1) Crude sale in Colombia extended amid compliance bottlenecks 8The CPO-5 crude sale tender has been pushed from 29 September to 06 October 2025. 8The seven-day shift highlights buyer hesitation over tax compliance and volume risk. 8Whether this secures broader participation or entrenches a narrow bidder pool remains unclear.
2) Tripura EWTF bid deadline extended again amid PQC and EMD hurdles 8ONGC’s Khubal EWTF tender has been pushed from 26 September to 07 October, a net delta of 11 days. 8The manual extension reflects possible low participation despite a Rs 499.8 crore package. 8With heavy PQCs and no MSE relief, bidder hesitation is visible but unresolved.
3) Pipeline rehab tender locks bidders into high securities and zero deviation regime 8Oil India has launched a 700 km pipeline coating replacement tender with spread-wise EMDs exceeding Rs 1 crore. 8The tender bans bidder-initiated extensions and imposes automatic PBG escalation, tilting risk allocation. 8Whether this secures disciplined participation or drives single-bid outcomes remains to be seen.
1) Desalination tender pushed to 21 October as risk-heavy clauses deter bidders 8The modular desalination plant tender has been extended by more than a month. 8Strict ZLD penalties, long PBG lock-ins, and inspection agency changes are reshaping bidder appetite. 8Whether this extension signals a new procurement model or a market standoff remains to be seen.
2) HPHT services tender extended to 14 October as penalty clauses harden 8The submission deadline has been pushed by two weeks, now to 14 October, after bidder hesitancy persisted. 8The move comes alongside amendments that raise penalty recoveries to 20% and expand job refusal fines. 8Whether the softened maintenance timelines will be enough to attract wider participation remains unresolved.
3) Horizontal drilling bid delayed to 14 October amid stringent OEM tool norms 8The complex horizontal drilling package has been pushed back by two weeks, citing bidder preparedness. 8The Rs 1.58 crore EMD and 30-month PBG remain untouched. 8Whether this unlocks wider participation or entrenches a narrow vendor pool is yet to be seen.
4) Coring package in eastern basin extended again as mobilization-anchored clause reshapes risk 8The coring package has now been extended to 14 October 2025 after a second deadline push. 8Alongside the delay, the effective date clause has been rewritten, shifting contractual liability to mobilization. 8The option clause further amplifies client leverage, raising concerns over bidder appetite.
5) PLC spares contract deadline extended to 14 October, exposing sole-source contracting delays 8The PLC spares tender deadline has been pushed by nearly a month, despite it being a single-vendor rate contract. 8The unusual reliance on international price lists with annual revisions highlights PSU–OEM dynamics. 8Whether the extension is a mere formality or a sign of deeper bottlenecks is unclear.
1) Bid deadline pushed to 20 October 2025 under corrigendum for offshore crane O&M 8ONGC has officially moved the bid submission deadline for its offshore crane O&M tender to 20 October 2025. 8The date shift gives bidders breathing room to recalibrate manpower mobilisation and consumables planning. 8It reflects ONGC’s pragmatic stance on bidder preparedness without softening its strict compliance and security regime.
2) Date pushed to 03 October 2025, but precedence and security tighten the frame in ONGHC HOCU hire 8ONGC has moved the goalposts on the HOCU hire, giving bidders more runway. 8But the precedence stack and performance-security teeth leave little room for interpretive leeway. 8The HOCU envelope and TPI clocks will shape who actually turns up.
3) Third extension pushes bid to 10 October 2025 without altering terms for integrated drilling services, at Baghewala. 8OIL has added a final 14-day push to bring the bid window to 10 October. 8The move preserves scope and governance while giving IDS players breathing room to lock rigs and surety lines. 8The competitive dynamic now hinges on who can convert the extra time into compliant, bankable offers.
4) Third extension signals bidder hesitation in ONGC’s digital integrator empanelment 8ONGC has pushed its system integrator empanelment tender to mid-October, after two earlier extensions. 8The move underscores continued resistance from potential bidders facing stiff eligibility norms. 8Whether the balance of risk and flexibility draws enough competition is the open question.
5) Oil India extends cementing services bid in Rajasthan by 28 days amid tight PQC controls 8The cementing and BHP services tender for Rajasthan has been pushed to 10 October 2025. 8The four-week extension reflects limited early participation under OIL’s restrictive PQC and global tie-up mandate. 8Whether bidders adapt or the tender slips into single-bid territory remains unresolved.
1) Siam Services takes L1 for two automatic digital well analyser sets in ONGC Rajahmundry procurement 8ONGC closed the GeM event for two automated digital well analyser sets with Siam Services quoting L-1. 8Corrigenda locked in automation, accessory counts and a priced spares list outside evaluation. 8The price is set, but bid spreads, owner estimate and any disqualifications remain undisclosed.
2) Photo finish: Lichens edges out Chetankumar V. Shah by 14 paise for Hazira utilities O&M 8A photo-finish at the top masks a policy-heavy shift beneath the bid. 8ONGC’s revised fair wage regime and invoice-recovery triggers recalibrate how contractors cost labour risk. 8The SOW’s “revamps included” clause could be the silent swing factor on margins.
3) R L Agarwalla wins ONGC Assam composite-mats O&M; dependency clause curbs idle standbys 8A tight bid field converged around a lean L1, but ONGC’s new dependency clause quietly moved the risk posts. 8Inter-location SLAs and short-deployment charges will now test contractors’ bench depth and transport discipline. 8The build-specs and tracking rules hint at fewer damage disputes—but only if DPRs hold up.
4) Only two bidders enter ONGC Ankleshwar’s GRP/GRE maintenance race as clarifications harden around zero-deviation rules 8A two-bid framework with frozen specs leaves little oxygen for post-opening manoeuvres. 8With insurance surety bonds and policy undertakings in play, paperwork is strategy. 8The two participants must win on method, compliance discipline and documented capability.
5) OIL relaxes mobilization, hard-codes ESG and steel policy in slickline tender 8Mobilization goes from 90 to 120 days while OIL takes tool ownership out of price fog. 8ESG and steel declarations move from guidance to hard compliance. 8A date push to 06 October 2025 is claimed, but not seen in the papers herein.
8A two-horse race ends with Manan pricing about one-fifth below its rival. 8The amended TOR/ATC stack signals OIL’s intent to standardise BEC/SCC/SoR/SoP across high-stakes drilling packages. 8The result will shape vendor pools and risk language in the rig and services tenders that follow. Click on Details for moreDetails
8Price spread shows capability-led bidding with limited scope for opportunistic discounts. 8The SOW hard-codes availability and QA/QC obligations that raise the bar on tool fleets and back-ups. 8The award will test whether penalties and LIH carve-outs translate into lower NPT on high-angle wells. Click on Details for moreDetails
8A single disclosed L1 hints at a tight, capability-screened field. 8The financial BEC revision and extra PBG mechanisms likely shaped who stayed competitive. 8The engineering burden sits in pneumatic transfer and utility tie-ins that punish thin liquidity during commissioning.

