From tribunal to apex court: The never-ending dispute in India's contracting system

Sep 12: What began as an ONGC contractor’s unpaid invoices in 1998 is still in litigation in 2025.
8Arbitration was meant to resolve quickly; instead, it has become a pre-trial ritual before full-scale litigation.
8That is the unfortunate truth about India's contracting system

E&P contracting brief: Part I

Sep 12: Meter-based TPI and QCC-gated cash push stricter mill-gate controls in ONGC drill pipe contract
8ONGC has tied third-party inspection to an active GeM drill pipe award and shifted all money release to the final QCC.
8The agency must work off a meter-true production schedule and deliver complete inspection dossiers, not partials.
8The option to swing quantities by 25% adds planning risk for mills and inspectors alike, with little room for slippage.
Through-coating UT, OISD-anchored reporting and isometric deliverables raise the integrity bar in Oil India PS-10/RS-17 survey
8Oil India’s new UT survey package insists on through-coating measurements, OISD-driven sampling, and mapped isometrics.
8The bid page says “no” to EMD/ePBG even as ATCs quietly describe how to furnish them.
8Bidders will need ASNT-II manpower and robust reporting pipelines to stay cost-competitive under this mix of technical precision and contractual ambiguity.
IIT-vetted PV-BESS microgrids with four-year O&M and strict cadence set new reliability bar in Oil India microgrid package
8Oil India wants three upstream sites hybridised with PV-BESS-EMS under an IIT-cleared design.
8The build window is only six months and 15 days before a four-year service runway begins.
8A “force majeure not applicable” note in SCC and a 10% PBG could reshape bidder pricing and participation.
Five regional civil players crowd ONGC’s three-year rig-enablement rate contract
8A compact field of five has taken aim at ONGC Rajahmundry’s rig-support civil contract.
8With percentage-rate pricing over block-wise baselines, the contest collapses to logistics mastery and documentation discipline.
8A strict price-format rule and a firm EMD/PBG regime will quietly shape who survives evaluation.
BEC dilution plea turned down; five-day mobilisation and IIAC path set tone for ONGC ESG mandate
8ONGC refused to soften the top-tier experience bar that bidders tried to dilute.
8The timetable stays aggressive with five-day mobilisation and 12-week delivery gates.
8A mediation-arbitration ladder exists even as the bid header says otherwise—leaving vendors to price legal ambiguity.
ONGC shoreline exposure-covering tender pushed to 18 September; protection and coating scope unchanged
8ONGC has given bidders three more weeks to bid on the Hazira and Uran–Trombay exposure-covering package.
8The slide buys time for bathymetry-led designs, PP gabion sourcing and EN 12068 coating plans without altering the risk posture.
8Protection geometry and no-shutdown constraints still set the execution bar high.

E&P contracting brief: Part II

Sep 12: Soil dossier goes public to de-risk foundations in ONGC GPPL LMP project
8ONGC attached the site’s geotechnical report and location details to the bid. That shifts design from guesswork to calculations.
8Expect sharper pricing on piling and tank pads. Foundations must reflect reclaimed soils and high-wind criteria, with horizontal tanks preferred.
8That pushes engineering depth onto bidders. Weak design shops will struggle to qualify.
8LTSOBM, base oil, brine, and firefighting lines run ~600 m to OSV manifolds.
8Colour coding and booster pumps are mandatory. Interface approvals with APM/GPPL remain critical path.
Second-week push signals bid-quality play; ONGC oil-spill bioremediation clock now at mid-September
8Pre-bid attempts to soften construction and quality bars were declined.
8Treatment pits still need 1.5 mm HDPE liners.
8Output quality is pegged to tight TPH thresholds.
Oil India pushed to 23 September and AHTS spec hardened to 120 MT BP
8Oil India has moved the bid deadline to 23 September after first sliding it to 16 September.
8In parallel, the AHTS class is tightened from 100 MT to 120 MT bollard pull with deck gear to match.
8The commercial spine stays hard, with high EMD and termination rights intact.
Eighth pushbacks for 125 MT rigs buy in Oil India
8Oil India has pushed its seven-rig tender to another deadline without touching securities or validity.
8The long runway favours fully compliant OEMs who can clear API and performance-letter hurdles.
8The price table should be sharper, but delivery commitments will be watched closely.
OIL Rajasthan cementing & BHP tender gets 14-day extension to 26 September Limited.
8Oil India has pushed the submission deadline for its Rajasthan cementing & BHP services tender.
8The fortnight cushion arrives amid stringent lab-validation and OEM tie-up demands that front-load quality assurance.
8The move could widen participation without diluting OIL’s integrity and performance gates.
OIL Baghewala 3D seismic interpretation consultancy bid extended
8Oil India has pushed the Baghewala G&G interpretation bid deadline to 18 September.
8The one-week slide preserves strict QCBS and deliverable discipline while giving teams time to stabilise Petrel projects and presentations.
8Expect more complete prospect inventories at submission without a change in the bar.

