1) EIL awards OH6 high-speed centrifugal pump package for PLL’s PDH-PP unit to Sundyne
8EIL has finalised the pump package for PLL’s PDH-PP project after a single-bidder contest shaped by licensor and BQC constraints. The award favours a field-proven OH6-type integrally geared machine aligned to UOP’s process envelope. What that means for cost discipline and future rotating-equipment competition sits behind the award narrative.
 
2) IOCL Guwahati awards Part-3 insulation shutdown package to Industrial Associates
8The Guwahati refinery has closed the Part-3 insulation package with a single disclosed L1. The tender moved through a date-extension cycle but without any technical or commercial amendments. The final award reinforces IOCL’s strict vendor-rotation and shutdown-specific PQ norms.
 
3) Atlas Copco secures BPCL BPREP decoking air compressor package under EIL-run tender
8Atlas Copco has taken the integrally-geared compressor package at Bina after a tightly controlled OEM shortlist. The package sits inside BPCL’s wider BPREP rotating-equipment pipeline, where EIL is enforcing some of its strictest PTR and sourcing-matrix rules. The full award structure raises questions about competitive bandwidth and the pricing corridor for API 672 machines.
 
4) HPCL awards VVPL 349-km CIPL survey to Shivi Energy Solutions at a sharp pricing spread
8HPCL has closed the 349-km VVPL CIPL survey with a wide separation between L1 and upper quotes. The awarded rate sits nearly 30–48% below competing bids, signalling a strongly cost-aggressive stance in an interference-heavy corridor. What that means for execution quality and future CP interventions sits deeper in the contract architecture.
 
5) EIL awards Bio-ATF material-handling package at aggressive L1 spread
8EIL has finalised the Bio-ATF material-handling award for MRPL with a distinctly wide price spread across the limited bidder panel. The L1 quote lands well below the mid-table cluster, signalling uneven risk loading for a compliance-heavy two-year package. Behind that number lies a logistics scope that drives critical interfaces across warehouse, transport and refinery operations.

8HPCL has finalised Firecon Consultants as L1 for the engineering consultancy of the Mazgaon Lube Plant revamp. The unusually wide bid spread points to varying perceptions of scope intensity and risk allocation. The real test now lies in how quickly the consultant can convert HPCL’s multi-layered SOW into executable design and tender packages.

1) IOCL Paradip filters consultancy field in sulphuric acid and cetane improver tank design tender
8Eleven bidders entered but only six cleared the technical screen, revealing a sharp divide between drafting-level firms and refinery-qualified engineering houses. The stakes now shift to how quickly the shortlisted consultants can align with IOCL’s compressed 30-day delivery window.

1) Avant-Garde secures HPRGEL’s three-site CBG DFR-and-PMC mandate
8HPRGEL’s three-site CBG programme has closed with a decisive financial spread and a QCBS-driven shortlist. Avant-Garde’s winning offer outpaced Fichtner by a wide margin but now carries a deep multi-stage execution burden. The tender’s unusually detailed scoring and clause changes hint at a more controlled project-development cycle ahead.
 
2) HPRGE awards multi-site CBG DFR and PMC package to L1 bidder Avant-Garde Systems under tightened QCBS scoring.
8A wide price spread and a reworked QCBS matrix shaped the final outcome of HPRGE’s three-site CBG consultancy tender. The revised technical rubric placed heavy weight on biogas-specific experience and presentation-driven evaluation. What follows maps how those changes influenced the award and what it signals for future CBG procurement.

1) IOCL floats multi-technology ILI tender for Delhi–Panipat–Ambala MJPL sections
8IOCL’s new integrity tender pushes high-resolution A-MFL, UTCW and UTSW tools into two ageing MJPL stretches. The contract demands a single agency capable of cleaning, geometry, metal-loss, crack detection and FFP engineering. Behind the clear technical outline sit stringent qualification filters and a net-of-ITC pricing model that will shape bidder strategy.
 
2) BPCL Kochi Refinery launches three-year integrated exchanger-maintenance contract for Zone 1
8BPCL Kochi Refinery BPCL has opened a three-year mechanical-services tender that consolidates all exchanger works under a single, non-divisible rate contract. The technical spread spans floating-head, fixed-tube-sheet, kettle-type, and HP units, signalling the refinery’s intent to tighten lifecycle governance. Behind the broad scope lie strict timelines, fixed pricing, and a risk matrix that leans heavily toward execution discipline.
 
