Sad day for Indian LNG industry-I: It is handcuffed now
Jun 13:
It is a sad day indeed for the LNG industry today.
From being lightly regulated, the pendulum has swung to over-regulated
The law has come into effect. Here is what will happen now
8PNGRB Draws the Line: Registration Now Mandatory for All LNG Terminals
Both upcoming and operational terminals must file for registration under the 2025 rulebook, with strict timelines and structured oversight now in force.
8From Advisory to Mandate: PNGRB Puts LNG Operators on Regulatory Clock
The June 12 notice confirms that operators must act within 45 days—marking the shift from consultation to enforcement.
8LNG Terminal Licences Capped at 30 Years Under PNGRB’s New Regime
Registrations will be valid for three decades from the date of commissioning or certificate issuance—extensions will follow a 10-year block model.
8Business Plans Now a Precondition for LNG Terminal Approvals
No FID without a credible business and evacuation plan—project proponents must now prove market linkage and utilization up front.
8Bank Guarantees, Penalties, and Oversight: PNGRB Reshapes Terminal Accountability
With Rs 25 crore bank guarantees and up to 5% penalties for delays, the regulator now has teeth to enforce compliance.
8Industry Said Overreach—PNGRB Went Ahead Anyway
Despite sharp resistance from Shell, Petronet, and Adani Total, the Board has enforced the full regulation set without amendment.
8Underutilisation Drives New Oversight on LNG Terminal Capacity Planning
PNGRB’s push for pre-FID scrutiny and evacuation linkage appears aimed at correcting chronic underuse of existing infrastructure.
8Common Carrier Fears Still Linger Despite Omission in Final Text
Though not in the 2025 regulation, the industry remains wary of future open-access mandates at terminals—fears first voiced by Shell.
8PNGRB Demands Biannual Data Disclosures from Terminal Operators
Detailed operational data, including regasification volumes and tariffs, must now be filed every April and October—and publicly disclosed.
8Gazette Notification Holds: PNGRB Affirms Full Enforcement Despite Objections
The June 12 public notice confirms that the final regulations will remain as gazetted—marking the end of the stakeholder consultation phase.

Sad day for Indian LNG industry-II: Is the PNGRB a gatekeeper or is it trying to protect someone?
Jun 13:
PNGRB’s new LNG terminal regulations may look like reform, but industry insiders see a different picture—one where opaque approvals, performance bonds, and mandatory disclosures could act as covert deterrents to new entrants, ultimately shielding existing operators from fresh competition.

Indian green steel mandate: Hijacked by steel companies
Jun 13:
It is a fraud instituted at the behest of deep-pocketed companies
And India risks reputational damage and procurement exclusion.
And that is so is being singled out by everyone
8A green badge for brown steel?
India’s new taxonomy caps emissions at 2.2 tCO? per tonne of finished steel—high enough to include some of the most carbon-intensive producers globally. It’s not a leap forward, it’s a rebranding.
8When low ambition becomes national policy
While global buyers demand cradle-to-gate carbon data, India’s “green” steel could still pollute at levels seen in aging blast furnace setups.
8A missed opportunity to lead
Instead of aligning with global decarbonization trajectories, India has chosen the path of least resistance—creating a domestic comfort zone that may stifle global competitiveness.
8Star-rated but stranded
The government’s 3- to 5-star classification system gives every steelmaker a shot at being “green”—but in global markets, even 5-star Indian steel may not qualify for procurement in public projects.
8A climate shield or a trade barrier?
By setting a high emissions threshold and ignoring full-scope lifecycle emissions, India’s green steel definition may eventually clash with CBAM-style import restrictions abroad.
8More branding, less carbon-cutting
There’s no mandate for lifecycle assessments, minimal scope 3 accounting, and limited verification. In its current form, India’s green steel tag is more about optics than impact.
8Green by decree, not by data
Unlike ResponsibleSteel or GSCC, India’s standard does not yet require independent third-party audits or full EPD disclosure—raising questions about the credibility of the certification itself.

