1) HPCL tightens risk and mobilisation controls in new pan-India expediting services tender 8HPCL’s latest Minor Projects tender puts unprecedented pressure on expediting agencies to mobilise nationwide within tight 48-hour windows. The contract shifts nearly all travel, lodging, and compliance costs to the contractor while demanding clause-level engineering oversight at vendor shops. The tougher structure sets the stage for a narrow but highly competitive bidder field.
2) BPCL Bina Refinery’s new tender tightens control over ATF reactor charcoal-replacement operations 8BPCL Bina has floated a new service tender that compresses the charcoal-replacement window for its ATF reactor. The scope pushes vessel cleaning, internal de-choking, and precise bed loading to the contractor under a strict eight-day turnaround. Several compliance-heavy conditions signal a sharper procurement stance for critical CDU/VDU support jobs.
3) HRRL launches tightly structured O&M manpower tender for AMPL Gujarat pipeline section 8HRRL has issued a manpower-intensive O&M package for the AMPL crude pipeline covering operations, mechanical maintenance, housekeeping and documentation. The new tender locks wage components, overtime rules and statutory reimbursements, narrowing bidder discretion. The real test lies in how vendors balance strict compliance demands with round-the-clock operational readiness.
4) HRRL sets tight, escalation-proof electrical O&M regime for AMPL Gujarat section 8HRRL’s new electrical O&M tender for the AMPL Gujarat section quietly rewires how midstream manpower contracts handle wages, overtime and field logistics. The scope folds HT/LT systems, CP, fire protection, instrumentation and SCADA into one integrated mandate for COT and all key stations. What is less obvious at first glance is how the mix of strict wage floors, reimbursable extras and narrow PQ filters will shape who can bid — and how they will price the risk.
1) EIL pushes ONGC Hazira pipeline revamp tender to 25 November after four extensions 8The ONGC Hazira Part-B pipeline-revamp tender has now been extended to 25 November after four rounds of deadline shifts. New pre-bid clarifications reveal tighter contractor-supply obligations and manual-only crane operations in hazardous zones. Several bidders appear to be recalibrating their scope, costing, and mobilisation plans as a result.
2) BPCL Bina cooling-water pump tender extended again as EIL rejects all downgrade requests 8EIL has issued a second extension for BPCL’s Bina cooling-water pump package while holding firm on all major technical specifications. Vendors sought relaxation on seals, lubrication, coatings and start-up philosophy, but each request was declined. The delays now highlight interface dependencies and tightening reliability expectations for the BPREP cooling-water system.
3) BPCL extends bid deadline for large-diameter fittings package under Bina petchem project 8BPCL has pushed the submission deadline for its high-diameter fittings tender by a total of 13 days. The schedule shift comes without any accompanying technical or commercial changes. The move hints at bidder-readiness constraints in a thinly contested specialty-fittings category.
4) IOCL Panipat extends CCRU catalyst-replacement tender deadline by four days 8IOCL has pushed the submission deadline for its CCRU catalyst-replacement tender, signaling caution around bidder preparedness. The package carries high shutdown sensitivity and depends on niche catalyst-handling specialists. What this short extension means for participation and schedule integrity becomes clearer inside the document.
1) EIL opens eight technical bids for MRPL’s material handling works package 8Eight bidders have entered the fray for MRPL’s logistics-heavy material handling contract. The tender carries unusually low PQC thresholds despite strict zero-deviation and safety conditions. How EIL filters this broad pool will shape competition in the price round.
2) Only one bidder clears GMPL’s technical scrutiny for H2O2 oxidation tank agitator 8GMPL’s technical bid opening reduced a three-bidder field to a single qualified supplier. Two bidders were disqualified at the documentation stage with no reasons disclosed in the tender record. The narrowing of the field sets up a constrained financial evaluation.
3) Seven of eleven bidders clear HPCL’s technical gate for Mazgaon Lube Plant consultancy tender 8HPCL has shortlisted seven engineering consultants for the Mazgaon Lube Plant revamp package. The filtration marks a crucial step in selecting the firm that will define the design, automation, and safety architecture of the new TT gantry and associated facilities. The details reveal a competitive field but also expose documentation gaps among disqualified bidders.
1) IOCL cancels DHDS catalyst procurement tender ahead of technical evaluation 8The DHDS catalyst tender at Gujarat Refinery has been cancelled before technical scrutiny, pausing a complex procurement cycle tied to diesel quality and reactor-cycle planning. The cancellation halts a process that carried unusually detailed reactor-specific constraints and strict sulfur-performance guarantees. What triggered the withdrawal remains unclear and signals a deeper internal reassessment.
2) IOCL cancels catalyst procurement tender for Panipat PP-unit 8IOCL has withdrawn the catalyst procurement tender for the Panipat polypropylene unit through a formal cancellation corrigendum. The decision overrides all earlier terms, schedules and reverse-auction provisions. Why the cancellation was triggered, and how the procurement will be reset, remains unspecified.