3) HPCL tightens integrity controls in Visakhapatnam–Vijayawada DCVG survey tender
8HPCL’s latest VVPL survey tender raises the bar on DCVG accuracy, calibration discipline, and NACE-led execution. The mandatory 20-pit validation, no-subcontracting rule, and strict chainage-matching requirements indicate a shift towards deeper integrity assurance. What remains to be seen is how many contractors can meet the skill and documentation thresholds embedded into this procurement.
 
4) IOCL tightens credential bar for IATF consultancy at Mumbai Lube Blending Plant
8IOCL has issued a tightly structured consultancy tender that demands direct IATF 16949:2016 project credentials without allowing similar-service equivalence. The plant’s plan to align its lubricant operations with automotive-grade quality has raised the bar for eligible consultants. What appears to be a modest consultancy scope carries deep procedural and delivery stakes once the clause-level details are unpacked.

1) EIL/BPCL pushes PIAS compressor bid for BPREP by 49 days
8EIL has extended the reciprocating compressor bid deadline four times, shifting the close from 13 October to 1 December. The unusually long, multi-step extension points to bidder-side preparation delays under a licensor-controlled documentation regime. What this means for sequencing and competition sits behind the paywall.
 
2) BPCL Kochi pump package pushed through four weekly extensions to 25 November
8Four successive deadline extensions have taken the LCWS pump package from a late-October close to 25 November. The shift comes despite EIL’s formal position that extensions are “not envisaged”, indicating internal pressure to broaden bidder response. The move tightens sequencing for a package tied closely to PP-unit utility readiness.
 
3) BPCL Mumbai Refinery extends NHGU steam-turbine bid to late November after ATC reset
8BPCL has pushed the NHGU turbine-generator tender through three sequential deadline shifts, adding a full 21 days to the bid timeline. The extensions follow a bidder request cycle and coincide with a complete reset of Buyer-Added ATCs under Corrigendum C1 and C6. What these shifts imply for competition, integration risk and clause-level compliance sits behind the paywall.
 
4) EIL holds firm on high-spec demountable flare design for BPCL Bina BPREP flare package
8BPCL’s Bina petchem-refinery expansion flare tender is emerging as a high-spec, high-discipline package where EIL has resisted most OEM attempts to dilute scope. Cement lining, CFD/FEA on water seal drums, nitrogen-handling envelopes and fire water spray all survive the pre-bid round intact. Behind those terse clarifications lies a sharper message for bidders about who will carry design, safety and lifecycle risk on this flagship flare system.
 
5) EIL extends bid deadline for NRL’s PPU labyrinth compressor package by one week
8EIL has granted a one-week extension for the labyrinth reciprocating compressor tender under NRL’s Polypropylene Unit. The shift moves the deadline from 17 November to 24 November, affecting a tightly-managed procurement calendar. What appears procedural may carry deeper signals about vendor readiness and OEM bandwidth.

8GAIL has shortlisted three environmental consultancies for the EIA, MIA and CRZ package linked to the DUPl–DDPL augmentation.
8Two bidders were screened out at the documentation stage, with reasons not specified in the record.
8The narrowed field now sets up a competitive but compliance-anchored price round.

8BPCL has pushed its flagship licensor tender for the 500 KTPA swing unit to a new closing date after two extensions.
8The delay aligns with a dense technical amendment that reshapes turndown, hydrogen design, product distribution, and guarantee structures.
8What remains unclear is how licensors will recalibrate their economic models and risk cushions under the revised hydrogen and grade-portfolio expectations.

8EIL has pushed through a second commercial amendment on BPCL’s Ramayapatnam ethylene cracker licensor tender, and this one rewires the price and compliance backbone.
8The updated schedule of prices, precious-metal procurement rules and 15% loading on payment-term deviations will materially shape how licensors structure their offers.
8What looks like a housekeeping corrigendum on paper could decide who clears evaluation and on what cashflow terms.

8ONGC Cambay Asset had lined up a tightly engineered MWD/SDMM/drilling jar package to support a 4.5-month directional drilling push.
8The tender carried detailed motor envelopes, data-transmission penalties and non-splitable board purchase terms, but now stands cancelled solely because the requirement has been withdrawn.
8What this does to Cambay’s directional drilling strategy and to service-provider planning is left unsaid in the documents—and that silence is where the real questions begin.