Rs 8,500 Crore and Counting: How India abandoned its most flexible power source
Jun 13:
Here is a gas based power plant struggling to get Rs 8500 crore in ourstanding payments
8How will every survive under such a burden?
8The regulatory silence over gas-based power’s slow collapse grows louder.
8While solar and wind enjoy sovereign-backed tenders and coal has political patronage, gas-based power has become India’s unwanted orphan.

IOCL locks CRZ risk on single consultant for NAOB Rambili hydrocarbon hub: Dangerous precedent?
8In a no-contest single-tender, IOCL hands the entire compliance burden—including public hearing representation and CRZ documentation to this consultancy, under a tight 30-day schedule and fixed fee model.
8The point to note is that if this model succeeds, more IOCL environmental approvals may be routed via the contractor, reshaping the role of independent NABET firms in CRZ-heavy projects.
IOCL tightens financial leash with full ABG on free-issue catalyst metals: But ambiguity remains
8Vendors must now furnish full-value ABGs even for IOCL-supplied precious metals—adding liquidity strain in an already stringent bid landscape.
8New guidelines allow merged entities to claim legacy experience—giving large groups more flexibility but raising due diligence for evaluation.
8But the tender skips clarity on post-use reclaim, wear loss expectations, or disposal obligations—potential cost flashpoints left vague.

Owner alters bid rules mid-course as electrolyser deadline shifts again
8MRPL’s green hydrogen tender is undergoing back-end reconfiguration amid tepid bidder alignment.
8The overhaul of the bid qualification matrix signals possible internal red flags—raising uncertainty for bidders who shaped proposals around the original criteria.
8A new evaluation matrix suggests either overly narrow earlier specs or post-facto bidder pressure—raising questions about internal decision flow.
8Delays and redrafts in India’s PSU-led hydrogen tenders point to a broader mismatch between policy speed and market maturity in green molecule projects.
BPCL tightens bid evaluation filters while rejecting calls for BOQ logic fixes at Bina ETP
8A second commercial amendment to BPCL’s effluent treatment plant tender redefines how total bid value is assessed, with power consumption, AMC charges, and custom duty present values added to the mix.
8The latest amendment introduces a multi-pronged cost evaluation model, including guaranteed power loadings and AMC for seven distinct equipment types—penalizing inefficient or underpriced O&M strategies.
8But pre-bid concerns over redundant AMC line items were left unaddressed, leaving usability gaps unresolved.
Segmented Timelines and PGTR Conditions Add Execution Risk to BPREP Water Block Tender
8Despite deadline extension, BPCL’s RWTP–RODMP–ZLDP package leaves key interconnection and payment conditions open-ended.
8Bidders face tight phase-wise milestones, capped PRS, and staggered O&M handovers.
8Bidders raised at least five discrepancies between equipment list and datasheets—raising red flags for procurement and installation sequencing.
8Despite initial confusion, clarification affirms that acid/caustic procurement is contractor’s reimbursable liability only for first year of O&M.
8Contradictory replies on condensate destination—cooling sump vs UF feed—highlighted by several vendors, but response deflects rather than resolves.

BoQ confusion or strategy? Rs 0 quote by Coperion in PLL tender raises eyebrows
Jun 12:
8In a rare pricing twist, Coperion quoted Rs 0 in one BoQ and over Rs 400 Cr in another—leaving Zeppelin to win with a bid nearly 60% lower.
8Was it a bid glitch or a deliberate pricing play?
8A zero-price quote could trigger disqualification, or signal strategic scope exclusion; evaluation clarity becomes critical in future EIL tenders.
8Meanwhile, industry observers watch closely whether the awarded scope can be profitably delivered at Zeppelin’s quoted rate.

