8The heavy-wall vessel package has now undergone four deadline shifts, stretching the bid window by two full months. Fabricators appear to be recalibrating feasibility around plate availability, forming limits and ODC transport. The extensions reveal tightening market capacity.

1) Offshore well testing NIT packs digital data demands and high-spec safety kit into tough commercial frame Oil India KG DSF-II Andaman
8Oil India’s new offshore well testing tender for KG DSF-II and Andaman blocks reads more like a full-field evaluation charter than a simple spread rental.
8SSTT redundancy, sour-service ratings to 10,000 psi, WITSML real-time data and strict ESD integration all sit alongside a near Rs 1 crore EMD and a 5% ePBG.
8How bidders price and qualify these obligations will decide whether this becomes Oil India’s new template or a one-off high-bar experiment.
 
2) Participated bidders push ONGC drill pipe spinner tender towards broader OEM eligibility but tighter long-tail guarantees
8Four international bidders have stepped into ONGC’s drill pipe spinner tender just as the company rewrites key clauses on delivery, guarantees and qualification.
8Some clarifications clearly favour contractor logistics and wider eligibility, while others quietly lock in longer-tail performance security for ONGC.
8The still-opaque reply on multi-lot shipments and LC payment will decide how far the risk needle really moved after participation.
 
3) Six domestic crane houses vie for 10T EOT package under tight PPP-MII and cash-flow terms in ONGC
8Six Indian crane and fabrication players have lined up for ONGC’s 10T EOT crane job at Nhava, but the paper trail of their clarifications is missing.
8A 100% local-content bar, long-tail performance security and gantry frame design liability all remain on the table as originally drafted.
8The real question now is whether ONGC has quietly softened any of these edges behind closed doors — or intends this template to stand untouched.
 
4) Bid submission for Aframax tanker SBM charter extended to 02 December 2025 in ONGC Mumbai High crude logistics
8ONGC has quietly given tanker owners an extra week to line up RoFR-compliant Aframax tonnage for its Mumbai High SBM charter.
8The technical bar and DG Shipping age norms remain untouched, but the window for TPIA-backed documentation and pricing has shifted.
8Whether this seven-day reprieve broadens competition or merely formalises existing interest will be visible only at techno-commercial opening.
 
5) Bid closing for fishbones drilling system in Baghewala extended by seven days to 02 December 2025 in Oil India Baghewala PML
8Oil India has given bidders an extra week to price and structure a highly specialised fishbones drilling package for five Baghewala horizontal wells.
8The extension leaves a tough EMD/ePBG regime and dense technical responsibilities untouched, making time the only relaxation on offer.
8Whether that is enough to deepen competition without slipping the project’s heavy-oil timetable is the question the full note explores.
 
6) ONGC CPD Mumbai whipstock tender hardens GCC and documentation rules even as pre-bid replies are followed by a surprise bid-date extension.
8ONGC’s whipstock tender pre-bid meeting shuts the door on GCC/BEC negotiations but opens up a long list of promised written clarifications.
8Bidders are warned that one mis-step on e-BG or TPIA could cost them a three-year offshore service contract.
8Yet the later extension of the bid closing date hints that schedule rigidity may give way when operational realities bite.

8Techno-economic clauses are modified and they change how catalyst, co-catalyst and adsorbent costs will be modelled across operating cycles.
8Design pressures for critical steam and boiler-feed utilities have also been upgraded, tightening licensor design obligations.
8Training load, hydrogen purity tables and BEDP deliverable definitions have been simultaneously clarified, signalling a sharper evaluation framework.

8The unusual extension chain comes without any relaxation in scope, responsibilities or qualification norms. Contractors now need to reconcile stringent VRU capacity rules with a compressed delivery window.
Click on Details for more Details
8Three successive amendments have bought bidders seventy extra days without yielding any relaxation on the Rs 8 crore bid security, 3% performance security or four-year term.
8Whether this is tactical schedule management or a sign of thin early interest will only become clear once the bids finally open.

8IOCL’s new maintenance tender for TPS boilers and HRSGs raises the reliability bar with strict one-year no-failure conditions. The scope bundles high-pressure valve work, APH balancing, and burner revisioning into a round-the-clock execution model. Contractors face tighter safety, IBR, and mobilization requirements that reshape the risk profile of routine shutdown work.

8The multi-utility vessel charter quietly rewires both pricing mechanics and operational risk.
8Mobilisation, demobilisation and ancillary charges are now hemmed in by hard caps and a new “limiting of charges” undertaking, while a quantified penalty looms over any platform contact.
8What this does to bidder behaviour, margins and fleet choices will only be visible once the commercial bids are locked in.