1) Undercuts rivals by up to 29.2% to clinch ONGC’s six-rig HVAC O&M contract.
8A three-year, six-rig HVAC O&M package for ONGC’s jack-ups has closed with one contractor winning against two higher-priced specialist rivals.
8The gap between L1 and the trailing bids is wide enough to raise questions about how each bidder priced offshore reliability, spares and consumables risk.
8The answer will emerge only as the demanding SOW, availability targets and spare-parts clauses move from paper to platform.
 
2) Clarification-heavy LC and TPI filters quietly reshape the bidder field on Oil India’s 45 MT crane hire.
8Nine local crane and construction outfits entered Oil India’s 45 MT crane race, but only five made it past the document-driven filters.
8Behind the disqualification list sits a web of LC declarations, TPI-verified clarifications and MSE preference rules that now matter as much as tonnage and boom length.
8The real story is how these clarification-stage demands will determine who actually captures the 3+2 split when prices open.
 
3) Single bidder falls at the qualification hurdle in a TPI-heavy hot oil circulation unit tender
8Oil India’s latest hot oil circulation unit tender has produced a paradox: a single participating bidder and zero technically qualified contenders.
8The same third-party verification and BEC/BRC regime that was meant to protect the operator has instead emptied the field at the evaluation stage.
8What this combination of strict documentation filters and long-term OEM obligations means for the next round of bidding is where the story really begins.
 
4) Oil India compresses helicopter mobilisation to 60 days and adds 25% option swing in KG Basin charter tender
8Oil India has quietly shaved 30 days off the mobilisation clock for its KG Basin offshore helicopter charter, while hard-wiring CAR-145 maintenance readiness into the same deadline.
8A new 25% option clause now lets the company stretch or shrink flying commitments without reopening the contract.
8What this means for bidder appetite, pricing and risk allocation is not obvious from the corrigendum alone.
 
5) ONGC stretches bid-security validity and adds anti-cartel teeth in integrated SJS & SHD seismic tender corrigendum
8ONGC’s first corrigendum on its multi-sector integrated SJS and SHD seismic tender looks deceptively minor but quietly rewires how bid security, force majeure and competition will be policed.
8Bid bonds and bank guarantees must now run longer, while anti-cartel language and arithmetic-discrepancy rules strip out familiar grey zones for bidders.
8How that plays through into bidder appetite, pricing discipline and the eventual award details remains to be seen.
 
6) Bid clock pushed by 11 days but risk template intact for offshore rig valuation
8ONGC has quietly pushed the bid deadline for valuing an offshore rig from 10 November to 21 November 2025 without touching EMD, ePBG or QCBS ratios.
8Behind that simple date change sits a tightly framed scope that demands on-rig inspections, underwater checks and a 10-year O&M cost forecast from a fully qualified valuation house.
8The real story is whether this extra time will broaden competition or simply give a small club of pre-qualified firms more room to sharpen their methods and price.
 
Click on Details for more Details
8Behind that sits a dense SOW of Petrel-ready deliverables, tight timelines, and fortnightly QC that the contract never relaxes.

1) BPCL Bina terminal O&M bid narrows to four qualified players after stringent technical screening
8BPCL’s technical-bid review for the BDT O&M contract has sharply reduced the field, retaining only four of eight participants. Corrigendum-led changes eased retention and AMC timelines but left stock-loss and railway obligations untouched. The resulting bidder pool reflects a deliberate tilt toward high-competence operators.

1) IOCL Bongaigaon awards composite shutdown contract after tight L1–L2 price clustering
8IOCL’s Bongaigaon shutdown tender closed with an unusually tight competition between the top two bidders. The price spread was barely over one percent, signalling intense margin pressure in the Northeast shutdown market. The final award confirms a cost-disciplined environment with little room for premium loading.
 
2) IOCL Paradip recirculation compressor package awarded to Atlas Copco
8IOCL has finalised the supplier for its high-specification PP Line-2 recirculation compressor package after a tightly filtered domestic enquiry. The package sits at the heart of the gas-phase reactor unit and is governed by unusually strict PQC and NDA controls. The award outcome raises important questions about competition depth, risk allocation and licensor-interface expectations.
 