Instrumentation erection work: NRL DCU revamp tender specifies end-to-end execution from impulse lines to loop checks
8Scope includes manifolds, tubing, stanchions, wiring, calibration, and compliance with a suite of international standards including API, ISA, and IS/IEC norms.
This Bina refinery project revisits compressor scope once again
8The project has been re-tendered as a first attempt failed
8The adequacy check and revamp of this special-purpose reciprocating compressor is under BPCL’s BPREP drive, hinting at tighter tech benchmarks.
8This suggest suggesting recalibration of deliverables in the aftermath of a pre-bid meeting.
Cooling tower tender sees O&M clause deepened, bid timeline pushed again
8EIL’s latest amendment for PLL’s PDH-PP cooling tower package not only extends bid timelines but also inserts a rigorous three-year O&M clause for chemical dosing systems—marking a clear shift toward contractor-side accountability.
8From PPEs to plant safety drills and even training PLL personnel, the revised clause reads like a compliance gauntlet for bidders rather than a mere tower scope.
8Miss a deadline? Get replaced. That’s the tone of EIL’s amendment, where even 48-hour lapses in compliance can invite client takeover at contractor’s cost.
BPCL’s Bina CBG Tender: Shifts in scope and relaxed benchmarks raise new questions for bidders
8The 15 TPD compressed biogas (CBG) project at BPCL Bina saw a flurry of extensions and clarifications that collectively widen bidder eligibility while tightening a few design and performance boundaries.
8Methane purity now allowed to dip below 97% briefly — a major concession likely reflecting ground-level feedstock variability.
8Equipment like shredder (75%), extruder (60%) and separator (65%) now have capped design efficiencies — a move to avoid exaggerated claims but one that compels overdesign.
8Hydrostatic testing revised from 2x to 1.5x design pressure — aligned with IS codes, but suggests industry feedback on over-stringent specs.
8Despite vendor suggestions to divert LFOM to farms, BPCL sticks to a full-fledged effluent treatment plant — showing zero tolerance on compliance risk.
8Is the project trending toward flexibility or complexity?
Double deadline shift raises red flags over vendor turnout for EIL’s OH6 pump tender at Dahej
8EIL’s decision to extend bid timelines twice without amending technical conditions hints at either bidder discomfort or internal reassessment over vendor eligibility.
8Qualification matrix for Indian subsidiaries of global OEMs remains a likely chokepoint.
8Also, the silence from EIL on technical queries suggests bidders may be submitting under uncertainty — a risky proposition for a high-head OH6 service scope

8This sharp spread hints at aggressive undercutting or unrealistic pricing.
Survey contracts go cheap: IOCLpipeline tender sees deep 37% underbid
8IOCL’s WRPL survey work has been awarded at nearly two-fifths below its own estimates, suggesting tightening margins or aggressive penetration strategies in the geotech consulting space.
8Despite a wide field of seven contenders, Swayin emerged as L1 for both groups, a rare sweep that indicates sharp pricing or pre-positioned familiarity with IOCL’s pipeline terrain.

OIL readies twin-pipeline health check using high-res MFL-A tech
8The proposed intelligent pigging campaign for two Assam crude pipelines will deploy high-resolution MFL-A tools with XYZ mapping, aiming to assess both external and internal metal loss across DDPL and PS6-BGR spur lines.
8Pipeline defects will be categorized by severity using ANSI B31G modified criteria, with recommended repairs aligned to maintaining 72% SMYS operational limits—offering bidders clarity on defect-response mapping.
OIL expands boots-on-ground vigilance over 153.5 km of Assam crude corridor
8A 3-year patrolling contract seeks to intensify field surveillance across pipeline stretches from PLKM 351 to 497, covering sensitive feeder and diversion lines with multi-frequency line walking.
GDU revamp targets methane cut via IG gas retrofit
8ONGC Hazira proposes stripping gas replacement in GDU trains, switching from methane-rich fuel gas to nitrogen-grade IG to curb fugitive emissions.
8With 1728–1920 nm³/day methane reduction expected, this upgrade aligns with India’s climate goals.
8Nine MDEA tanks across GSU trains will see a fuel-to-nitrogen gas switch for blanketing, addressing methane seepage risk and corrosion from oxygen ingress—paving way for tighter emission control.
8Steam tracing over CFU-71 to CFU-76 compressor suction lines aims to prevent hydrocarbon liquid entry. Dual-loop tracing with new insulation and traps at 8m height addresses past failures.