Downstream contracting briefs: Awards

Sep 12: VRC sets the price anchor on EIL’s polymer warehouse package as architectural specs tighten
8EIL’s late-cycle architectural baselines and IT security add-ons narrowed scope ambiguity just as prices firmed. VRC’s across-BoQ lead came with a consistent cushion over L2, hinting at disciplined, not reckless, pricing. The unanswered questions are where the award will finally land and how these compliance layers shape execution.
KSB wins propylene product pump at BPCL Kochi PP and L1–L2 gap at 7.1%.
8A late-cycle technical amendment flipped the datasheet stack for Kochi’s propylene pump and settled a nagging NPSH/wear-ring debate. Four rapid extensions kept competition alive without losing schedule control. The final numbers show a measured spread and a quiet but firm push toward Smart Integrated handover.

Sole OEM shows at technical opening for gasketed PHE buy

Sep 12: 8A limited, zero-deviation RFQ for gasketed plate heat exchangers under BPREP drew a single technical participant. Dates moved thrice, but the compliance spine did not. The downstream implication is tighter control—and fewer pricing levers.

Two-horse race in BPCL Bina compressor package as technical bids open

Sep 12: 8BPCL’s Bina expansion has opened technical bids on its API 672 decoking air compressor, and only two global OEMs are at the table. Zero-deviation terms and bottomline evaluation leave little room for clever exceptions, pushing a straight spec-match contest. The real edge may come from who secures long-lead metallurgy and drivers fast enough to hit a 15-month clock.

Downstream contracting briefs: Part I

Sep 12: IOCL scouts ammonia-water two-stage reheat turbine for Paradip waste-heat power
8IOCL/Paradip refinery IOCL’s R&D is testing the market for a binary-mixture turbine that can squeeze more power out of Paradip’s waste heat. The specs point to a two-stage, inter-reheat machine with tight performance declarations at part load. But only proven ammonia-water suppliers will make the cut — and that changes the competition.
HPCL RGE floats GCBS study to hard-wire RTO solar + BESS at the Bhatinda 2G ethanol plant
8A refinery-adjacent ethanol plant wants RTC renewables without compromising process uptime. The scope forces 8760-hour BESS logic, evacuation clarity, and OISD-safe rooftop/carport design into one DPR. The QCBS gate will likely decide who gets to write the EPC playbook.

Downstream contracting briefs: Part II

Sep 12: Three bid-date shifts tighten zero-deviation pump package for BPCL’s BPREP
8EIL has stretched the bid window for BPREP’s vertical pump package without loosening technical guardrails. Pre-bid replies hard-anchor MCSF, nitrogen purging and instrumentation boundaries to the MR/licensor stack. The real story is how the added time reshapes competition while keeping evaluation strictly groupwise.
Price variation base rates and BG milestone shift reshape risk profile in NRL’s BOP tender for LPG terminal
8NRL’s latest addendum rewires escalation and payment mechanics for the Balance of Plant package at Golaghat. Steel and rebar base rates are now hard-coded, and BG relief has been advanced to an earlier milestone. For bidders, the changes alter both risk hedging and working capital strategies — and open questions remain on subcontractor bottlenecks.
Third extension pushes IOCL Panipat naphtha tank bid to 22 September without easing PQC or scope
8IOCL has granted a third date extension on its Panipat two-tank package, but left scope and PQCs untouched. The cadence suggests it wants cleaner, verifiable bids rather than rushed filings. For bidders, the extra runway may tighten RA outcomes—but only if more qualified players enter.
Second push to 25 September tightens IFR clarity but holds conservative loads in BPCL Bina tankages
8EIL has moved the bid date twice, now landing on 25 September. The extra time coincides with a quiet but material reset on aluminium IFR fire-protection and seal maintenance language. Yet the high live-load and anti-static prescriptions stand firm.
EIL extends coalescer revamp bid window for BPCL Kochi polypropylene project
8Engineers India Ltd has stretched the Coalescer Revamp bid deadline after three successive extensions. The package, a limited competitive enquiry under BPCL’s polypropylene expansion at Kochi, has already seen bidders pushed through multiple clarifications and registration steps. The repeated shifts raise questions about bidder appetite, technical compliance and the sequencing of the wider polypropylene and PFCCU revamp rollout.

Andhra Refinery: Update

Sep 12: BPCL sets 19 September pre-tender meet for 600 KTPA PVC licensor at Ramayapatnam
8BPCL and EIL have opened the licensor door for a 600 KTPA PVC unit inside a new refinery-petchem hub. The brief flags a high-purity VCM interface and a credentials-heavy screening. The real action will be in the guarantees, limits, and liabilities that are not yet on paper.
8The project defines two trains at 300 KTPA each to reach 600 KTPA. That architecture typically improves availability and maintenance flexibility. It also shapes catalyst strategy and debottleneck pathways.
8With capacity and purity spelled out, only a handful of technologies may fit. Expect sharpened competition on guarantees and energy index. Watch for interface carve-outs in draft contracts.

