1) Hydrotesting of siding pipelines pulled after bid window in HPCL Bareilly New IRD 8HPCL quietly cancelled a low-value, high-impact hydrotest package for its Bareilly New IRD siding lines. The scope was routine on paper but unforgiving on restoration timelines and cashflow. The cancellation resets both the shutdown clock and the pricing test for local hydrotest vendors.
2) BPCL Kandla LPG terminal surveys face reset after mass technical disqualifications in BPCL Kandla pipeline survey 8BPCL’s pipeline survey tender for the Kandla LPG import terminal drew six bidders but only one cleared the technical bar. With competition thin and compliance strict, the buyer has cancelled the round. The reissue will likely harden expectations around DGPS-driven alignment, crossings geometry and cadastral depth.

1) BPCL HCU revamp EPCM bid pushed to 03 Oct as liability capped at 20% in BPCL Mumbai refinery 8BPCL has extended its HCU revamp EPCM bid to 03-10-2025 and quietly recut the liability maths. A new addendum caps exposure at 20% while pruning an open-ended negligence carve-out. The social-media compliance hook and digital housekeeping point to a tighter governance spine—not just a date shift.
2) Standards trump sketches in thermowell details in ONGC Hazira Part-B 8EIL replaced a requested project sketch with thermowell Standard 7-52-0035, tightening geometry and acceptance to a master reference. That removes interpretation latitude in a brownfield where tapping lengths and wake-frequency are unforgiving. The upside is fewer NCRs; the downside is zero room for site-fit improvisation.
3) Bid date pushed again for composite pipeline revamp in Hazira Part-B 8EIL has granted a second extension for the ONGC Hazira Part-B pipeline composite works, taking the bid date to 10 October. The scope’s hot-work interfaces and cathodic protection deliverables demanded deeper sub-vendor alignment. Policy filters remain tight, so this extra runway could reshape bidder strategy without relaxing compliance.
4) Bid window for 47 GC systems extended by 14 days in BPCL Bina Petchem & refinery expansion 8BPCL has pushed the bid deadline for its BPREP gas chromatograph package out by two weeks. The move intersects strict provenness rules, a licensor-tied NDA, and a heavy EMD regime. What it signals for bidder appetite and schedule risk is inside. Click on Details for moreDetails
8Bidders tried to push PSV sizing, SIL/SIS and flare inputs to DEC but the owner said no. The owner wants colored MSDs, sizing and safety deliverables embedded in BEDP to keep week-28 on track. That stance will reshape who bids and at what price. Click on Details for moreDetails
8Change in Management [Afcons] Details 8Firoz Cyrus Mistry, Santosh Nayar join Afcons Board [Afcons] Details 8GAIL’s MNJPL project nears completion, full commissioning by 31st December 2025 [GAIL] Details 8Official Proceedings Report of Gujarat Gas Limited 13th AGM [GGL] Details 8Intimation of Award of Contract from Oil India limited, Rajasthan to Alphageo Offshore Services Private limited (AOSPL), a Material Subsidiary Company [Alphageo] Details 8Summary of the 10th AGM and CEO’s Presentation [IRM] DetailsDetails
1) Emerson secures Palakkad DeltaV control-system upgrade in IOC’s /KSPPL Palakkad-Salem LPG pipeline 8IOCL has awarded the Palakkad control-system modification to the incumbent OEM. The job folds new hazardous-area RIO and I/O expansions into the existing DeltaV stack with a 30-day performance trial. Date extensions marked the pre-award phase, but the core scope and risk posture stayed intact.
2) NRL awards BOO CAAQMS contract with 90% analyser-uptime requirement 8A two-station ambient monitoring package at Numaligarh has been awarded under a BOO model with monthly rentals. NRL retained a stricter 90% analyser-level uptime despite a bidder’s ask to align with CPCB’s 85% norm. A wide L1–L2 price gap points to sharply different risk loading and operational models.