Fracking EOI deadline extended
Jun 11:
8The EOI for hydraulic fracturing under a “No Gain, No Pay” model now gives vendors more time to prepare submissions for a technically demanding, performance-tied project.
8The E&P owner plans to rejuvenate old wells through feasibility-driven fracturing—first evaluating 15 candidates and executing full-scale ops on 5 final picks.
8From CTU and NPU deployment to pressure logs and gain reports, bidders are expected to deliver end-to-end services with minimal hand holding.
8With DGMS, OMR, and performance-based clauses in place, only vendors with deep fracking portfolios, reliable rigs, and data modelling experience may qualify.
8Bidders must bring in modern, well-maintained fracturing fleets—signaling high technical scrutiny and stringent compliance filters.
8Final reports must show net pressure analysis, treatment curve matching, and production gain assessment—making engineering accuracy financially consequential.

Tight leash: BPCL mandates NABL lab tie-up and GPS site visit for Bhilai CBG tender
8Despite a modest project value, BPCL’s CBG Bhilai tender demands full NABL tie-up, site photographs, and exhaustive lab and field test compliance.
8Smaller players may find the entry barriers disproportionately high for the scope involved.
BPCL tightens grip: AFC piping risk tender allows no room for outsiders or MSMEs
8A rare no-CPBG, no-EMD risk assessment tender at Bina Refinery comes with a tightly drawn eligibility ring and zero relaxations for startups or MSMEs — all under a four-week dash to compliance.
Ethylene tankage: Bid deadline shifts thrice as EIL tweaks scope
8The package has seen three extensions, suggesting bidder unease or backroom re-tuning.
8But INR pricing for all imports reduces forex exposure but risks bidder discomfort, especially among global tank suppliers.

8The good part is steel input costs will be cushioned
Third deadline extension flags bidder strain in EIL’s electric heater tender for Dahej PDH-PP
8Multiple bid extensions in the EIL electric heater tender for the PDH-PP project at Dahej highlight vendor struggles — from NDA access delays to documentation bottlenecks under tight UOP technology protocols.
8EIL’s firm insistence on zero deviations contrasts with three successive deadline extensions — a sign that procedural rigidity met real-world compliance friction.
8With process tech governed by UOP, even minor design access needed tight licensing clearance — adding unseen layers to a supposedly limited-scope heater package.
Centrifugal pumps for bio-ATF plant: Bidder unease over abrasive specs and vague fluid data
8Three extensions hint at hesitation over solids-heavy pump duties and incomplete upstream information.
8Pump rated flow of 9.52 m³/hr proposed by vendor was dismissed, with EIL insisting on base spec of 4+MCF, reinforcing strict adherence to design basis.
8Despite pump model dependency, EIL has deferred crucial particle size and density data until post-award, shifting design liability to vendors.
8Repeated queries on operating pressure/temperature for CW and N? utilities remain unanswered, leaving design scope partially open-ended.
8Despite confirming API-610 rules, EIL’s silence on full acceptability of non-metallic impeller wear rings opens room for post-bid disputes.
Strict NDA bottleneck delays document access in IOCL’s Paradip polypropylene expansion EPCC tender
8Only Stage-1 qualified bidders are eligible, but even they face gated access to bidding documents unless they clear a rigid NDA protocol.
8The dual-layered secrecy clause involving IOCL and Basell could delay bid readiness and deter aggressive quoting.
8While IOCL ruled out reverse auction, power and steam consumption guarantees and loading clauses tilt risk toward bidders.
8The use of Spheripol process and associated catalyst technology attracts high control, possibly limiting newcomer participation.
EIL holds firm on non-negotiable fitting specs as BPCL’s Bina tender sparks bidder pushback
8Despite repeated vendor queries, EIL refused to revise oversized tee and reducer dimensions, citing adherence to legacy standards.
8Raw material flexibility granted, but dimensional rigidity may impact fabrication timelines and participation.