3) GMPL awards WWTP oxidation tank agitator supply to single qualified MSE bidder
8GMPL’s SEZ-based procurement for the WWTP oxidation agitator closed with just one technically qualified bidder. Two competitors were screened out during evaluation, leaving the MSE bidder as the sole financial contender. The award value and narrow vendor field raise questions about sourcing depth in specialized rotating equipment.
 
4) MRPL awards two-year instrumentation services contract at Aromatic Complex to Narayan Engineering
8MRPL has finalised the award for its Aromatic Complex instrumentation contract after a sharply competitive five-bidder race. The winning quote sits nearly 19% below the next bidder, reshaping the cost baseline for future maintenance tenders. What this spread reveals about MRPL’s pricing expectations and contractor risk load emerges only within the detailed analysis.

8GAIL’s Bengaluru bio-CNG project saw a tightly contested PMC race with half the bidders disqualified at the technical stage. The financial bids revealed a wide pricing spread, signalling divergent cost assumptions for the 12.6 TPD asset. The award now sets the baseline for project oversight and engineering discipline.
Click on Details for more Details
8Indian Oil’s Panipat refinery has quietly locked in a two-year technical services agreement with its PTA licensor Koch Technology Solutions. A lean package of 150 helpdesk hours and one annual site visit has been tied to a BLS index-linked fee structure. What this single-bid award does not spell out is how far IOCL can stretch licensor support if the PTA unit faces sustained operating stress.
Click on Details for more Details
8HPCL’s technologically sensitive IHCD–SDA EPCC package has moved into the technical-bid stage with only two bidders submitting complete dossiers. The tender saw multiple extensions and strengthened licensor-driven confidentiality controls before opening. What remains unclear is how the guarantee-loading and BQC verification will shape the commercial standings.

1) IOCL launches balance-piling package for PP-3 under EPCM3-03 at Panipat Refinery
8The new balance-piling tender for PP-3 brings forward IOCL’s tightest mobilisation and safety controls under the P-25 programme. Contractors face compressed execution windows and strict BG architecture even as interface pressures remain high across EPCM-3 workfronts. The core details sit inside a broader commercial framework that shifts most schedule and operational risk downstream.
 
2) IOCL Panipat seeks DMDS supply and unloading services for CDW unit under EPCM-3 package
8IOCL has launched a fresh EPCM-3 chemical procurement focused on safe, controlled sulfiding of the Panipat CDW unit. The tender mandates vendor-provided unloading hardware and an advance safety plan, signalling heightened operational caution. The full package outlines strict experience filters but offers commercial relief through an EMD waiver.
 
3) HPCL begins multi-port LPG import feasibility drive in Gujarat
8HPCL has launched a multi-location feasibility exercise to finalise the most viable port in Gujarat for a new LPG import and storage terminal. The tender frames a high-risk, high-impact study that spans jetty adequacy, refrigerated storage, caverns and cross-country pipeline integration. How the consultant balances marine constraints, Capex/Opex modelling and regulatory pathways will decide which port becomes HPCL’s next western LPG gateway.
 
4) IOCL Panipat tightens operational risk controls in sulphur palletizer O&M contract
8IOCL’s P-25 SRU block contract embeds unusually strict operational-negligence penalties for rotaformer and loading-arm operations. The scope pushes significant safety and manpower-continuity obligations onto the contractor while retaining IOCL’s control over raw sulphur and core systems. What this structure means for bidder liquidity and reliability exposure emerges only inside the contract’s clause-level design.

1) BPCL Mahul–Rasayani HDD tender pushed to December after ten bid extensions
8BPCL’s HDD tender for the Mahul–Rasayani pipeline has slid from an early July bid date to a 01 December 2025 close after ten incremental extensions. The scope, BQC and cash-security terms have been left untouched even as the calendar has stretched by roughly five months. Why the promoter chose to trade time rather than soften entry barriers is where the story begins for HDD contractors and project planners.
 
2) DCS bid timeline for BPCL Bina petchem extended by 98 days
8BPCL BPREP BPCL’s high-I/O DCS package for the Bina petchem expansion has seen seven bid-date extensions, pulling the submission window deep into November. The prolonged shift suggests a tight supplier pool navigating heavy qualification and zero-deviation conditions. How this delay shapes downstream engineering and bidder competitiveness becomes the critical question.
 
