Downstream contracting briefs: Technical bids
Feb 20: 1) Two bidders enter EIL’s high-capacity electric heater technical opening 8Participation is limited to Chromalox and Watlow in the technical bid opening record. That scale is typical of niche heater packages but leaves little room for competitive redundancy.
2) Half the field cut at technical stage in IOCL Panipat refinery DCU fired heater modification consultancy tender 8Click on Details for more
3) BPREP fittings bid draws 12 players, but late contract rewrites and a 25% option clause reshape risk 8BPCL’s BPREP fittings tender looks like a straight supply package, but the real contest is in compliance depth and contract acceptance.
4) Technical bids open with eight bidders for biodiesel (B-100) empanelment 8Find out more
Continuous catalytic pyrolysis pilot plant at R&D: A control-heavy pilot scope drives tight L1–L2 spread
Feb 20: 8IOCL’s R&D pyrolysis pilot award looks routine on price, but the specification embeds process-plant grade controls and safety governance. The winner’s edge is modest, suggesting reverse auction pressure without a blowout discount. The real story is how the control architecture, HAZOP closure and acceptance testing reshape who can profitably bid next time. Click on Details for more

Andhra Refinery Update
Feb 20: 1) Bid clock shifts again as BPCL’s Ramayapatnam LDPE licensor tender hard-codes liability cap acceptance 8The licensor package is no longer just a technology race—it is a liability-compliance test with rejection triggers baked into the bid rules. A commercial amendment resets the aggregate cap mechanics while carving out high-impact exceptions, and IP risk gets a separate, tougher treatment. Click on Details for moreDetails
PRPC HDPE EPCC tender stays open nearly a year as bid due date shifts again
Feb 20: 8The amendments largely move dates, but the persistence of extensions reshapes bidder behaviour, quote validity economics, and risk pricing. The real story is what this timeline signals about participation thresholds and unresolved comfort points in a high-stakes petrochem package. Click on Details for more

Downstream contracting briefs: Part I
Feb 20: 1) NDA-first gate and near-turnkey CCR packaging set the bidder bar 8The owner is ring-fencing the CCR package as an engineering-to-commissioning island, with safety studies and performance test support baked into the scope narrative. 8But the real competitive filter arrives even before the technical bid is seen, through an NDA-first access gate that quietly favours prepared vendor pools. 8What bidders push back on in the pre-bid query cycle will decide whether this package becomes a clean turnkey block or a boundary-dispute magnet.
2) This ETP tender hard-wires HAZOP governance and contractor-led safety interfaces, then resets the clock via annulment and reissue 8The package is being shaped less by commercial boilerplate and more by governance engineered into the technical stack. 8The tender pushes contractors into owning safety interfaces at design level and running a third-party-led HAZOP regime that can make or break schedule credibility. 8Then an annulment-and-reissue on dates adds a quiet participation risk that will separate disciplined bidders from the rushed ones.
3) HPCL extends G-NH3 + LPG batching feasibility bid 8The study for batching green ammonia with LPG is no longer just a pipeline-compatibility exercise; it’s a supply-chain buildout mandate that forces bidders to create the producer–consumer dataset. 8A corrigendum quietly rewrites the corridor reference, pushing “Nagpur” out of the blanket scope language and pulling bids back toward Chandrapur and nearby demand clusters.
4) Kochi refinery PP project composite works tender extends to 26 Feb as EIL adds a civil sub-vendor compliance gate 8The package is buying schedule certainty by tightening what looks like “just” a vendor-list addendum. The civil sub-vendor regime pushes delivery-delay and wrong-vendor risk back onto contractors with explicit rejection-and-replace consequences.
5) IOCL extends deadline for Panipat PRPC toluene extraction licensor package 8A short extension can reveal more than it appears. IOCL has pushed the bid deadline for its Panipat toluene extraction licensor package by a week, but the timing matters. In technology-heavy downstream tenders, even seven days can shift competitive equations.
6) HPCL’s CO2 liquefaction package tender keeps extending as option-clause flexibility and effluent-treatment scope tighten the risk frame 8The package bid has moved far beyond a standard equipment buy, with clarifications pulling effluent handling inside the vendor boundary.
Feb 20: 1) MRPL’s hydrogen reformer shutdown package shifts from “replacement job” to digitally policed, penalty-loaded execution 8The contract language quietly converts delay risk into a two-step hammer: daily price reduction first, then forced intervention with cost recovery if slippage persists. What looks like a routine APH swap is actually a controlled experiment in how tightly a refiner can govern shutdown execution without enabling reverse auction
2) PFCCU revamp composite works tender extended 8The extension looks routine, yet the tender’s governance architecture suggests BPCL/EIL are shaping who can even stay in the race.
3) IOCL resets schedule and waives GeM performance security 8The owner has quietly re-engineered this AVU/VGO-HDT impact assessment tender into a low-security, high-control study contract.
4) IGGL phase-III PMC tender trims key-staff payroll tenure to three years 8IGGL has quietly lowered a qualification tripwire in its phase-III PMC hiring, and the change is aimed straight at bidder eligibility rather than engineering scope.
5) Gujarat refinery DHDS unit: Extended only, not a rewrite of risk allocation Click on Details for moreDetails
Integrated surface well testing, mobile ETP and dew point reduction package: Entry gate tightened
Feb 20: 1) Wireline mast unit contract: winner emerges 8Behind it lies a tightly engineered compliance matrix on mobility, emissions and load control. 8The real signal may be in how OIL is reshaping field asset architecture.
2) L III rig mast NDT contract awarded as L1 undercuts a sharply divided bid field 8ONGC Tripura asset’s rig mast NDT award reveals a tight contest at the bottom and a dramatic pricing cliff beyond L3.
3) Core cutting services: compliance pack tightened 8The mobilisation timeline, LD mechanics and technical acceptance controls remain not specified in the provided excerpts, leaving pricing risk concentrated on bidders.
4) Oil India Limited’s GeM flowline services tender rewrites recovery logistics for Rajasthan fields 8There is a new obligation to transport recovered assets to an OIL-instructed installation. 8What remains unresolved is the downstream commercial calendar.
5) ETP hiring corrigendum hardens bid hygiene 8There is an insertion of an undertaking that allows ONGC to restrict over-quoted rates back to BEC limits for evaluation and award.
6) ONGC extends 10K production testing services hire 8The hire is shaping into a policy-plus-capability contest where non-splittable award logic meets a tightened MSE preference ladder. 8The technical stack is explicitly post-frac flowback capable, and clarifications push abrasive-resistant hardware and readiness buffers back onto the contractor. 8A time extension widens the bidding window, but the documents still signal no dilution of experience gates.