Full house: All eight desalter bidders technically qualify for Bina refinery package
8BPCL’s high-stakes desalter tender saw 100% technical clearance with all eight bidders qualifying, suggesting strong vendor familiarity with electrostatic desalter specs and EIL’s evaluation rigour.
8Bid specs demand vendors meet outlet salt, BS&W, and OIW limits under two distinct feed cases—705 m³/hr at API 33.8 and 747 m³/hr at API 42—raising design complexity for universal compliance.
8EIL has retained tough output limits of 0.5 ptb for salt and 0.2 vol% for BS&W, despite industry feedback on varying feed conditions and wash water temperature dependencies.
8A technical amendment revised material specs, mandating SS410S for non-proprietary internals while allowing SS405 for piping, balancing corrosion resistance with cost rationalization.

Sad day for Indian LNG industry-I: It is handcuffed now
Jun 13:
It is a sad day indeed for the LNG industry today.
From being lightly regulated, the pendulum has swung to over-regulated
The law has come into effect. Here is what will happen now
8PNGRB Draws the Line: Registration Now Mandatory for All LNG Terminals
Both upcoming and operational terminals must file for registration under the 2025 rulebook, with strict timelines and structured oversight now in force.
8From Advisory to Mandate: PNGRB Puts LNG Operators on Regulatory Clock
The June 12 notice confirms that operators must act within 45 days—marking the shift from consultation to enforcement.
8LNG Terminal Licences Capped at 30 Years Under PNGRB’s New Regime
Registrations will be valid for three decades from the date of commissioning or certificate issuance—extensions will follow a 10-year block model.
8Business Plans Now a Precondition for LNG Terminal Approvals
No FID without a credible business and evacuation plan—project proponents must now prove market linkage and utilization up front.
8Bank Guarantees, Penalties, and Oversight: PNGRB Reshapes Terminal Accountability
With Rs 25 crore bank guarantees and up to 5% penalties for delays, the regulator now has teeth to enforce compliance.
8Industry Said Overreach—PNGRB Went Ahead Anyway
Despite sharp resistance from Shell, Petronet, and Adani Total, the Board has enforced the full regulation set without amendment.
8Underutilisation Drives New Oversight on LNG Terminal Capacity Planning
PNGRB’s push for pre-FID scrutiny and evacuation linkage appears aimed at correcting chronic underuse of existing infrastructure.

Sad day for Indian LNG industry-II: Is the PNGRB a gatekeeper or is it trying to protect someone?
Jun 13:
PNGRB’s new LNG terminal regulations may look like reform, but industry insiders see a different picture—one where opaque approvals, performance bonds, and mandatory disclosures could act as covert deterrents to new entrants, ultimately shielding existing operators from fresh competition.

Indian green steel mandate: Hijacked by steel companies
Jun 13:
It is a fraud instituted at the behest of deep-pocketed companies
And India risks reputational damage and procurement exclusion.
And that is so is being singled out by everyone
8A green badge for brown steel?
India’s new taxonomy caps emissions at 2.2 tCO? per tonne of finished steel—high enough to include some of the most carbon-intensive producers globally. It’s not a leap forward, it’s a rebranding.
8When low ambition becomes national policy
While global buyers demand cradle-to-gate carbon data, India’s “green” steel could still pollute at levels seen in aging blast furnace setups.
8A missed opportunity to lead
Instead of aligning with global decarbonization trajectories, India has chosen the path of least resistance—creating a domestic comfort zone that may stifle global competitiveness.
8Star-rated but stranded
The government’s 3- to 5-star classification system gives every steelmaker a shot at being “green”—but in global markets, even 5-star Indian steel may not qualify for procurement in public projects.
8A climate shield or a trade barrier?
By setting a high emissions threshold and ignoring full-scope lifecycle emissions, India’s green steel definition may eventually clash with CBAM-style import restrictions abroad.
8More branding, less carbon-cutting
There’s no mandate for lifecycle assessments, minimal scope 3 accounting, and limited verification. In its current form, India’s green steel tag is more about optics than impact.
8Green by decree, not by data
Unlike ResponsibleSteel or GSCC, India’s standard does not yet require independent third-party audits or full EPD disclosure—raising questions about the credibility of the certification itself.