1) ONGC stretches onshore wireline logging tender to 9 December as remobilisation, packer and deep-well clauses are quietly rewritten
8ONGC has quietly pushed its limited onshore wireline logging tender to 9 December while sprinkling in a dense set of SCC, SOW and price-format tweaks.
8The headline dates move looks benign, but underneath it, remobilisation windows, packer responsibilities, SEZ mobilization caps and deep-well obligations all shift in ways that change bidder risk.
8Contractors now have four more weeks to decide whether this revised balance of operational duty and tax exposure is still worth chasing.
 
2) ONGC pushes offshore wireline and intervention tender to 9 December
8ONGC’s offshore wireline and well intervention tender ZV5GL25004 has been nudged from an 11 November close to a 9 December finish, but the office note still calls it a “two-week” extension.
8Behind that mislabelled delay sit new rules on CIS, remobilisation windows, sample disposal and MRCS pricing that subtly move the risk dial.
8Contractors now have four more weeks to decide whether the amended offshore playbook is tight but workable, or just too loaded with tax, logistics and CIS exposure to touch.
 
3) ONGC western offshore WBDF tender pushes technical bid opening to 6 January 2026 as high-bar BEC meets long-form extension
8ONGC has quietly moved the technical bid opening for its western offshore WBDF mega-tender from 9 October 2025 to 6 January 2026.
8The shift stretches the timeline by nearly three months in a contract that already demands ONGC-lab-tested formulations, TPIA-verified experience and heavy financial muscle.
8What that does to the bidder pool, pricing power and the drilling calendar will only become visible once the sealed bids are finally opened.
 
4) ONGC stretches HPHT wireline logging tender by 84 days without touching risk-heavy HPHT scope.
8ONGC has now pushed its flagship HPHT wireline logging tender ZV5GC25002 out to a 09 December 2025 submission, 10 December opening, via two separate extensions.
8The technical matrix still demands 300–500°F HPHT tools, advanced imaging and multi-day post-processing, with contractors carrying fishing, spares and turnaround risk.
8The only real movement is on time and a cross-tender financial certificate, leaving bidders to decide whether the longer runway is enough to justify full-fleet HPHT mobilisation.

1) ONGC frontiers three-year call-out environment monitoring for departmental rigs loads long-tail risk onto labs
8ONGC has quietly bundled all key environment checks for its departmental rigs E-2000-VIII and E-2000-VI into a single three-year GeM service contract.
8Behind the familiar CPCB/MoEFCC labels sits an at-will termination clause, a 38-month performance guarantee and a reverse auction that will test how far environmental labs will stretch for frontier-basin work.
8How contractors price that cocktail of multi-state mobilisation, undefined job volumes and tight cash-flow lock-up will decide who gets to hold ONGC’s monitoring clipboard at the rig site.
 
2) Ten technically-cleared bidders chase ONGC’s LP gas compression O&M at Rajahmundr
8ONGC’s GeM O&M tender for LP gas compression at Tatipaka and Mandapeta has drawn a crowded field of 12 bidders, with 10 making the technical cut.
8Compressor OEMs, O&M specialists and regional service houses now have to price a three-year, 24×7 availability mandate under a sharper MSE policy, a defined manpower-based floor price and a higher 18% concessional IGST/GST regime.
8How those clarifications translate into margin, risk and final award spreads is where the real story now lies.
 
3) ONGC tightens bid security and governance but upgrades force majeure in integrated SJS and SHD services corrigendum and date-extended tender
8ONGC’s multi-basin integrated SJS and SHD tender has quietly changed shape through a dense corrigendum that rewrites force majeure and hardens bid security.
8The documents now stretch bank and insurance instruments, add anti-cartel language and still refuse to relax the five-year experience gate, even as GeM pushes the bid end to 02 December 2025.
8Whether that mix favours a small club of proven seismic contractors or opens room for disciplined challengers will be decided only in the reverse auction.
 
4) ONGC pushes TCP-DST and specialised services tender bid deadline but leaves the tough SCC framework unchanged.
8ONGC has quietly granted bidders more time on its flagship TCP-DST and specialised services tender, stretching the submission window to 09 December 2025.
8The move comes after a dense corrigendum cycle and a wave of bidder queries on risk-heavy conditions, but without any visible softening of the underlying SCC or BEC.
8Whether this becomes an opportunity for sharper, more competitive pricing or a mere breathing space before a thin contest will only be known once the bids open on 10 December.