PRP-IX: Bidder clarifications narrow LD triggers and cement free-issue custody risks

Sep 11: 8Lamprell, L&T, and MDL pressed ONGC on LD exposure, free-issue custody, and insurance relief, but responses left most risks with contractors.
8Only two Season-1 segments now attract segment-specific LD, with others tied to overall completion.
8Contractors must still pick up and safeguard free-issue pipe within 15 days of IRN, bearing full quality and logistics risk. 
8What is more, ONGC has removed a major engineering variable by ruling out flow-assurance studies.
8Thermal checks will follow a simplified, uniform-density profile.
8That trims pre-lay engineering time but shifts caution to installation envelopes.

BPCL’s PRFCC Mumbai EPCM: Bid date pushed ahead

Sep 11: 8The bid deadline has been moved while binding a new tranche of Q&A and amendments into the tender.

But commercial guardrails and digital deliverables remain largely unchanged—and that will shape who leans in.

E&P contracting brief: Part I

Sep 11: Milestone-driven 24-inch crude line replacement to BPCL and BPCL refineries tightens brownfield risk at ONGC Uran Plant
8ONGC has packaged a two-line, 24-inch crude pipeline replacement from Trombay Terminal (TT) to HPCL and BPCL with execution playbooks per line.
8The SCC pins delivery to milestone gates while the technical volumes hard-wire PNGRB/OISD/ASME/API integrity norms.
8What that does to bidder risk pricing, shutdown choreography and CP/metering integration is the real story.
8The SOW separates TT to HPCL and TT to BPCL execution, reducing interface ambiguity in trenchless, tie-ins and commissioning.
8That granularity is rare in generic pipeline SoWs. The pay-off is in fewer shutdown clashes and crisper test-pack sequencing.
Instrumented high-pressure KCl dosing charter hard-wires QA/LD discipline at ONGC Assam Asset
8ONGC is buying a three-year, round-the-clock KCl dosing service that treats quality drift as financially material.
8The SOW binds dosing accuracy to 4-hourly lab/flow checks, DCS-visible history, and logbook-based LD bases.
8That reshapes bidder risk on pumps, power continuity, and hazardous-area compliance.
Development-order EOI pushes indigenous API-compliant Kelly spinner into ONGC drilling fleet
8ONGC has opened a development-order window for a pneumatic Kelly spinner tailored to a 5 1/4" Kelly.
8API 8C licensing and RP 7G conformance are non-negotiable, with a QAP-heavy inspection regime and a 10-year spares promise.
8The real play is domesticising a safety-critical tool without diluting performance.
Nine-month finish and platform-wide LD upheld in ONGC MNW tube bundle replacement
8ONGC has locked the scope to both E-3030 and E-3050 while refusing any relaxation to the nine-month completion clock.
8LD will apply to the total contract price, not tag-wise, keeping schedule risk pooled.
8Technical clarifications fix data interpretation for design, but payment hard lines keep liquidity risk with bidders.
ONGC extends TPI bids but rejects clause-softening asks for EOR Surfactant
8The date push gives bidders breathing room without loosening legal guardrails.
8ONGC has stood firm on force majeure, liability, LD and jurisdiction edits, pointing back to its empanelment baseline.
8The operational tempo across 13 lots remains intact, keeping delivery pressure squarely on the TPI.
OIL tightens QA, right-sizes campaign, and extends bid closing for mud engineering and drill waste management in Mahanadi Basin
8A late-cycle amendment pushes the bid deadline to 19 September while recasting scope and QA levers.
8The well count halves and lab/stockholding rules turn more exacting, but personnel windows ease.
8How bidders price downtime risk versus inventory carry will decide the spread.

E&P contracting brief: Part II

Sep 11: ONGC extends bid adds 75 days to all delivery lots under
8A mid-cycle corrigendum moves the bid gate to 17 September and rewrites the delivery calendar.
8Risk moves from manufacturing sprint to disciplined execution under option-clause elasticity.
8RA tension remains; how bidders monetise the 75-day relief will decide spreads.
Three-step extension pushes ONGC digital SI empanelment to 15 September
8ONGC has extended its digital SI empanelment tender to 15 September without altering scope or conditions.
8The move points to stringent BEC/QBS demands that require time to document upstream and OSDU credentials.
8Expect a deeper, better-qualified field rather than a diluted bar.
OIL extends Assam & Arunachal 1000 HP rig tender
8A single 21-day extension resets the bid clock on OIL’s four-year, 1000 HP land-rig package.
8The spec remains tight even after a crowded pre-bid sought relaxations on top drive, pumps, and BOP details.
8Whether clarifications move before the new date could decide participation depth and ultimate pricing.
OIL’s modular ZLD desalination bid gets extension, QA tightened via named TPIA
8Oil India has pushed the bid deadline ahead, adding breathing room on a technically dense ZLD package.
8A mid-cycle corrigendum also names the independent inspection agency, signaling stricter quality gates.
8The combination could alter bidder strategies and the balance between cost and compliance.
GSPC nudges rig-hire deadline by seven days, keeps tight QA and BEC gates for Ankleshwar 100-ton land rig
8GSPC has extended the bid closing on its 100-ton land rig call-out tender.
8The move preserves the original three-bid structure, security levels, and API-grade technical gates.
8That mix could change bidder math on compliance versus speed without altering risk transfer.