3) BPCL tower-internals tender sees three bid-date extensions under BPREP
8The proprietary tower-internals tender for BPCL’s BPREP project has now been extended three times, pushing the deadline by over a month. The extensions suggest persistent bidder-side preparation challenges despite the limited bidding structure. What this means for procurement pacing and schedule risk sits behind the paywall.
 
4) GGL extends Sanchore LNG regasification tender deadline to 20 November
8GGL has pushed the bid submission date for the Sanchore LNG facility twice, taking the final deadline to 20 November. The move signals either heavy documentation requirements or limited early participation. How the extension influences technical compliance and bidder turnout sits behind the paywall.
 
5) BPCL tightens API-612 and electrical integration obligations in NHGU–SRU turbine package
8BPCL Mumbai Refinery BPCL has rejected nearly all bidder deviations in the high-stakes NHGU–SRU turbine retrofit. The pre-bid clarifications tighten API-612, electrical integration, MCC interface, and protection-logic requirements. What this means for vendor pricing, risk allocation, and technical feasibility is now clear only behind the paywall.
 
6) BPCL refinery multi-unit services packages see twin bid extensions to late November
8BPCL has pushed back the bid submission deadline twice on a five-package refinery services cluster bundled on GeM. The extensions carry all units from an original November timeline to a common closing on 25-11-2025. Behind that apparently simple date change sit questions about bidder bandwidth, project clustering, and how far the buyer is willing to bend on process without touching core contract risk.
 
7) Revised SCC-technical brings manpower penalties and tighter payment terms for EHT in RCO and bitumen rundown header in Gujarat refinery.
8Indian Oil Corporation has quietly re-written the fine print of its EHT contract at Gujarat Refinery, without touching the technical scope. The revised SCC-Technical now hard-codes penalties for missing site-in-charge and supervisors, and staggers supply-line payments around commissioning and PGTR. How these clauses play out on manpower deployment and vendor cashflow will determine whether this corrigendum becomes a template for IOCL’s future reliability jobs.

1) ONGC Hazira ARC corrigendum pushes customs duty to 18% and stretches bid security window for valve servicing and fabrication contract
8ONGC’s Hazira ARC looked like a conventional three-year pipe and valve maintenance contract until the latest corrigendum rewrote its fiscal and bid-security assumptions.
8List-33 imports now carry 18% IGST and bid guarantees must stay live 45 days beyond bid validity, forcing contractors to rethink pricing and banking limits.
8How bidders rebalance foreign content, working capital and risk appetite under these new rules will decide who stays in the race.
 
2) OIL’s well servicing corrigendum trades extra CT maintenance headroom for a hard line on penalties and force majeure
8Oil india’s latest corrigenda quietly reshape the economics of its four-year coiled tubing and nitrogen package without touching the headline scope.
8Maintenance and operating-charge tweaks look friendly on paper, but the penalty spine and force majeure economics remain stubbornly intact.
8Whether bidders see this as a workable compromise or a one-sided risk transfer will only become clear when the technical bids open.
 
3) ONGC bolts a stricter PoA and EMD-exemption regime onto its Aframax tanker charter
8ONGC’s first corrigendum on its Aframax tanker hire never touches the hull or the SBM, but rewrites who can sign the bid and who can skip EMD.
8A granular power of attorney rulebook and a re-framed exemption clause now sit between tanker owners and a Rs 84.50 lakh security demand.
8How comfortably the marine market lives with this heavier governance layer will show up in who actually turns up to bid.
 
4) Second date extension and consortium U-turn reshape ONGC’s Rajahmundry LTSOBM mud-plant hire
8ONGC has quietly turned a routine LTSOBM hire into a four-month-delayed, consortium-friendly HPHT services test for Rajahmundry.
8Behind the fresh 01 December bid deadline sit tougher labour and inventory obligations, new financial evidence rules and a partial pull-back of environmental risk.
8Whether serious mud-engineering players see this as an opportunity or an over-engineered gauntlet will only become clear when the December bids open.
 