8The owner is shopping for a UBD feasibility that doesn’t just theorize, but pressure-tests rigs, sites and safety against depleted reservoirs. 8A 70:30 QCBS with a high technical bar shifts the contest to teams that have actually run UBD. 8Price will matter, but only after the subsurface and HAZOP math adds up.

8A late-June RA-bound completion package at LuPech has been pulled after two quick deadline extensions. The scope was classic brownfield closure — structural/piping/electrical/I&C with full loop checks — under a six-month clock. No cancellation memorandum is present in the tender PDFs, leaving reasons unspecified in the document. Click on Details for more

1) L1 at one-fifth of rival takes Petronet MHB Ltd’s CDP mandate amid on-prem and NIC-maps constraints 8PMHBL has awarded its corporate digitalization program with strict on-prem and geospatial secrecy rules baked in. The winning bid came in far below the only other qualified price, raising questions about risk loading and delivery playbooks. The contract template tightens control through an option clause, signed pre-bid replies, and document-precedence over GeM.
2) Aseries wins IOCL Kochi HFHSD pipeline EIA/RA at a sharp 11.8% under estimate 8IOCL has closed the GeM award for the Kochi HFHSD pipeline EIA and risk study with a deep L1 undercut. The job spans a 3.04 km coastal-naval corridor with CRZ and security sensitivities. The pricing spread and PQC bite hint at a smaller, tighter vendor pool for future coastal studies.
3) AfG wins PLL Dahej demountable flare package as EIL locks milestone-gated payments in PDH-PP project 8AfG edged Zeeco by a 3.0% margin for PLL’s demountable flare at Dahej. EIL’s amendments tightened hydrotesting and empowered payment holds if milestones slip. The interface clarifications reduce claims risk but raise planning discipline for hot taps and dismantling.