Downstream contracting briefs: Awards

Sep 11: Addverb wins AS/RS package for BPCL Kochi PP warehouse after steep 45–48% gap to followers
8The final math didn’t just price equipment — it priced MOOWR, GST and the civil–PEB–rack seam. Amendments loaded non-creditable GST and customs-PV into evaluation while tightening delay disincentives. The winner read the structure right; the rest priced the frictions.
Chetan Corporation wins fixed CO? and fire-alarm package for repeater buildings
8NRL and EIL have closed a repeatable, multi-site CO? and alarm package with a six-month completion clock. The winner priced execution risk far below the field in a tender that softened financial entry barriers but tightened qualifications. The real story is how standardisation and firm pre-bid stances reshaped competition and future pricing.
Oswal and Zed split MOV groups as BPCL shifts delivery to Vadinar in BPREP award
8A four-group MOV package closed with single-bid outcomes within each group. BPCL’s mid-run shift of delivery to Vadinar and GeM-aligned clauses tightened logistics and governance. The real story is how narrow technical eligibility and hub delivery will shape pricing and schedules across BPREP.
Powermech wins Paradip ETP outfall pipeline under EIL’s standards-heavy playbook
8The Paradip ETP outfall is an execution-risk job dressed in EIL’s quality armour: 3LPE, CWC, field-joint QA and CP. A 10-month clock to hand-over compresses marine, HDD and diffuser sequencing into a narrow window. The price looks pragmatic, but the real story is what the missing L2/L3 and owner estimate would say about margins.

Four bidders line up for Dahej PDH-PP material handling under zero-deviation terms

Sep 11: 8EIL opened technical bids on a tightly controlled, zero-deviation material-handling package for PLL’s PDH-PP at Dahej. Four names turned up in a limited-issue field, with clarifications nudging crane choices toward pick-and-carry pragmatism. The all-inclusive per-MT pricing stance could still decide who survives the price round.

Downstream contracting briefs

Sep 11: Pre-bid reply hardens MAWP, widens lubrication options for GWS/LCWS pumps in Petronet LNG PDH-PP project
8EIL has kept the casing rating firm while giving vendors breathing room on lubrication choices. The document discipline leaves little space for post-bid manoeuvre, pushing all design exceptions into the pre-bid window. The net effect is a reliability-first package that rewards compliant, pre-qualified OEMs.
Bid window extended for CDU-3 CBD replacement rate contract in BPCL Kochi Refinery
8BPCL-KR has pushed its CDU-3 CBD replacement tender ahead, giving bidders a week more after the earlier site walk. The scope is inch-dia intensive with cold-cutting, NDT, and supports that reward disciplined planning. The extension may change the bidder math, but not the security or evaluation posture.
IOCL extends BUP pilot plant tender to widen vendor compliance window
8IOCL’s R&D tender for a flame-proof Bottom-Up Synthesis Plant has been pushed back by one week. The shift buys bidders more time to align ATEX-compliant systems and PQC proofs. But the extension also exposes the risk of thin competition in a highly specialized pilot-scale package.
GAIL extends start-up valuation consultancy bid deadline amid bidder pushback
8GAIL has pushed back the closing date of its start-up valuation consultancy tender by a week. The move comes after bidders flagged scope ambiguities, revaluation clauses, and data-access restrictions. The extension underscores the balancing act between PSU oversight and consultant risk appetite.
CPCL extends ETP-IV & DMRO O&M bid as corrigendum shifts membranes, AMC inventories and spares to contractor
8CPCL has pushed the bid clock by four days while hard-wiring membrane accountability and AMC transparency. The contractor gains sourcing latitude on RO, but also inherits a three-year life guarantee and major replacements. With SOR math unchanged, the pricing game now hinges on lifecycle risk and uptime discipline.

Foam-dam dropped, in-service seal fix coming as EIL tightens IFR safety and housekeeping in BPCL BPREP tankages

Sep 11: 8EIL has confirmed full-surface NFPA-11 coverage for aluminium IFRs, quietly making foam dams redundant. A technical amendment will also clean up an “in-service” seal-maintenance clause that doesn’t fit IFR realities. The bigger story is how conservative live-load design and MDS-over-SOR billing shape the bid math and risk.