8ONGC has closed its three-year tender for covering pipeline exposures at Hazira and Uran–Trombay with Yojaka India Private Limited in the L1 seat at Rs 7.97 crore.
8The award hands one contractor full responsibility for gabion-heavy protection, river-crossing covers and sacrificial bunds around operating high-pressure pipelines, with ONGC supplying no material.
8How that price holds against tides, monsoons, access risks and inspection-heavy obligations will decide whether this becomes a template or a cautionary tale.

1) BPCL finalises survey contract for Kandla refrigerated LPG terminal pipelines after wide L1–L6 price divergence
8BPCL has closed the GeM tender for its Kandla LPG import terminal pipeline surveys with an unusually wide spread between L1 and the rest of the field.
 
2) BPCL awards BDT O&M contract after tight compliance screening
8BPCL has finalised the five-year BDT O&M contract after a closely watched bid cycle marked by stringent scope enforcement. Most bidder requests for operational relaxations were rejected, signalling a high-control operating framework. The awarded spread reveals a sharply tiered risk-pricing pattern.
 
3) Amspec wins HRRL’s Mangala–Barmer crude surveying contract after steep bidder divergence
8HRRL has finalised the custody-transfer surveying contract for its Mangala-to-Barmer crude pipeline on a single-vendor basis after a sharp split in bids. Amspec’s quote came in dramatically lower than its global competitors, making the usual 70:30 dual-award model unworkable. The award locks in two years of high-frequency operational oversight at MPT, RT and HRRL tanks under one agency.

1) IOCL Haldia issues two-year OEM expert services tender for PSA systems
8IOCL Haldia has released a new tender seeking OEM-backed expert support for its PSA systems across hydrogen and reforming units. The two-year contract comes with zero EMD but tight compliance declarations. The real scrutiny lies in how the OEM-specific structure shapes risk, scope and delivery expectations.
 
2) HPRGE consolidates Solar+BESS feasibility and PMC oversight across 20+ HPCL sites
8HPRGE has rolled out a unified tender that pushes site-level measurement accuracy, petroleum-sector safety compliance, and conceptual engineering discipline into the earliest phase of project design. Consultants must manage feasibility, tender preparation, EPC evaluation, and multi-contractor PMC under a single accountability framework. The structure signals a shift toward centralised renewable procurement architecture that could set precedents for HPCL’s future energy transition projects.
 
3) FCC spent catalyst disposal tender tightens hazardous-waste compliance
8IOCL Paradip Refinery has issued a two-bid GeM tender that sharply narrows the field for hazardous-waste processors. The clauses place heavy emphasis on current CTO, Authorization, and inter-state movement approvals. The full document signals a compliance-first model with commercial tension pushed into the RA stage.

1) IOCL Barauni UPS tender sees four extensions as EIL locks MR-tight compliance
8Repeated date pushes signal bidder difficulty aligning with EIL’s rigid UPS specifications. Corrigendums reinforce that RFQ terms override GeM norms, tightening control over scope, CPBG, and interface obligations. The final extension to 27 November sets a hard stop for a technically non-negotiable package.
 
2) HPCL extends expediting-services tender by four days amid documentation-heavy submissions
8HPCL has pushed the bid deadline for its expediting-services rate contract from 24 November to 28 November. The four-day extension comes in a tender that demands heavy notarised proof of nationwide expediting capability. The shift signals bidder-readiness concerns but leaves all technical and commercial clauses untouched.
 
3) HRRL extends AMPL crude pipeline O&M bid deadline to 29 November
8HRRL has pushed the AMPL crude-pipeline O&M tender by five days, signalling bidder-side pressure in a manpower-heavy package with fixed floor prices. The scope covers 24×7 operations, mechanical maintenance and housekeeping across 11 Gujarat stations, making statutory-cost accuracy critical. The extension hints at participation-related friction rather than any shift in technical or commercial terms.
 
4) BPCL extends bid deadline for AP Project EPDDMS tender amid technical alignment needs
8The companyl has pushed the submission date for its AP Project EPDDMS tender to 02 December. The move follows a tightly packed original schedule that offered limited space for multi-OEM coordination. The extension opens the field for more compliant, technically stronger proposals.

8ONGC is bundling MODU-1989 compliance, ABS approvals and offshore duct re-engineering for four jack-ups into a single HVAC safety upgrade package.
8Behind the GeM shell sits a turnkey clause that pushes design, dimensional variation and survey risk squarely onto the contractor, while ONGC limits its role to offshore logistics and rig support.
8How bidders price that mix of statutory pressure, retrofit complexity and legal ambiguity will determine whether this becomes the template for ONGC’s wider jack-up safety programme.