IOCL locks CRZ risk on single consultant for NAOB Rambili hydrocarbon hub: Dangerous precedent?
8In a no-contest single-tender, IOCL hands the entire compliance burden—including public hearing representation and CRZ documentation to this consultancy, under a tight 30-day schedule and fixed fee model.
8The point to note is that if this model succeeds, more IOCL environmental approvals may be routed via the contractor, reshaping the role of independent NABET firms in CRZ-heavy projects.
IOCL tightens financial leash with full ABG on free-issue catalyst metals: But ambiguity remains
8Vendors must now furnish full-value ABGs even for IOCL-supplied precious metals—adding liquidity strain in an already stringent bid landscape.
8New guidelines allow merged entities to claim legacy experience—giving large groups more flexibility but raising due diligence for evaluation.
8But the tender skips clarity on post-use reclaim, wear loss expectations, or disposal obligations—potential cost flashpoints left vague.

Owner alters bid rules mid-course as electrolyser deadline shifts again
8MRPL’s green hydrogen tender is undergoing back-end reconfiguration amid tepid bidder alignment.
8The overhaul of the bid qualification matrix signals possible internal red flags—raising uncertainty for bidders who shaped proposals around the original criteria.
8A new evaluation matrix suggests either overly narrow earlier specs or post-facto bidder pressure—raising questions about internal decision flow.
8Delays and redrafts in India’s PSU-led hydrogen tenders point to a broader mismatch between policy speed and market maturity in green molecule projects.
BPCL tightens bid evaluation filters while rejecting calls for BOQ logic fixes at Bina ETP
8A second commercial amendment to BPCL’s effluent treatment plant tender redefines how total bid value is assessed, with power consumption, AMC charges, and custom duty present values added to the mix.
8The latest amendment introduces a multi-pronged cost evaluation model, including guaranteed power loadings and AMC for seven distinct equipment types—penalizing inefficient or underpriced O&M strategies.
8But pre-bid concerns over redundant AMC line items were left unaddressed, leaving usability gaps unresolved.
Segmented Timelines and PGTR Conditions Add Execution Risk to BPREP Water Block Tender
8Despite deadline extension, BPCL’s RWTP–RODMP–ZLDP package leaves key interconnection and payment conditions open-ended.
8Bidders face tight phase-wise milestones, capped PRS, and staggered O&M handovers.
8Bidders raised at least five discrepancies between equipment list and datasheets—raising red flags for procurement and installation sequencing.
8Despite initial confusion, clarification affirms that acid/caustic procurement is contractor’s reimbursable liability only for first year of O&M.
8Contradictory replies on condensate destination—cooling sump vs UF feed—highlighted by several vendors, but response deflects rather than resolves.

BoQ confusion or strategy? Rs 0 quote by Coperion in PLL tender raises eyebrows
Jun 12:
8In a rare pricing twist, Coperion quoted Rs 0 in one BoQ and over Rs 400 Cr in another—leaving Zeppelin to win with a bid nearly 60% lower.
8Was it a bid glitch or a deliberate pricing play?
8A zero-price quote could trigger disqualification, or signal strategic scope exclusion; evaluation clarity becomes critical in future EIL tenders.
8Meanwhile, industry observers watch closely whether the awarded scope can be profitably delivered at Zeppelin’s quoted rate.