3) Technical philosophy simplified in Petronet LNG PDH-PP 8TA-01 removed master–follower and ECS signal requirements, aligning the controls scope to essentials. That reduces interfaces and risks at start-up. Expect fewer software dependencies in FAT/SAT.
4) AS Cooling edges L1 on CT mega-BOQ as EIL bakes PV-of-customs into evaluation in BPCL Bina BPREP 8A multi-BOQ bid cycle for BPCL Bina’s cooling towers delivered sharp spreads and some eye-watering outliers. EIL’s revised evaluation added PV-of-customs and operations manpower, changing how import-heavy bids clear. Technical edits on cell count and access close long-standing ambiguities without shifting risk off the contractor.
5) Single-window approvals consultancy awarded for Thanjavur and Mangalore LPG plants in BPCL 8BPCL has closed a 6-month, milestone-paid liaison package to secure CTE, Factories, Fire and DM NOCs for its Thanjavur and Mangalore LPG plants. The scope leans on LSDA-based DM clearances for 3×300 MT and 1×600 MT MSVs, with weekly progress reporting baked in. With a single bidder emerging, the price-discovery question shifts to how PQC framing and split LDs shape future turnout. Click on Details for moreDetails
1) CRU-specific QC is the core, not an add-on in IOCL Guwahati Refinery 8The scope front-loads RT interpretation, PMI checks and hydrotest witnessing, with daily observation reports. This reduces punch-points before MC. We’ll show where documentation stringency raises the bar.
2) Three bidders in for CPP shutdown insulation package in IOCL Paradip Refinery 8IOCL’s Paradip CPP shutdown tender drew three techno-bid participants in a critical, indivisible works package. The PQC and “similar nature” rules point to an insulation-heavy vendor pool with hydrocarbon credentials. With bid dates extended and time of completion fixed at 11 months from site handover, the competition now pivots to qualification clarity and schedule assurance.
3) HPCL LMBU pumps: EIL’s amendment flips guaranteed-power filing to priced bid as sole bidder enters 8EIL has replaced the BOQ and rewired how guaranteed BKW must be filed for HPCL’s LMBU vertical SPP pumps. But an earlier RFQ sheet still tells bidders to upload guarantees in the unpriced part, creating a procedural minefield. With only DMW in the technical ring, a portal-level supersession note could decide whether this closes cleanly or spirals into delay.
4) QCBS 80:20 sets the tone for selection for GAIL Gas public listing 8The tender hard-codes a quality-heavy evaluation with a 75-mark floor before financials open. That prioritises credible India IPO credentials over low quotes. Expect pricing discipline but not at the cost of advisory depth.
5) Two of three bidders clear technical bar for Factory NOC consultancy in BPCL Palakkad POL terminal 8BPCL has moved the Palakkad terminal’s Factory NOC support to the short list, with two firms passing technical scrutiny. The paperwork is Kerala-heavy: competent-person certification, all drawings re-cast, and unlimited liaison until NOC. But the bid pack’s own contradictions on EMD and timelines could yet shape the price fight. Click on Details for moreDetails
1) Bina BPREP pumps tender extends to 29 September as EIL issues technical amendment and tightens VS1 interfaces 8The vertical SPP package under BPREP has been pushed through four bid-due extensions while EIL upgraded key datasheets and added vessel design references. The owner also clarified scope through PBQ replies, keeping LCS and ARC valve outside pump vendor supply and locking NPSH/boot interfaces to amended documents. The mix broadens eligibility under MII while ratcheting accountability via corporate guarantees.
2) Reactor envelope widened to −20 C to 200 C for IOCL Bottom Upgradation 8The corrigendum extends reactor operating limits and affirms 80-bar service. This widens chemistry windows, especially for aromatic and halide media. It also drives higher-grade seals and jacket design.
3) Membrane specs clarified mid-tender 8Corrigendum No.1 fixes UF and RO models and permits equivalent RO with a three-year guarantee. That trims brand ambiguity but locks performance liability on the O&M side. It is a calculated push for apples-to-apples bids.