5) Oil India’s Rajasthan cementing-BHP tender buys 77 more days of bid time without loosening the technical screws.
8Oil India has quietly pushed its Rajasthan cementing and BHP tender closing from mid-September to 28 November 2025, stretching the bidding horizon by 77 days.
8The scope and securities stay just as demanding, but bidders now face a much longer period of price and EMD exposure on a high-temperature CSS job.
8Whether this extra time widens the field or merely prolongs a tight race is what the market will be watching.

8ONGC’s latest 1000 HP mobile-rig tender for Ahmedabad and Mehsana has quietly slid from an August to a December bid closing, even as customs duty on key imports jumps to 18%.
8Behind the new 01 December 2025 deadline sit stricter OEM-only BOP rules, SWMS labour tracking and day-rate caps that refuse to budge, despite sustained bidder pushback.
8The real contest now is whether enough serious drillers will still price in four high-spec rigs under this risk-heavy template — or whether ONGC will discover the limits of its new rig-hiring philosophy.

8Oil India’s Agartala CBG tender has quietly changed more on paper than on process.
8A chain of eight corrigenda now defines who can bid, how long they must support spares, and how long Rs 2.16 crore of EMD stays locked.
8The plant design stays ambitious at 160 TPD, but the real test is whether this new balance of risk and obligation brings enough serious EPCOM players to the line.
Click on Details for more Details
8ONGC’s first corrigendum on its three-year MUV charter barely touches the vessel but rewrites the rules around who can sign, how long securities must run, and how force majeure works.
8EMD-exempt bidders gain liquidity relief on paper but now face a two-year ban threat under a new bid securing declaration regime.
8How marine operators price these tighter governance and risk settings will decide whether this charter stays competitive or narrows to only the most compliant and well-banked players.

1) Two offshore specialists clear ONGC western offshore crane O&M as consumables-heavy clarifications narrow the participating bidder field.
8ONGC’s western offshore crane O&M tender has moved past the initial filters with just two qualified bidders standing and one disqualified.
8Behind that simple line-up sits a dense web of clarifications on mobilisation, consumables and logistics that ONGC has largely refused to soften.
8The real question now is how Oil States and Spectrum will price and execute a contract where much of the operational risk is locked in, but some of the largest liabilities are still to be negotiated post-award.
 
2) Eleven local transporters crowd into ONGC Assam Asset crude tanker hire
8ONGC Assam Asset’s crude tanker tender has drawn eleven bidders, from individual operators to small enterprises, vying for a three-year foothold.
8While the participant list looks competitive, the only visible clarification is a tax-side corrigendum that lifts concessional duty and GST references to 18% and pushes compliance risk firmly onto contractors.
8The unresolved question is how many of these bidders can price and execute under a framework where ONGC keeps the work flexible but the financial and regulatory exposures largely non-negotiable.
 
3) Two specialist bidders line up for ONGC Cambay Asset’s mobile pumping unit hire
8ONGC Cambay Asset’s nine-month MPU hire has drawn a focused two-bidder field in Deval Energy Resources and Suresh Oilfield Units and Maintenance Co.
8The tender’s bid-stage rules make it clear that post-participation clarifications can tidy documents but cannot soften experience thresholds, ownership proofs or statutory obligations.
8What remains to be seen is which bidder can walk that narrow compliance line without losing pricing headroom on a technically demanding effluent disposal job.
 
4) Oil India’s well servicing ARC amendment resets EMD slab and extends GeM bid timeline to 2 December 2025 for Assam & Arunachal
8Oil India has quietly redrawn the financial entry ticket for its flagship well servicing ARC in Assam and Arunachal.
8A new EMD slab now distinguishes between two-set and three-set bidders, and the bid window has been pushed out by 15 days.
8Behind those simple changes lies a deliberate reshaping of who can realistically compete for four years of CTU/NPU/FPU work.
 
5) ONGC stretches bid-security buffers and tightens PoA and BSD rules in Hazira fabrication and valve-servicing ARC corrigenda
8ONGC’s Hazira ARC corrigenda do not change the work, they change the rules of engagement.
8Bid-security instruments now run longer, exempt bidders must sign up to a two-year ban risk, and only perfectly documented PoA and BEC trails will make the cut.
8The real question is how many serious fabrication and valve-service contractors are ready to live with that level of front-loaded discipline.