Baseline too easy? Has ONGC’s risky PEC bet turns into contractor windfall?

8But in a few months, the company is all set to make money on it.
8Was the plan set up too easy by ONGC? Or is the contractor to be given credit?
8The case puts PECs under the spotlight—showing both the risks of conservative baselines and the rewards of contractor efficiency.

E&P contracting brief: Part I

Sep 12: Meter-based TPI and QCC-gated cash push stricter mill-gate controls in ONGC drill pipe contract
8ONGC has tied third-party inspection to an active GeM drill pipe award and shifted all money release to the final QCC.
8The agency must work off a meter-true production schedule and deliver complete inspection dossiers, not partials.
8The option to swing quantities by 25% adds planning risk for mills and inspectors alike, with little room for slippage.
Through-coating UT, OISD-anchored reporting and isometric deliverables raise the integrity bar in Oil India PS-10/RS-17 survey
8Oil India’s new UT survey package insists on through-coating measurements, OISD-driven sampling, and mapped isometrics.
8The bid page says “no” to EMD/ePBG even as ATCs quietly describe how to furnish them.
8Bidders will need ASNT-II manpower and robust reporting pipelines to stay cost-competitive under this mix of technical precision and contractual ambiguity.
IIT-vetted PV-BESS microgrids with four-year O&M and strict cadence set new reliability bar in Oil India microgrid package
8Oil India wants three upstream sites hybridised with PV-BESS-EMS under an IIT-cleared design.
8The build window is only six months and 15 days before a four-year service runway begins.
8A “force majeure not applicable” note in SCC and a 10% PBG could reshape bidder pricing and participation.
Five regional civil players crowd ONGC’s three-year rig-enablement rate contract
8A compact field of five has taken aim at ONGC Rajahmundry’s rig-support civil contract.
8With percentage-rate pricing over block-wise baselines, the contest collapses to logistics mastery and documentation discipline.
8A strict price-format rule and a firm EMD/PBG regime will quietly shape who survives evaluation.
BEC dilution plea turned down; five-day mobilisation and IIAC path set tone for ONGC ESG mandate
8ONGC refused to soften the top-tier experience bar that bidders tried to dilute.
8The timetable stays aggressive with five-day mobilisation and 12-week delivery gates.
8A mediation-arbitration ladder exists even as the bid header says otherwise—leaving vendors to price legal ambiguity.
ONGC shoreline exposure-covering tender pushed to 18 September; protection and coating scope unchanged
8ONGC has given bidders three more weeks to bid on the Hazira and Uran–Trombay exposure-covering package.
8The slide buys time for bathymetry-led designs, PP gabion sourcing and EN 12068 coating plans without altering the risk posture.
8Protection geometry and no-shutdown constraints still set the execution bar high.

E&P contracting brief: Part II

Sep 12: Soil dossier goes public to de-risk foundations in ONGC GPPL LMP project
8ONGC attached the site’s geotechnical report and location details to the bid. That shifts design from guesswork to calculations.
8Expect sharper pricing on piling and tank pads. Foundations must reflect reclaimed soils and high-wind criteria, with horizontal tanks preferred.
8That pushes engineering depth onto bidders. Weak design shops will struggle to qualify.
8LTSOBM, base oil, brine, and firefighting lines run ~600 m to OSV manifolds.
8Colour coding and booster pumps are mandatory. Interface approvals with APM/GPPL remain critical path.
Second-week push signals bid-quality play; ONGC oil-spill bioremediation clock now at mid-September
8Pre-bid attempts to soften construction and quality bars were declined.
8Treatment pits still need 1.5 mm HDPE liners.
8Output quality is pegged to tight TPH thresholds.
Oil India pushed to 23 September and AHTS spec hardened to 120 MT BP
8Oil India has moved the bid deadline to 23 September after first sliding it to 16 September.
8In parallel, the AHTS class is tightened from 100 MT to 120 MT bollard pull with deck gear to match.
8The commercial spine stays hard, with high EMD and termination rights intact.
Eighth pushbacks for 125 MT rigs buy in Oil India
8Oil India has pushed its seven-rig tender to another deadline without touching securities or validity.
8The long runway favours fully compliant OEMs who can clear API and performance-letter hurdles.
8The price table should be sharper, but delivery commitments will be watched closely.
OIL Rajasthan cementing & BHP tender gets 14-day extension to 26 September Limited.
8Oil India has pushed the submission deadline for its Rajasthan cementing & BHP services tender.
8The fortnight cushion arrives amid stringent lab-validation and OEM tie-up demands that front-load quality assurance.
8The move could widen participation without diluting OIL’s integrity and performance gates.
OIL Baghewala 3D seismic interpretation consultancy bid extended
8Oil India has pushed the Baghewala G&G interpretation bid deadline to 18 September.
8The one-week slide preserves strict QCBS and deliverable discipline while giving teams time to stabilise Petrel projects and presentations.
8Expect more complete prospect inventories at submission without a change in the bar.