1) IOCL Barauni Refinery awards reprography contract at steep discount to estimate 8The final pricing for IOCL Barauni Refinery’s reprography contract has landed far below the refinery’s internal estimate. A sharp spread between L1 and L2 suggests a highly competitive service landscape with pronounced cost compression. What this means for service reliability and contract execution will depend on how the awarded vendor manages tight margins.
2) HPCL awards consolidated QRA–HAZOP–HIRA–ERDMP package at Patna ASF after wide 11-bid competition 8HPCL’s Patna ASF has finalised the award for its multi-study aviation-safety package covering QRA, HAZOP, HIRA, and ERDMP preparation. The financial outcome shows a sharply tiered spread across 11 bidders, revealing distinct cost assumptions on regulatory depth and modelling
8The latest bidder clarifications reshape risk boundaries for land, carbon credits, and minimum equity. MSW developers gain relief on possession requirements, but IOCL has retained full ownership of environmental attributes. Several material issues remain undefined and will now move into the post-empanelment negotiation zone. Click on Details for moreDetails
1) ONGC frontier basins ARC hard-wires TPIA-verified experience and a 60:40 split to derisk drill-site civil works 8ONGC’s new frontier basins civil ARC looks like a routine drill-site tender until you read the small print. 8Behind the three-year rate contract sits a TPIA-policed experience bar and a 60:40 work-allocation algorithm that favour only the most documented contractors. 8The real story is whether civil players will accept this higher compliance load in return for basin-wide control over drill-site infrastructure.
2) ONGC Cambay’s free-gas power bargain loads uptime, mines compliance and meter health on a single natural gas genset contractor 8ONGC Cambay is offering free fuel but little room for error on a two-year hire of a single natural gas-based genset for SRP wells. 8Behind the GeM listing is a dense web of uptime targets, calibrated meters, Mines Act training and HSE penalties that quietly shift operational risk onto the contractor. 8How bidders price a contract where gas is free but every breakdown, absent operator or uncertified worker carries a cash penalty will decide who is willing to play.
3) L1 edges L2 by just 0.1% as ONGC locks in variable frequency drives for Tripura and Dehradun. 8ONGC’s latest GeM award for variable frequency drives has produced one of the tightest price spreads seen in its recent electrical packages. 8CPT Projects beats Sanguine Oilfield Services by a margin of just Rs 57,616 on a Rs 4.11 crore deal. 8Behind that single decimal point sits a dense web of PPP-MII penalties, integrity oversight and arbitration rules that will shape how both sides live with this contract.
4) Three HVAC specialists make the technical cut as ONGC narrows its six-rig O&M tender field. 8ONGC’s multi-rig HVAC O&M package has quietly moved from open marketplace to a three-vendor shortlist. 8Two bidders have already fallen at the technical hurdle, even as the contract’s 24×7 offshore scope and availability targets remain untouched. 8How this tighter field prices a comprehensive, risk-heavy O&M contract will decide whether ONGC has struck the right balance between competition and control.
5) Bid window on torque turn services pushed to 28 November in ONGC Rajahmundry RJY asset 8ONGC has quietly pushed its GeM bid for torque turn services in RJY asset from 14 November to 28 November 2025. 8The extension buys vendors time to align HP-HT-grade equipment and crews with a tough liability and LD framework that remains untouched. 8Whether this extra fortnight deepens competition or merely delays the start of a critical HP-HT support contract is what industry will now watch for.
6) OIL pushes bid deadline to 19 November as the Jorhat 125-TPD CBG EPCOM tender enters its fifth extension phase. 8OIL has granted bidders another 27 days to submit proposals for the flagship 125-TPD MSW-to-CBG plant at Jorhat. 8The move comes after a series of technical and contractual corrections reshaped the tender’s risk and design envelope. 8What finally emerges on 19 November will reveal how bidders have absorbed the revised scope and compliance load.
8ONGC has quietly moved the closing date for its flagship 3000 m DP drillship tender to 20 November 2025. 8The extension adds a week to an already stretched schedule without touching DP-3, MPD or ROV obligations. 8Whether that extra time deepens the rig pool or merely delays a thin contest is what the deepwater market is now watching.

8ONGC has quietly reframed acid-gas handling from a disposal problem to a commercial decarbonisation opportunity. 8The Uran pilot asks vendors not just to capture CO? and convert H?S but to market the products themselves. 8The tension lies in whether technology providers will accept a model that shifts both operational reliability and product-evacuation risk onto them.

8Oil India has bundled five wireline logging units, deep-well HPHT capability and a suite of advanced tools into a single, indivisible package. 8Behind the familiar four-year service label sits a layered risk-transfer design: high bid security, parent guarantees and strict experience bars that only a handful of global contractors can clear. 8How those bidders price the optional high-spec services and respond to the new ESG and TPI burdens will decide whether this becomes OIL’s new template or an expensive one-off experiment.

We plan to run a series over time on what ails the gas-based power sector in India, as it is not just expensive power but the regulatory pitfalls that assails the segment 8Here is a story of how the government had forced a gas generator to generate power 8But then when payments were delayed, there were not regulations in place to compensate for that Click on Details for more