1) GAIL Maharashtra region O&M ARC tightens compliance and digital control across three pipeline clusters
8GAIL’s new Maharashtra O&M ARC pushes the contractor into a fully digital, tightly governed operating regime. The scope stretches from 24×7 terminal coverage to GPS-based resource tracking across a widely dispersed pipeline network. The commercial model sharpens risk transfer by freezing service charges while expanding statutory and operational obligations.
 
2) GAIL’s Maharashtra pipeline network seeks multi-disciplinary engineering consultants for high-stakes O&M modification and integrity jobs
8GAIL has opened a complex engineering consultancy tender spanning modification, HDD, exposure mitigation, and integrity work across 821 km of pipelines. The scope embeds heavy risk on specification accuracy, documentation timelines, and multi-standard compliance. The structure signals a tougher regime for engineering accountability in Maharashtra.

1) Integrum wins GAIL’s 170 MW Maharashtra wind EPC award after wide multi-bid spread
8GAIL has finalised Integrum Energy as L1 for its 170 MW captive wind project after a sharply divergent financial contest. The tender closed with the widest L1–L3 spread seen in recent PSU wind procurements, reflecting fundamentally different cost assumptions among bidders. Key contractual obligations now shift to execution, NIWE-validated AEP compliance, and multi-site land readiness.
 
2) Kalinga Insulation wins CPP shutdown package at IOCL Paradip Refinery
8IOCL has finalised the shutdown insulation and IBR/CIBI package for its Paradip CPP after a two-horse financial round. The price gap between L1 and L2 remained a moderate 3.6%, pointing to a stable contractor landscape. The full implications for cost control and shutdown reliability emerge only when the clause-level picture is examined.

8A six-way technically qualified field narrowed to an aggressive L1 that undercut the top quote by over 70 percent. IOCL’s insistence on strict PQC and an 18-month performance guarantee shaped both participation and pricing behaviour. The award underscores the growing divide between boutique engineering firms and large EPCM houses in refinery consultancy bids.

1) NRL tightens commissioning-manpower regime as technical bids open for PRU–GDS instrumentation package
8NRL’s EPCM-1 instrumentation tender has moved into its evaluation phase with four established bidders in the fray. A series of addenda have reshaped manpower, supervision and qualification rules far more deeply than usual for a mid-cycle tender. The implications now sit squarely in how commissioning reliability and bidder pricing discipline will be judged.
 
2) NRL tightens qualification filters as four bidders clear technical opening for GDS instrumentation package
8NRL’s GDS instrumentation tender moved into the technical-opening stage with four bidders in the race after a late-cycle date extension. Commercial clarifications tightened eligibility, particularly around similar-works definitions and documentation formats. The payoff now hinges on whether strict BQC enforcement reshapes the pricing curve at the financial-bid stage.
 
3) NRL’s coalescer package sees two-bid technical opening after five date extensions — NREP
8NRL’s regeneration loop coalescer package attracted just two bidders despite multiple extensions. The technical opening follows significant scope clarifications and a tightened TPIA framework. The full impact of bidder-driven P&ID and instrumentation obligations will emerge only after compliance scrutiny.

1) Three bidders make it to technical evaluation in IGGL’s pipeline-EIA tender
8IGGL has admitted all three submissions in its tender for multi-corridor pipeline EIA and risk studies. No bidder was screened out at the opening stage, keeping competition intact for a non-splittable package. The decisive test will now be whether all three clear the stringent NABET and past-experience thresholds.
 
2) Six survey firms clear BPCL’s technical gate for Kandla LPG pipeline study
8BPCL’s bid for full-spectrum route, seismic, soil and cadastral surveying for the Kandla refrigerated LPG terminal has narrowed to six technically qualified bidders. The package carries atypically high technical intensity but unusually low financial securities. The evaluation now moves to commercial scrutiny under the two-packet GeM framework.
 
3) Five bidders enter GAIL’s HVJ cathodic-protection survey tender
8GAIL’s latest HVJ integrity-survey tender has drawn five bidders with varying corrosion-survey credentials. The two-group structure and strict notarised BEC rules will shape who clears the technical gate. Award sequencing may further narrow the field before commercial competition begins.

1) Dhillon Engineering undercuts rivals by over 32 percent for ABWA communication O&M contract
8A three-year ABWA communication maintenance job at ONGC’s Ahmedabad Asset has gone to Dhillon Engineering Works on a sharply lower L1 quote.
8The winning price sits more than 32 percent below the next bidder even as ONGC keeps a 5 percent performance security and no minimum work guarantee.
8Whether that combination delivers cheap reliability or deferred risk is the question vendors and field managers will be watching next.
 