Downstream contracting briefs: Awards

Sep 12: VRC sets the price anchor on EIL’s polymer warehouse package as architectural specs tighten
8EIL’s late-cycle architectural baselines and IT security add-ons narrowed scope ambiguity just as prices firmed. VRC’s across-BoQ lead came with a consistent cushion over L2, hinting at disciplined, not reckless, pricing. The unanswered questions are where the award will finally land and how these compliance layers shape execution.
KSB wins propylene product pump at BPCL Kochi PP and L1–L2 gap at 7.1%.
8A late-cycle technical amendment flipped the datasheet stack for Kochi’s propylene pump and settled a nagging NPSH/wear-ring debate. Four rapid extensions kept competition alive without losing schedule control. The final numbers show a measured spread and a quiet but firm push toward Smart Integrated handover.

Sole OEM shows at technical opening for gasketed PHE buy

Two-horse race in BPCL Bina compressor package as technical bids open

Sep 12: 8BPCL’s Bina expansion has opened technical bids on its API 672 decoking air compressor, and only two global OEMs are at the table. Zero-deviation terms and bottomline evaluation leave little room for clever exceptions, pushing a straight spec-match contest. The real edge may come from who secures long-lead metallurgy and drivers fast enough to hit a 15-month clock.

Downstream contracting briefs: Part I

Sep 12: IOCL scouts ammonia-water two-stage reheat turbine for Paradip waste-heat power
8IOCL/Paradip refinery IOCL’s R&D is testing the market for a binary-mixture turbine that can squeeze more power out of Paradip’s waste heat. The specs point to a two-stage, inter-reheat machine with tight performance declarations at part load. But only proven ammonia-water suppliers will make the cut — and that changes the competition.
HPCL RGE floats GCBS study to hard-wire RTO solar + BESS at the Bhatinda 2G ethanol plant
8A refinery-adjacent ethanol plant wants RTC renewables without compromising process uptime. The scope forces 8760-hour BESS logic, evacuation clarity, and OISD-safe rooftop/carport design into one DPR. The QCBS gate will likely decide who gets to write the EPC playbook.

Downstream contracting briefs: Part II

Sep 12: Three bid-date shifts tighten zero-deviation pump package for BPCL’s BPREP
8EIL has stretched the bid window for BPREP’s vertical pump package without loosening technical guardrails. Pre-bid replies hard-anchor MCSF, nitrogen purging and instrumentation boundaries to the MR/licensor stack. The real story is how the added time reshapes competition while keeping evaluation strictly groupwise.
Price variation base rates and BG milestone shift reshape risk profile in NRL’s BOP tender for LPG terminal
8NRL’s latest addendum rewires escalation and payment mechanics for the Balance of Plant package at Golaghat. Steel and rebar base rates are now hard-coded, and BG relief has been advanced to an earlier milestone. For bidders, the changes alter both risk hedging and working capital strategies — and open questions remain on subcontractor bottlenecks.
Third extension pushes IOCL Panipat naphtha tank bid to 22 September without easing PQC or scope
8IOCL has granted a third date extension on its Panipat two-tank package, but left scope and PQCs untouched. The cadence suggests it wants cleaner, verifiable bids rather than rushed filings. For bidders, the extra runway may tighten RA outcomes—but only if more qualified players enter.
Second push to 25 September tightens IFR clarity but holds conservative loads in BPCL Bina tankages
8EIL has moved the bid date twice, now landing on 25 September. The extra time coincides with a quiet but material reset on aluminium IFR fire-protection and seal maintenance language. Yet the high live-load and anti-static prescriptions stand firm.
EIL extends coalescer revamp bid window for BPCL Kochi polypropylene project
8Engineers India Ltd has stretched the Coalescer Revamp bid deadline after three successive extensions. The package, a limited competitive enquiry under BPCL’s polypropylene expansion at Kochi, has already seen bidders pushed through multiple clarifications and registration steps. The repeated shifts raise questions about bidder appetite, technical compliance and the sequencing of the wider polypropylene and PFCCU revamp rollout.

Andhra Refinery: Update

Sep 12: BPCL sets 19 September pre-tender meet for 600 KTPA PVC licensor at Ramayapatnam
8BPCL and EIL have opened the licensor door for a 600 KTPA PVC unit inside a new refinery-petchem hub. The brief flags a high-purity VCM interface and a credentials-heavy screening. The real action will be in the guarantees, limits, and liabilities that are not yet on paper.
8The project defines two trains at 300 KTPA each to reach 600 KTPA. That architecture typically improves availability and maintenance flexibility. It also shapes catalyst strategy and debottleneck pathways.
8With capacity and purity spelled out, only a handful of technologies may fit. Expect sharpened competition on guarantees and energy index. Watch for interface carve-outs in draft contracts.

