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.
8Behind that sits a dense SOW of Petrel-ready deliverables, tight timelines, and fortnightly QC that the contract never relaxes. Click on Details for moreDetails
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.

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

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. Click on Details for moreDetails
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.