4) EIL extends bid date and tightens PPP-MII and datasheets for horizontal process pumps in BPCL Bina BPREP 8The pump package has been extended to 03-10-2025. EIL has issued TA-1 and two commercial amendments that reshape evaluation mandays and execution-stage PPP-MII proofs. Vendors seeking BB2 swaps or NPSHa relaxations will find the bar unchanged in most tags.
5) Bid clock pushed again as safety and digital scope clarified — BPCL PRFCC Mumbai Refinery 8BPCL has twice extended the PRFCC EPCM bid date while clarifying process-safety modeling and digital integration ground rules. The price schedule quietly introduces reduced man-month reimbursements during vendor-driven overruns, tightening late-stage cashflows. Whether an “automatic” shift to 29-Sep is formally notified will shape final week bid behavior.
6) IOCL-Digboi pushes CCUS market test with flue-gas sale EOI, extends bid date to 01 October 8IOCL-Digboi is asking bidders to lift flue-gas directly from heaters and reformers for carbon capture and utilization. The refinery has disclosed detailed CO? compositions and volumes, and is offering a five-year horizon with pricing per MT of flue-gas. A nine-day extension hints at a specialist vendor pool and credential-heavy participation. Click on Details for moreDetails
1) Cooling tower package pre-tender sets single-responsibility water-system agenda of a PP project 8NRL and EIL have lined up a virtual pre-tender to frame the scope, BQC and schedule for the PP project’s cooling-water system. The package rolls tower hardware, civil foundations, pumps and six-month dosing O&M into one responsibility. What bidders extract on PGTR metrics, liabilities and working-capital buffers will decide margins.
2) BPCL’s Bina petchem expansion readies API 610 vertical pump package under DCB with eight-month delivery in its BPREP 8EIL has called a pre-tender meet for API 610 vertical pump packages spanning refinery drains, flare KODs, and petchem transfers at Bina. The package couples design-to-field trials scope with a tight eight-month FOT site delivery and domestic competitive bidding. PTR and audited financials are in, but the risk clauses and cashflow levers will surface only in the bid.
3) EIL has called an online pre-tender session for the centrifugal pump package at BPCL’s Bina expansion 8An NDA gate, a domestic competition lane, and a 10-month FOT schedule set the tone before technicals are disclosed. Financial computation rules are pre-defined, hinting at tighter screening ahead.
4) GAIL’s DUPL-DDPL augmentation wraps EIA, marine and CRZ into a single accredited mandate 8GAIL has bundled EIA/EMP, marine impact and CRZ studies with end-to-end liaisoning under a one-year, overall-L1 package. Category “A” accreditation and prior hydrocarbon CRZ/MIA work sharply narrow eligibility while raising delivery certainty. The 27-month ePBG signals sustained accountability—but the real test will be how bidders price combined regulatory risk. Click on Details for moreDetails
8GAIL has pushed timelines and clarified that the PMC won’t be penalised for delays caused by the Historian SI or owner-side fronts. The two-year contract, standard 5% CPS and vendor-neutral mandate point to a governance-first delivery model. Whether the Big-4 plus Mecon mix converts technical strengths into a robust commissioning path will hinge on connectivity and cyber discipline. Click on Details for moreDetails
8IOCL has shifted the bid date for its direct bale feed LSTK package five times, now to 04 October. Each corrigendum keeps all terms intact, signalling no dilution of PQCs or commercial protections. The move likely aims to widen qualified participation for a technically narrow biomass-handling scope. Click on Details for more

8EIL has issued a pre-tender meet pack for a 125 TPD press-mud CBG project with five-year O&M on an LSTK basis. A collaborator-based qualification route is on the table, but with back-to-back guarantees and strict documentary proof. One methane-purity inconsistency could alter design margins and acceptance testing if not clarified before bids. Click on Details for more