PRP-IX: Bidder clarifications narrow LD triggers and cement free-issue custody risks

Sep 11: 8Lamprell, L&T, and MDL pressed ONGC on LD exposure, free-issue custody, and insurance relief, but responses left most risks with contractors.
8Only two Season-1 segments now attract segment-specific LD, with others tied to overall completion.
8Contractors must still pick up and safeguard free-issue pipe within 15 days of IRN, bearing full quality and logistics risk. 
8What is more, ONGC has removed a major engineering variable by ruling out flow-assurance studies.
8Thermal checks will follow a simplified, uniform-density profile.
8That trims pre-lay engineering time but shifts caution to installation envelopes.

BPCL’s PRFCC Mumbai EPCM: Bid date pushed ahead

Sep 11: 8The bid deadline has been moved while binding a new tranche of Q&A and amendments into the tender. The owner has clarified safety studies, HAZOP cadence and closure, and a closed-loop cooling-water strategy that shifts hydraulics onto the EPCM. But commercial guardrails and digital deliverables remain largely unchanged—and that will shape who leans in.

Sep 11: BPCL sets the table for a 600 KTPA balanced VCM licensor package at Ramayapatnam

E&P contracting brief: Part I

Sep 11: Milestone-driven 24-inch crude line replacement to BPCL and BPCL refineries tightens brownfield risk at ONGC Uran Plant
8ONGC has packaged a two-line, 24-inch crude pipeline replacement from Trombay Terminal (TT) to HPCL and BPCL with execution playbooks per line.
8The SCC pins delivery to milestone gates while the technical volumes hard-wire PNGRB/OISD/ASME/API integrity norms.
8What that does to bidder risk pricing, shutdown choreography and CP/metering integration is the real story.
8The SOW separates TT to HPCL and TT to BPCL execution, reducing interface ambiguity in trenchless, tie-ins and commissioning.
8That granularity is rare in generic pipeline SoWs. The pay-off is in fewer shutdown clashes and crisper test-pack sequencing.
Instrumented high-pressure KCl dosing charter hard-wires QA/LD discipline at ONGC Assam Asset
8ONGC is buying a three-year, round-the-clock KCl dosing service that treats quality drift as financially material.
8The SOW binds dosing accuracy to 4-hourly lab/flow checks, DCS-visible history, and logbook-based LD bases.
8That reshapes bidder risk on pumps, power continuity, and hazardous-area compliance.
Development-order EOI pushes indigenous API-compliant Kelly spinner into ONGC drilling fleet
8ONGC has opened a development-order window for a pneumatic Kelly spinner tailored to a 5 1/4" Kelly.
8API 8C licensing and RP 7G conformance are non-negotiable, with a QAP-heavy inspection regime and a 10-year spares promise.
8The real play is domesticising a safety-critical tool without diluting performance.
Nine-month finish and platform-wide LD upheld in ONGC MNW tube bundle replacement
8ONGC has locked the scope to both E-3030 and E-3050 while refusing any relaxation to the nine-month completion clock.
8LD will apply to the total contract price, not tag-wise, keeping schedule risk pooled.
8Technical clarifications fix data interpretation for design, but payment hard lines keep liquidity risk with bidders.
ONGC extends TPI bids but rejects clause-softening asks for EOR Surfactant
8The date push gives bidders breathing room without loosening legal guardrails.
8ONGC has stood firm on force majeure, liability, LD and jurisdiction edits, pointing back to its empanelment baseline.
8The operational tempo across 13 lots remains intact, keeping delivery pressure squarely on the TPI.
OIL tightens QA, right-sizes campaign, and extends bid closing for mud engineering and drill waste management in Mahanadi Basin
8A late-cycle amendment pushes the bid deadline to 19 September while recasting scope and QA levers.
8The well count halves and lab/stockholding rules turn more exacting, but personnel windows ease.
8How bidders price downtime risk versus inventory carry will decide the spread.

E&P contracting brief: Part II

Sep 11: ONGC extends bid adds 75 days to all delivery lots under
8A mid-cycle corrigendum moves the bid gate to 17 September and rewrites the delivery calendar.
8Risk moves from manufacturing sprint to disciplined execution under option-clause elasticity.
8RA tension remains; how bidders monetise the 75-day relief will decide spreads.
Three-step extension pushes ONGC digital SI empanelment to 15 September
8ONGC has extended its digital SI empanelment tender to 15 September without altering scope or conditions.
8The move points to stringent BEC/QBS demands that require time to document upstream and OSDU credentials.
8Expect a deeper, better-qualified field rather than a diluted bar.
OIL extends Assam & Arunachal 1000 HP rig tender
8A single 21-day extension resets the bid clock on OIL’s four-year, 1000 HP land-rig package.
8The spec remains tight even after a crowded pre-bid sought relaxations on top drive, pumps, and BOP details.
8Whether clarifications move before the new date could decide participation depth and ultimate pricing.
OIL’s modular ZLD desalination bid gets extension, QA tightened via named TPIA
8Oil India has pushed the bid deadline ahead, adding breathing room on a technically dense ZLD package.
8A mid-cycle corrigendum also names the independent inspection agency, signaling stricter quality gates.
8The combination could alter bidder strategies and the balance between cost and compliance.
GSPC nudges rig-hire deadline by seven days, keeps tight QA and BEC gates for Ankleshwar 100-ton land rig
8GSPC has extended the bid closing on its 100-ton land rig call-out tender.
8The move preserves the original three-bid structure, security levels, and API-grade technical gates.
8That mix could change bidder math on compliance versus speed without altering risk transfer.