2) ONGC tanker charter corrigendum drops fuel-efficiency tie-break and elevates MSE and turnover hierarchy in Aframax L1 awards.
8ONGC has quietly rewritten the rule that decides who wins its Aframax tanker charter when prices are tied.
8The latest corrigendum scraps a fuel-efficiency-based tie-break and replaces it with a hierarchy favouring MSEs and high-turnover bidders.
8What that does to bidder strategy, fleet selection and charter margins will only become visible once the techno-commercial bids land.
 
3) Oil India Rajasthan–Gujarat 1000 HP rig charter corrigendum drops skidding package, eases mast and drill-collar specs and tidies GeM security mechanics.
8Oil India has quietly stripped out skidding and flexible rig layout obligations from its Rajasthan–Gujarat 1000 HP mobile rig charter while relaxing key mast and drill-collar dimensions.
8At the same time, a GeM corrigendum locks in integrity pact compliance and clarifies digital routes for EMD and performance security without touching the headline security levels.
8How these changes reshape the bidder pool, pad-drilling strategy and effective competition will only be visible once the techno-commercial bids are on the table.
 
4) Prabha Energy pushes NK CBM workover rig bid deadline to 28 November 2025 without easing tough rig and qualification terms.
8Prabha Energy has quietly given bidders seven extra days to price and paper their NK CBM workover rig offers.
8The extension does nothing to dilute a demanding SOW, strict workover experience criteria and firm-price, rupee-only commercial terms.
8The real story now is whether the extra week broadens the bidder bench or simply compresses the path from bid opening to an April 2026 rig start.

1) Strict destination testing and vendor-banning triggers sharpen risk profile on MBA Basin biocide
8ONGC MBA Basin is seeking just 4000 kg of bactericide, but the tender reads more like a quality-control playbook than a routine chemical buy.
8Six-sample destination testing, twin-lab validation and explicit banning triggers turn every lot into a high-stakes shipment for suppliers.
8How bidders price a zero-EMD, single-lot supply under this regime will reveal who is truly comfortable with ONGC’s corporate spec and lab-driven acceptance.
 
2) Single qualified bidder left standing as ONGC Hazira–Uran-Trombay pipeline exposure contract
8ONGC’s three-year Hazira–Uran-Trombay pipeline exposure contract has already cut two of three bidders at the technical gate, leaving just one contender in play.
8Behind the scenes sits a dense mix of gabion-and-geotextile civil works, EN-class coating repairs and live sour-gas operations where shutdowns are off the table.
8What ONGC said—or refused to say—in bidder clarifications could decide whether this becomes a new template for integrity outsourcing or a cautionary one-off.
 
3) Pre-bid replies lock in tax and customs risk for wireline and TCP-DST vendors even as ONGC extends bid timing
8ONGC has quietly extended the bid clock on its flagship wireline logging and TCP-DST tender while refusing to soften its stance on GST and customs risk.
8The pre-bid replies show bidders probing the edges of duty exemptions, GST slabs and Make in India policy — and getting only a narrow set of concessions in return.
8How vendors now price explosives, LIH exposure and tax volatility into their offers will decide whether this becomes a high-stakes benchmark or a cautionary tale for future logging tenders.
 
4) Aggressive L1 undercut delivers low-cost four-year manpower deal for operation and maintenance at PS4 Sekoni of OIL
8Oil India has closed its PS4 Sekoni support-services tender with a winning bid that sits more than 32% below the nearest competitor.
8Behind that headline lies a four-year, fixed-rate contract where the contractor must absorb all future wage and statutory cost escalations while keeping pump-station operations seamless.
8Whether this sharp pricing becomes a new benchmark or a stress test for contractor resilience will only become clear as the contract runs its course.

2) IOCL extends EHT tender after major design-temperature correction
8IOCL has pushed the EHT tender deadline to 29 November after issuing a material correction to the design exposure temperature.

4) IOCL-BGR extends flare-gas power EOI deadline to 11 December
8IOCL-BGR has issued a date-only extension for its flare-gas-based power-generation EOI. The change pushes all sale, submission, and opening activities to 11 December while keeping every technical and commercial clause intact.

5) BPCL extends Ennore OWS–ETP revamp bid to 24 November after muted first response
8BPCL’s Ennore terminal has pushed the OWS–ETP revamp deadline by three days, signalling a need for additional bidder readiness. The extension is minor but intersects with a scope that requires mandatory site visits and OEM-backed component commitments. The full competitive impact now hinges on how many vendors can mobilise within the revised window.
 
6) EIL extends BIO-ATF pump tender deadline to 26 November in MRPL project
8EIL has pushed the bid deadline for the BIO-ATF pump package to 26 November, marking the first schedule shift in the procurement cycle.