Instrumentation erection work: NRL DCU revamp tender specifies end-to-end execution from impulse lines to loop checks
8Scope includes manifolds, tubing, stanchions, wiring, calibration, and compliance with a suite of international standards including API, ISA, and IS/IEC norms.
This Bina refinery project revisits compressor scope once again
8The project has been re-tendered as a first attempt failed
8The adequacy check and revamp of this special-purpose reciprocating compressor is under BPCL’s BPREP drive, hinting at tighter tech benchmarks.
8This suggest suggesting recalibration of deliverables in the aftermath of a pre-bid meeting.
Cooling tower tender sees O&M clause deepened, bid timeline pushed again
8EIL’s latest amendment for PLL’s PDH-PP cooling tower package not only extends bid timelines but also inserts a rigorous three-year O&M clause for chemical dosing systems—marking a clear shift toward contractor-side accountability.
8From PPEs to plant safety drills and even training PLL personnel, the revised clause reads like a compliance gauntlet for bidders rather than a mere tower scope.
8Miss a deadline? Get replaced. That’s the tone of EIL’s amendment, where even 48-hour lapses in compliance can invite client takeover at contractor’s cost.
BPCL’s Bina CBG Tender: Shifts in scope and relaxed benchmarks raise new questions for bidders
8The 15 TPD compressed biogas (CBG) project at BPCL Bina saw a flurry of extensions and clarifications that collectively widen bidder eligibility while tightening a few design and performance boundaries.
8Methane purity now allowed to dip below 97% briefly — a major concession likely reflecting ground-level feedstock variability.
8Equipment like shredder (75%), extruder (60%) and separator (65%) now have capped design efficiencies — a move to avoid exaggerated claims but one that compels overdesign.
8Hydrostatic testing revised from 2x to 1.5x design pressure — aligned with IS codes, but suggests industry feedback on over-stringent specs.
8Despite vendor suggestions to divert LFOM to farms, BPCL sticks to a full-fledged effluent treatment plant — showing zero tolerance on compliance risk.
8Is the project trending toward flexibility or complexity?
Double deadline shift raises red flags over vendor turnout for EIL’s OH6 pump tender at Dahej
8EIL’s decision to extend bid timelines twice without amending technical conditions hints at either bidder discomfort or internal reassessment over vendor eligibility.
8Qualification matrix for Indian subsidiaries of global OEMs remains a likely chokepoint.
8Also, the silence from EIL on technical queries suggests bidders may be submitting under uncertainty — a risky proposition for a high-head OH6 service scope

OIL readies twin-pipeline health check using high-res MFL-A tech
8The proposed intelligent pigging campaign for two Assam crude pipelines will deploy high-resolution MFL-A tools with XYZ mapping, aiming to assess both external and internal metal loss across DDPL and PS6-BGR spur lines.
8Pipeline defects will be categorized by severity using ANSI B31G modified criteria, with recommended repairs aligned to maintaining 72% SMYS operational limits—offering bidders clarity on defect-response mapping.
OIL expands boots-on-ground vigilance over 153.5 km of Assam crude corridor
8A 3-year patrolling contract seeks to intensify field surveillance across pipeline stretches from PLKM 351 to 497, covering sensitive feeder and diversion lines with multi-frequency line walking.
GDU revamp targets methane cut via IG gas retrofit
8ONGC Hazira proposes stripping gas replacement in GDU trains, switching from methane-rich fuel gas to nitrogen-grade IG to curb fugitive emissions.
8With 1728–1920 nm³/day methane reduction expected, this upgrade aligns with India’s climate goals.
8Nine MDEA tanks across GSU trains will see a fuel-to-nitrogen gas switch for blanketing, addressing methane seepage risk and corrosion from oxygen ingress—paving way for tighter emission control.
8Steam tracing over CFU-71 to CFU-76 compressor suction lines aims to prevent hydrocarbon liquid entry. Dual-loop tracing with new insulation and traps at 8m height addresses past failures.

Jun 11:
8The EOI for hydraulic fracturing under a “No Gain, No Pay” model now gives vendors more time to prepare submissions for a technically demanding, performance-tied project.
8The E&P owner plans to rejuvenate old wells through feasibility-driven fracturing—first evaluating 15 candidates and executing full-scale ops on 5 final picks.
8From CTU and NPU deployment to pressure logs and gain reports, bidders are expected to deliver end-to-end services with minimal hand holding.
8With DGMS, OMR, and performance-based clauses in place, only vendors with deep fracking portfolios, reliable rigs, and data modelling experience may qualify.
8Bidders must bring in modern, well-maintained fracturing fleets—signaling high technical scrutiny and stringent compliance filters.
8Final reports must show net pressure analysis, treatment curve matching, and production gain assessment—making engineering accuracy financially consequential.