Downstream contracting briefs: Awards

Sep 11: Addverb wins AS/RS package for BPCL Kochi PP warehouse after steep 45–48% gap to followers
8The final math didn’t just price equipment — it priced MOOWR, GST and the civil–PEB–rack seam. Amendments loaded non-creditable GST and customs-PV into evaluation while tightening delay disincentives. The winner read the structure right; the rest priced the frictions.
Chetan Corporation wins fixed CO? and fire-alarm package for repeater buildings
8NRL and EIL have closed a repeatable, multi-site CO? and alarm package with a six-month completion clock. The winner priced execution risk far below the field in a tender that softened financial entry barriers but tightened qualifications. The real story is how standardisation and firm pre-bid stances reshaped competition and future pricing.
Oswal and Zed split MOV groups as BPCL shifts delivery to Vadinar in BPREP award
8A four-group MOV package closed with single-bid outcomes within each group. BPCL’s mid-run shift of delivery to Vadinar and GeM-aligned clauses tightened logistics and governance. The real story is how narrow technical eligibility and hub delivery will shape pricing and schedules across BPREP.
Powermech wins Paradip ETP outfall pipeline under EIL’s standards-heavy playbook
8The Paradip ETP outfall is an execution-risk job dressed in EIL’s quality armour: 3LPE, CWC, field-joint QA and CP. A 10-month clock to hand-over compresses marine, HDD and diffuser sequencing into a narrow window. The price looks pragmatic, but the real story is what the missing L2/L3 and owner estimate would say about margins.

Four bidders line up for Dahej PDH-PP material handling under zero-deviation terms

Sep 11: 8EIL opened technical bids on a tightly controlled, zero-deviation material-handling package for PLL’s PDH-PP at Dahej. Four names turned up in a limited-issue field, with clarifications nudging crane choices toward pick-and-carry pragmatism. The all-inclusive per-MT pricing stance could still decide who survives the price round.

Downstream contracting briefs

Sep 11: Pre-bid reply hardens MAWP, widens lubrication options for GWS/LCWS pumps in Petronet LNG PDH-PP project
8EIL has kept the casing rating firm while giving vendors breathing room on lubrication choices. The document discipline leaves little space for post-bid manoeuvre, pushing all design exceptions into the pre-bid window. The net effect is a reliability-first package that rewards compliant, pre-qualified OEMs.
Bid window extended for CDU-3 CBD replacement rate contract in BPCL Kochi Refinery
8BPCL-KR has pushed its CDU-3 CBD replacement tender ahead, giving bidders a week more after the earlier site walk. The scope is inch-dia intensive with cold-cutting, NDT, and supports that reward disciplined planning. The extension may change the bidder math, but not the security or evaluation posture.
IOCL extends BUP pilot plant tender to widen vendor compliance window
8IOCL’s R&D tender for a flame-proof Bottom-Up Synthesis Plant has been pushed back by one week. The shift buys bidders more time to align ATEX-compliant systems and PQC proofs. But the extension also exposes the risk of thin competition in a highly specialized pilot-scale package.
GAIL extends start-up valuation consultancy bid deadline amid bidder pushback
8GAIL has pushed back the closing date of its start-up valuation consultancy tender by a week. The move comes after bidders flagged scope ambiguities, revaluation clauses, and data-access restrictions. The extension underscores the balancing act between PSU oversight and consultant risk appetite.
CPCL extends ETP-IV & DMRO O&M bid as corrigendum shifts membranes, AMC inventories and spares to contractor
8CPCL has pushed the bid clock by four days while hard-wiring membrane accountability and AMC transparency. The contractor gains sourcing latitude on RO, but also inherits a three-year life guarantee and major replacements. With SOR math unchanged, the pricing game now hinges on lifecycle risk and uptime discipline.

Foam-dam dropped, in-service seal fix coming as EIL tightens IFR safety and housekeeping in BPCL BPREP tankages

Sep 11: 8EIL has confirmed full-surface NFPA-11 coverage for aluminium IFRs, quietly making foam dams redundant. A technical amendment will also clean up an “in-service” seal-maintenance clause that doesn’t fit IFR realities. The bigger story is how conservative live-load design and MDS-over-SOR billing shape the bid math and risk.