8Technip Energies India took L1 on the biggest-value BoQs for BPCL’s Bina polypropylene and butene-1 EPCC, with Tecnimont and L&T splitting the rest. Percentage gaps on the core lots are tight, hinting at rational risk pricing rather than a margin war. A deep specification stack and strict GCC terms point to low claim latitude once the job kicks off. Click on Details for more

1) Reciprocating air compressors tender opens under NDA and no-EMD filters for BPCL Bina BPREP 8BPCL and EIL have kicked off the plant/instrument air compressor package for Bina’s petchem-refinery expansion. The bid is domestic-limited with a long-tail NDA guarding ethylene-cracker-linked IP and no EMD at the start. The real contest will be fought on deviation loadings, spares depth, and documentation discipline—details bidders will only discover inside the MR.
2) EIL issues NDA-gated heat-exchanger RFQ with zero-deviation and granular cash-gates for Dahej PDH-PP 8PLL’s PDH-PP project has opened a limited RFQ for CS/LAS-clad and SS exchangers with bottom-line evaluation and no reverse auction. The bid is zero-deviation, NDA-gated, and backed by an unusually detailed milestone-payment map tied to drawings and raw-materials. The structure favours engineering-disciplined fabricators who can lock metals and move quickly through Code-wise approvals. Click on Details for moreDetails
1) HPCL LMBU EPCC-01 leans on energy guarantees as bid due slips to 15 Oct in HPCL 8The IHCD-SDA EPCC now rides on quantified energy envelopes that count at evaluation and at PGTR. That pushes bidders to price what they promise — and live with price reductions if they miss. Six bid-date extensions and a second pre-bid hint at complexity beneath the gloss.
2) Three-step bid deadline push and new piping class reshape CW composite tender in IOCL Panipat PBR 8IOCL has moved the submission date from 18-Aug to 20-Oct across three addenda while adding a full PMS pipe class to the package. The result is a more prescriptive spec but a longer pre-award runway. Whether this widens the bidder pool and tightens RA outcomes is the question left open.
3) BPCL Mumbai PRFCC EPCM bid clock pushed to Oct 6 as BPCL tightens liability cap and eases toolchain rules 8BPCL has carried the PRFCC EPCM submission into October even as it trims legal risk for bidders and codifies digital-delivery flexibility. The liability ceiling is now explicit and several payment milestones turn pro-rata, but escalation and reimbursable CM remain off the table. The HSE bar rises with HIPPS and refinery-wide flare adequacy baked in.
4) EIL pushes DCU metering to October 6 close after two extensions in NRL DCU revamp ultrasonic flowmeters 8EIL has stretched the bid clock on NRL’s ultrasonic flowmeters package from mid-September to October 6. The scope mixes quad-path inline meters and insertion-type flare service hardware with clarified Ex d + Ex i compliance. Suppliers still face a six-month delivery bar despite special MOC lead-time pleas.
5) Paradip steam BOO pushed to 06 Oct as IOCL codifies 2×300 TPH RPC CFBC integration 8Indian Oil’s Paradip steam outsourcing is now a three-extension story, with bids closing on 06 Oct. The EOI keeps a strict technical envelope—API/AGA metering, BL isolation, and DCS soft signals—while indexing long-term charges to WPI/CPI/FX. The combination should widen bidder comfort, but the real test is how availability and penalties land in the final paper. Click on Details for moreDetails
1) BPCL Bina pushes VDU condenser buy with locked owner design and NABCB-gated TPI 8BPCL has clarified EMD and pre-bid logistics while keeping design in-house for its VDU/CDU condensers. The move raises the bar on manufacturing quality and accreditation without loosening delivery or deviation levers. What it means for bidder appetite and per-tag pricing will be visible only at opening.
2) Column trays package gets 7-day bid push in BPCL Kochi polypropylene project 8EIL has moved the bid clock from 29 September to 6 October on BPCL’s Kochi polypropylene trays package. The zero-deviation posture and six-month FOT delivery stay intact, but bidder liquidity remains cushioned with no EMD. The exception to the “no extension envisaged” line hints at participation readiness, not scope churn.
3) NREP MSB coalescer package gets a one-week bid extension in Numaligarh 8NRL has pushed the bid deadline for its MSB regeneration loop coalescer by seven days. The limited, two-bid tender keeps delivery tight at 10 months with a full 10% security stack. The NDA-gated spec pack and non-divisible award leave little room for casual bidders.
4) Paradip heavy-lift ARC eases crane performance clause and nudges bid window 8IOCL has softened the 250 MT crane’s at-height capacity requirement while preserving boom geometry and safety scaffolding. The move likely broadens fleet eligibility ahead of the GeM RA. With the bid window now running into early October, vendor strategies will pivot to compliance speed and price discipline.
5) IOCL extends Paradip acrylic acid chain feasibility by a week, narrows scope to Capex-only 8IOCL has pushed its GeM bid by seven days even as it trims the feasibility to Capex estimation. The addendum hard-codes cost buckets and flare-load expectations while a single licensor architecture is confirmed. The pivot changes how bidders price utilities, logistics and integration without arguing economics upfront. Click on Details for moreDetails
8The owner wants brownfield reroutes and drawing packages that will stand up to stress calculations and IBR scrutiny. The tender pushes GeM-total supremacy, nil deviations and ITC-netted L1, tightening commercial slippage. The safety kit mandate hints at high-hazard adjacency and frequent site work even for a “design and drawing” contract. Click on Details for moreDetails