1) Jyotsna Enterprises wins BPCL MR catalyst-replacement job for NHGU R302A
8BPCL has finalised its bidder for the third-bed catalyst replacement in the NHGU reactor at Mumbai Refinery. The L1 value sits well below the verification threshold, shaping an unusually lean award structure. The spread across L1–L4 signals competitive pricing pressure around shutdown-critical services.

1) GAIL filters bidder field sharply in PMC tender for Bengaluru CBG plant
8GAIL’s technical-bid scrutiny for the 12.6 TPD CBG plant in Bengaluru left only two of four bidders in contention. High TPD-based experience thresholds and strict document authentication shaped the qualification outcome. The deeper implications emerge only when the clause-level structure is mapped against GAIL’s tightening procurement discipline.
 
2) MRPL aromatic complex shortlists five bidders for instrumentation services contract
8MRPL has advanced its two-year instrumentation services tender with five bidders clearing technical evaluation. The contract’s structure places significant cost-absorption and mobilisation responsibilities on the contractor while retaining SOR-based measurability for installation work. Commercial stakes now shift to the financial bid stage, where floor-price controls and labour-risk allocation will shape competitiveness

1) BPCL Kochi refinery issues three-year rate contract tender for heat exchanger jobs in zone-2
8BPCL has opened a three-year mechanical maintenance tender for exchanger works across high-pressure and multi-metallurgy equipment in Zone-2. The scope brings welding, testing, blasting, seal-welds, and full overhauling under one consolidated rate contract. The implications for vendor capability, pricing discipline, and reliability standards sit behind the paywall.
 
2) BPCL invites two-part bids for full-scope VDU heater revamp with metallurgy upgrade and modularized execution at Mumbai Refinery
8VDU Heater Revamp tender BPCL’s latest heater-revamp tender introduces a complete redesign of radiant supports, coil additions, and structural modifications. The shutdown-compressed execution model demands modular fabrication and extensive QA/QC staffing. How these requirements shift cost, risk, and bidder eligibility becomes central to understanding this package.
 
3) MRPL’s JNPA ATF-storage tender sets high technical bar with NMIA pipeline mandate
8MRPL’s new ATF terminal tender at JNPA introduces unusually strict aviation-grade requirements. The document embeds mandatory pipeline linkage to the upcoming NMIA system, shifting interface risk onto the contractor. Several clauses raise the compliance threshold in ways not typically seen in tank-hiring tenders.

1) BPCL revises key clauses and removes all securities in Project Indus due diligence tender
8BPCL’s latest corrigendum for Project Indus reshapes both the technical and commercial architecture of the due-diligence tender. Expanded land-risk language and solar-plus-wind scope shift expectations for consultants. But the complete withdrawal of EMD, SD, LD and PBG raises sharper questions about BPCL’s evolving procurement posture.
 
2) BPCL BPREP centrifugal compressor tender sees six extensions to mid-November
8BPCL’s hydrogen-service centrifugal compressor package has undergone an unusually long chain of bid-deadline extensions. The delays highlight the burden of API-617 PQC and multi-OEM documentation cycles. What this means for competition and ordering timelines sits behind the paywall.
 
3) GGL pushes solar EPC bid deadline five times amid bidder hesitation —12 MW captive project.
8GGL’s 12 MW captive solar tender has undergone five deadline extensions, signalling deeper concerns among EPC bidders. The unchanged PQC, 66 kV evacuation requirement, and land-on-lease model appear to have constrained participation. The extensions provide time, but not structural relief.
 
4) BPCL updates IEM panel for PRFCCU pipeline rerouting tender in Mumbai
8BPCL has issued a governance-layer correction to its PRFCCU pipeline rerouting tender by updating the list of Independent External Monitors. No technical or commercial clauses have been altered, leaving the core scope and risk structure fully intact. The pre-bid record confirms firm adherence to BQC, PBG and TPI requirements. Corrigendum-1 contains no technical deltas despite a very large inch-dia workload. Bidders must therefore interpret SOR items as originally published. The lack of revision indicates BPCL’s confidence in the issued engineering package.
 
