 17020 and a hard similarity floor to screen serious inspectors. The closing date has moved, and the competitive field may shift with it.

BPCL extends ODC and OWC survey tender for Ramayapatnam refinery by one week
8BPCL and EIL have pushed the survey deadline for the Ramayapatnam refinery project to 01 September. The move comes after the original 25 august cutoff. The extension hints at bidder constraints in a tightly restricted tender pool.
Five specialist survey houses bid for BPCL Ramayapatnam refinery topography package under no-EMD model
8BPCL’s Rs 1 lakh crore Ramayapatnam refinery has entered the survey phase. Five niche vendors are in the fray, with EIL tweaking cashflow clauses mid-tender. The scope blends aerial photogrammetry with heritage and wildlife compliance, signalling how environmental obligations are being hard-wired into early packages.

Pre-tender meet sets the stage for interface-heavy E&I works in MRPL at inlet receiving tanks and offsite pipelines
8EIL has called a one-hour online huddle to probe bidder capability and freeze tentative PQCs. The scope leans hard on switchgear extensions, hazardous-area lighting, and EST4 tie-ins with a six-month post-LOA clock. Securities, LD, and evaluation rules are missing—so the real risk pricing starts after this meet.
Hydrogen-rich API 617 compressors put efficiency penalties under bid for BPCL Bina Petchem and Refinery Expansion Project
8The compressor package forces energy performance into price via guaranteed power consumption loading. PTR demands for hydrogen-rich service and 80% similarity will likely shrink the eligible field. Reverse auction is off the table, and a turnover-based tie-break favours scale.
Extruder & pelletizer RFQ sets 20-month FOB supply and NDA gating for NRL PPU
8NRL’s PPU extruder & pelletizer package has deviation discipline hard-wired up front. The cover mandates an NDA before full document access and fixes a 20-month FOB delivery. What’s missing on the face of the RFQ—specs, evaluation math, and RA/PPP-MII parameters—sits behind the gate.
GSPL hard-codes design-to-permit discipline and digital integrations for small pipeline connects
8The new PMC rate-contract turns “small connects” into clocked mini-projects with strict online staging and regulator-grade engineering packs. Milestone billing rides on document maturity—DCI to Code-A to IFC—while 24-month claims support sits behind the handover. A novation clause hints at internal restructuring, altering counterparty risk without changing the scope.
Gail Vaghodia HAZOP & QRA tender tightens compliance with licensed software proof and 5% EPBG, while waiving EMD
8GAIL’s Vaghodia safety study comes with zero EMD but a 5% ePBG and a hard insistence on licensed modelling tools. The package is non-splittable, startups and PPP-MII preferences are off, and AHR is on. The mix points to fewer but deeper bids, with model provenance under the microscope.
Mahul–Rasayani pipeline E&I tender extended amid scope clarifications and technical amendment
8The date extensions benefit contractors by giving more time to clarify BOQ ambiguities and align supply-only vs SITC responsibilities. Technical amendment with updated datasheets clarifies OEM scope and narrows supplier pool. EIL/BPCL benefits by tightening conformance on flame arrestors, ensuring uniform safety compliance. Contractors absorb added design responsibilities (11 kV OHL) and site utilities, increasing their execution risk.
Fourth bid extension signals bidder constraints in BPCL Bina Petchem compressor tender
8BPCL’s Bina refinery expansion compressor package scope is tightly defined under API 672, with onerous PTR and subsidiary guarantee requirements. Behind the dates lies a story of restricted bidder pool and schedule risks.

8The heat exchanger package under BPCL’s Bina expansion has slipped thrice, despite a zero-deviation limited bid format. Vendors appear reluctant to commit within the original windows. What this signals for sequencing and cashflow risk remains to be seen.
8The anomaly lies in bidder hesitancy despite a captive vendor pool. Commercially, the raw-material-linked staged payments load cashflow risk onto vendors early, amplifying resistance. Legally, EIL’s insistence on zero-deviation plus NDA submission upfront keeps governance tight but elongates cycle time. Forward look: if BPCL enforces delivery without shifting timelines, the bottleneck risk rises; alternatively, if another extension comes, it signals systemic procurement fatigue across BPREP packages.

8This appears to be part of a broader tightening trend by EIL/GAIL in high-risk rotating equipment packages. Splitting tender IDs for price vs performance parameters indicates an intent to quarantine guarantee enforcement and minimise post-award renegotiation. Similar approaches have emerged in refinery utility packages but are still relatively uncommon in pipeline-linked facilities.
8If successful, this dual-tender structure may set precedent for other hydrocarbon PSUs, especially where power recovery/energy efficiency systems are involved. However, the rigidity may backfire if it thins bidder participation, forcing GAIL to consider re-tenders or diluted competition.

8IOCL is adopting: retaining old assets but imposing new-build guarantees on vendors. This forces bidders into a liability trap, hence the pushback and repeated extensions.
8The retention of an old vessel shell for a revamp, with all new internals, makes scope riskier than a greenfield supply. This may have amplified bidder hesitation,
8Technip’s role as PMC further raises documentation and compliance load (GAIA vendor documentation, mandatory proprietary disclosures).

8BPCL has re-issued the core price forms for its BPREP swing-unit EPCC, splitting forex-heavy engineering from INR-only site execution. The move tightens SOP-based evaluation and reduces ambiguity on where loadings bite. The bigger story is how this plays through PGTR risk and payment gates.

8ONGC has awarded its difficult-to-pig 20-inch PLQP–OGT multiphase lin.
8The price spread to L2 is an eye-popping 147.2%, pointing to sharply different risk or method assumptions.
8The payoff sits in how strictly ONGC enforces SP0116 deliverables—and what the post-assessment does to MOAP and inhibitor strategy.
