Four heavy-haul specialists line up as EIL opens technicals for Ramayapatnam ODC/OWC corridor survey in BPCL AP refinery 8A limited-invite, zero-EMD survey package has drawn four corridor engineering houses to BPCL’s AP refinery front-end. With reverse auction off the table and a three-month clock, EIL is betting on speed and clarity over auction theatrics. The real story is how the route bottleneck map will shape EPC logistics and early state works. Click on Details for moreDetails
8BPCL has pushed its HCU revamp EPCM bid deadline out, but not the legal fence lines bidders tried to move. Most asks on EMD, BG formats, and suspension/termination were turned down flat, hinting at a liquidity-testing contract. A small tweak on TA-2 milestone structuring is the only visible give, and it’s designed to keep the long tail funded, not to soften risk. Click on Details for moreDetails
8A two-chain CPU with exacting water-quality guarantees has found its L1 at Bina. EIL’s corrections—from SOP hygiene to GST treatment and steel PV—quietly shaped the risk-pricing. The winning delta hints at where forex, O&M, and PGTR risk truly sat. Click on Details for moreDetails
8A reverse-auction squeeze decided IOCL WRPL’s mainline maintenance ARC for VKPL and MPPL. L2 trailed L1 by just 1.9%, with L3 at a wider 5.5%. The EMD-for-all rule and a 10% security deposit will matter as execution risk migrates to emergency-response readiness. Click on Details for moreDetails

PNGRB’s own analysis shows LNG at Rs 1,571/MMBTU versus diesel at Rs 2,583/MMBTU. 8Yet with only 700 LNG trucks and 20 retail stations nationwide, the economics aren’t translating into reality. Click on Details for more

BPCL’s CAMS pre-bid locks in L1 award, annual CAMC and vendor-built APIs for zero-delay integration 8BPCL has shut the door on QCBS and doubled down on an overall L1 award for its CAMS digitalisation. The client also says API gaps won’t be an excuse—vendors must build integrations and still meet milestones. With annual CAMC payments and all-inclusive pricing, the cashflow and cyber-assurance calculus shifts squarely to the bidders. IOCL Panipat PBR cooling-water package gets a second push to 29–30 Sep without easing PQC or RA terms 8IOCL’s composite cooling-water works at Panipat has moved again, this time to a late-September bid and opening. The scope and terms remain untouched, but the documentation bar stays high. Behind the extension is a strategy to widen clean participation without diluting risk controls. BPCL BPREP DCS bid clock slips by 30 days to 19 September under zero-deviation, NDA-gated regime 8BPCL’s BPREP distributed control system tender has now moved to 19 September after two extensions. Nothing else has changed: zero-deviation, PPP-MII filters, NDA gating and a Rs 2 crore EMD still frame the field. The delay may widen participation, but it also compresses downstream engineering and FAT windows. BPCL extends H2 membrane BDEP and detail engineering tender after two-step date shifts in Kochi refinery 8A hydrogen network job rarely tolerates sloppy BDEP timelines. BPCL has now pushed the bid window to 15 September, while hardening its TPIA gatekeeping and no-deviation stance. The combination changes who bids, how they price, and the risk they will accept. IOCL extends KGPL supervising-agency bid by a week to 12 September, keeps tough 10-inch/50-km filters for the LPG pipeline project 8IOCL has pushed the GeM bid deadline for the KGPL supervising-agency package to 12 September. The extension comes without easing the ≥10-inch, ≥50 km pipeline supervision thresholds or the landed-cost evaluation model. The real play now is whether more qualified PMCs step in with credible deployment rosters. Click on Details for moreDetails
Mobilization eased to 120 days and tool burden pared back as slickline package is tweaked 8OIL has stretched mobilization to 120 days and removed GR/CCL tooling from vendor scope. 8A quiet shift also puts key downhole tools under OIL’s custody while preserving high-spec EMG and safety demands. 8The mix should widen competition without loosening technical control. ONGC pushes directional drilling bid gate to 18 September as rig-dependency clause enters the pack 8Two rapid extensions have moved the directional drilling bid cut-off into mid-September. 8ONGC also hard-codes how dependent mobilisations will be deferred if rigs slip. 8Vendors get time, but the execution clock will still bite after award. ONGC widens bid window to 16 September while tightening extension discipline 8The cut-off moves into mid-September even as ONGC hard-codes how and when extension requests will be entertained. 8Vendors get breathing room to stitch group-wise submissions and EMD/e-BG formalities. 8The trade-off is stricter gate etiquette and zero tolerance for last-minute pleas. ONGC moves Hazira TPIA bid gate into October while codifying extension etiquette 8The bid window is understood to extend to 08 October. 8ONGC, meanwhile, has hard-coded who can grant time and when. 8Vendors get breathing room, but last-minute pleas will not fly.

Rate-contract playbook tightens pricing and QA levers for pipeline works in ONGC Assam Asset 8ONGC’s Assam ARC forces single-factor pricing and third-party-verified credentials while widening the vendor pool. 8The quantum ladder and sliding EMD reshape bidding tactics and cash exposure. 8What remains to be priced in is delay risk under GCC-linked LDs and execution under tight QA. Three-pack rich-gas power push puts commissioning discipline and split-award leverage at the core in SunPetro Bhaskar-I field 8SunPetro wants three 1 MW rich-gas generators on a six-month clock with a hard acceptance ladder. 8Firm prices and GST-at-actuals narrow financial wiggle room, shifting competition to delivery and reliability. 8The open option to split awards may reshape how OEMs price risk. L1 undercuts field by up to 68% as OIL finalises intelligent pigging for DDPL and PS-6–BGR spur 8A five-way contest ended with L-1 pricing nearly half below the next bid. 8OIL’s tighter SCC and verification-linked payments will now test whether low price meets high accuracy in the field. 8The liability cap and no-standby-when-at-fault clauses could shape execution behaviour in the months ahead. Eight vendors clear PQC as ONGC screens scraping-winch capacity for Assam Asset 8A mixed field of private firms and proprietors largely met ONGC’s bar for five-year scraping-winch deployment. 8One disqualification hints that “new unit” and inspection-readiness rules are biting at the gate. 8With split awards in play, execution penalties and HSE controls may matter more than marginal price undercutting. Single qualifier emerges as OIL screens Cummins gas engine service capability 8Only one bidder crossed the PQC line after OIL tightened documentation and OEM-training expectations. 8The scope’s concurrency and logistics burdens now shift execution risk squarely to the vendor that qualifies. 8Whether this narrows price competition or triggers a market reset will hinge on how OIL reads the single-qualifier outcome.

8The bid clock moves as OIL repackages the SoW, SCC, BEC and price formats after an intense pre-bid. 8Vendors get time to re-tool logistics and compliance for offshore execution. 8Whether a further 18 September cut-off formally lands will decide how wide the competition gets.