Tight leash: BPCL mandates NABL lab tie-up and GPS site visit for Bhilai CBG tender
8Despite a modest project value, BPCL’s CBG Bhilai tender demands full NABL tie-up, site photographs, and exhaustive lab and field test compliance.
8Smaller players may find the entry barriers disproportionately high for the scope involved.
BPCL tightens grip: AFC piping risk tender allows no room for outsiders or MSMEs
8A rare no-CPBG, no-EMD risk assessment tender at Bina Refinery comes with a tightly drawn eligibility ring and zero relaxations for startups or MSMEs — all under a four-week dash to compliance.
Ethylene tankage: Bid deadline shifts thrice as EIL tweaks scope
8The package has seen three extensions, suggesting bidder unease or backroom re-tuning.
8But INR pricing for all imports reduces forex exposure but risks bidder discomfort, especially among global tank suppliers.

Third deadline extension flags bidder strain in EIL’s electric heater tender for Dahej PDH-PP
8Multiple bid extensions in the EIL electric heater tender for the PDH-PP project at Dahej highlight vendor struggles — from NDA access delays to documentation bottlenecks under tight UOP technology protocols.
8EIL’s firm insistence on zero deviations contrasts with three successive deadline extensions — a sign that procedural rigidity met real-world compliance friction.
8With process tech governed by UOP, even minor design access needed tight licensing clearance — adding unseen layers to a supposedly limited-scope heater package.
Centrifugal pumps for bio-ATF plant: Bidder unease over abrasive specs and vague fluid data
8Three extensions hint at hesitation over solids-heavy pump duties and incomplete upstream information.
8Pump rated flow of 9.52 m³/hr proposed by vendor was dismissed, with EIL insisting on base spec of 4+MCF, reinforcing strict adherence to design basis.
8Despite pump model dependency, EIL has deferred crucial particle size and density data until post-award, shifting design liability to vendors.
8Repeated queries on operating pressure/temperature for CW and N? utilities remain unanswered, leaving design scope partially open-ended.
8Despite confirming API-610 rules, EIL’s silence on full acceptability of non-metallic impeller wear rings opens room for post-bid disputes.
Strict NDA bottleneck delays document access in IOCL’s Paradip polypropylene expansion EPCC tender
8Only Stage-1 qualified bidders are eligible, but even they face gated access to bidding documents unless they clear a rigid NDA protocol.
8The dual-layered secrecy clause involving IOCL and Basell could delay bid readiness and deter aggressive quoting.
8While IOCL ruled out reverse auction, power and steam consumption guarantees and loading clauses tilt risk toward bidders.
8The use of Spheripol process and associated catalyst technology attracts high control, possibly limiting newcomer participation.
EIL holds firm on non-negotiable fitting specs as BPCL’s Bina tender sparks bidder pushback
8Despite repeated vendor queries, EIL refused to revise oversized tee and reducer dimensions, citing adherence to legacy standards.
8Raw material flexibility granted, but dimensional rigidity may impact fabrication timelines and participation.

Full house: All eight desalter bidders technically qualify for Bina refinery package
8BPCL’s high-stakes desalter tender saw 100% technical clearance with all eight bidders qualifying, suggesting strong vendor familiarity with electrostatic desalter specs and EIL’s evaluation rigour.
8Bid specs demand vendors meet outlet salt, BS&W, and OIW limits under two distinct feed cases—705 m³/hr at API 33.8 and 747 m³/hr at API 42—raising design complexity for universal compliance.
8EIL has retained tough output limits of 0.5 ptb for salt and 0.2 vol% for BS&W, despite industry feedback on varying feed conditions and wash water temperature dependencies.
8A technical amendment revised material specs, mandating SS410S for non-proprietary internals while allowing SS405 for piping, balancing corrosion resistance with cost rationalization.