5) IOCL extends bid deadline for EC & CRZ reimbursement tender at Hope Town
8A short 10-day extension has been issued for the single-tender involving EC and CRZ reimbursement linked to the Hope Town gas infrastructure plan. The move signals IOCL’s preference for procedural completeness despite the absence of competition. Why the extension matters for the Island project’s regulatory timeline remains behind the paywall

8Bidders for ONGC’s Panna–Tapti integrated O&M contract have won more time, but not more room on risk.
8Pre-bid replies confirm that shutdown compensation, chemical exposure and KPI stakes will remain firmly on the contractor’s books, even as new project loads loom.
8The question now is which players are confident enough in their data and balance sheet to sign up on those terms.

8BPCL and EIL have locked nearly all licensor deviations while selectively expanding vendor choice for the TEAL system. The pre-bid responses signal a strict, data-centric approach to BEDP accuracy, utility design pressures, and downstream integration. But the rigid stance also reshapes risk distribution, pushing licensors into firmer commitments earlier in the cycle.

8ONGC has handed Offshore Marinetech a Rs 14.84 crore ticket into the heart of its HPHT DDW1–PLQP integrity work, but the real power lies in the fine print.
8A blanket ban on sub-contracting, new mobilisation-deferment rights and milestone-loaded payment terms quietly redraw who carries readiness, liquidity and compliance risk offshore.
8Whether this becomes the standard template for ONGC’s future HPHT O&M tenders—or remains a high-stakes experiment—will depend on how this contract performs under real-world pressure.

8Vendors must submit a best-performing catalyst formulation and undergo multi-stage R&D evaluation cycles.
8The commercial tender will be restricted to those who clear this technically demanding process.
Click on Details for more Details
8HPCL’s Lube Modernization and Bottoms Upgradation project has quietly turned its vertical SPP pump package into a test case for hard-wired energy guarantees. The tender forces bidders to file a separate, price-sensitive bid just for guaranteed shaft power, with life-cycle loading and penalties tied directly to those numbers. How that two-ID structure plays out in practice will determine whether this becomes a one-off experiment or a new template for critical rotating equipment.

1) ONGC Cambay civil ARC loads quality policing and high experience bar onto a three-year workover rig support contract
8ONGC’s new Cambay civil ARC looks like a routine enabling contract until you read how the experience bar, LD and third-party inspection fit together.
8Behind the three-year workover-support scope sits a 3% performance security, a year-long defect liability tail and a ban on sub-contracting that quietly narrows the field.
8Whether civil players price this as a stable multi-site service business or a high-risk, high-compliance trap is what this tender will ultimately reveal.
 
2) ONGC hard-wires OEM-backed, OISD-189 compliant fire protection into its onshore drilling and workover rigs through a GeM-routed multi-asset tender
8ONGC is not just buying pumps and pipes; it is buying an entire mobile fire-protection architecture that must travel with each rig and perform on command.
8The tender forces firefighting OEMs to guarantee 10 years of spares, service and AMC readiness while subjecting their past performance to TPIA scrutiny.
8How the market prices this blend of strict safety performance, industrial-policy content rules and reverse-auction pressure is where the real story begins.
 
3) ONGC Assam tests dual-mode Caterpillar–BHEL rig sets as synchronous condensers through an exploratory engine–alternator retrofit EOI.
8ONGC Assam Asset is asking an unusual question of its rig power trains: can a conventional Caterpillar–BHEL engine–alternator set be turned into a part-time synchronous condenser.
8The EOI puts air-cooled clutches, flexible couplings and advanced control schemes on the table, but leaves all commercial cards face down.
8How vendors respond to this mix of mechanical retrofits, digital control and long-term support expectations will decide whether the idea stays a concept note or becomes a pilot rig.
 
4) SR Engineers wins Rs 3.42 crore online leak sealing ARC
8The real story sits in the fine print.
8Behind the award is a web of IS/OISD-anchored technical requirements that quietly reshape who can even enter the race.
8Whether this becomes a model for how ONGC buys high-risk services under stricter policy compliance will depend on how the contract performs in the field.
 
5) Krishna Antioxidants captures Kathana PPD board-purchase as ONGC Cambay trades higher lab governance for a softer 3% bond
8ONGC Cambay has quietly locked Kathana’s pour-point risk into a single L1 supplier, but the real story sits in the fine print.
8A pre-screened three-manufacturer pool, lot-wise LD and lab-driven acceptance give the chemist more power than the price committee.
8Whether the winner has won a one-off contract or the inside track on Kathana’s flow-assurance future will only be clear from the next round of tenders.
