This PNGRB is an entity that we like, it is always up to something or other. Well meaning? Yes the intent is right but they do not get it right most of the time. The depth is shallow, but they will learn it the hard way. like us doing this job for four decades, we learnt it the hard way how it all functions, eventually. Here are a set of new things they are trying and this is what we have to say: 8PNGRB’s “unified tariff” push risks igniting new regional fault lines in gas pricing As the Board pushes for "One Nation, One Tariff", producers near gas sources may lose competitive advantage, triggering regional tensions. 8Gas exchange dreams or market makeover mirage? PNGRB’s global ambitions under scrutiny Aiming to build a global-standard gas exchange, PNGRB faces serious liquidity and participation gaps at home. 8India’s gas regulator wants hydrogen pipelines before the molecule itself With no commercial hydrogen flows yet, PNGRB is drafting pipeline standards and blending norms—risking overreach. 8From tariffs to transmission: PNGRB readies blueprint for unbundling the gas monopoly Plans for an independent transmission operator mark the correct shift—but legacy players may resist hard. 8CBG rollout meets pipe reality: PNGRB sets 130-plant hook-up target—but who’ll pay? The regulator wants full CGD connectivity for CBG plants, but funding and pipeline ownership remain in limbo. 8Pipeline push to defence and NEZs: Will fast-tracked gas access outrun demand? PNGRB eyes PSUs, refineries, and industrial clusters for rapid pipeline expansion—but demand-side viability is unclear. 8India’s gas regulator wants to rate its own: sector awards to be handed out by PNGRB itself A self-declared 'excellence program' raises eyebrows—can a regulator credibly award the entities it polices? 8Penalty provisions get teeth: PNGRB plans tougher safety rules in line with global norms New T4S and ERDMP reforms may finally bring meaningful deterrents, targeting long-ignored compliance gaps. 8India’s LNG strategy goes micro: PNGRB bats for SSLNG, flex stations and island coverage Plans for decentralised LNG distribution could disrupt the gas logistics map—but real execution may prove tougher. 8Legal division on overdrive: PNGRB to draft consumer and data protection norms for gas sector New regulations aim to standardize data collection and empower gas consumers—adding regulatory complexity to operators. 8Co-retailing plan to blur lines between gas and oil retail? By pushing to allow diesel and petrol sales at CNG stations, PNGRB may trigger fresh turf battles in retail. 8POL logistics gets a national plan—but will anyone stick to it? The proposed national distribution logistics roadmap for petroleum products lacks clarity on enforcement and inter-agency buy-in. 8Smart meters, smart stoves, and smart delays?

OIL’s 2000 HP rig tender clocks 9th extension: Lack of bidder traction or prep-time crunch? 8OIL’s high-stakes 6-year charter rig hire tender has now seen 9 extensions, pushing bid deadlines from February to mid-July. 8With no changes to technical or commercial clauses, the delays suggest either tepid bidder response or serious prep bottlenecks on the contractor side. 8Is this now the new normal for large-scale rig tenders with longer duration tenure? Tender extended amid compliance tightening: ONGC pushes vessel bid deadline to 10 July 8ONGC has extended the submission deadline for its 13-vessel charter tender to 10 July 2025, giving bidders time to adapt to a stricter “firm availability” mandate. 8The extension follows Corrigendum No. 2, which removed all scope for provisional or subject-to-availability vessels.

PNGRB's Cherlapally–Nagpur LPG line: Rs 30 crore entry fee raises threshold bar 8The regulator’s suo motu bid for the 453?km LPG pipeline sets an unusually high Rs 30 crore application fee and Rs 8 crore bid bond, effectively limiting participation to cash-rich players and signaling a shift toward tighter financial gatekeeping in pipeline authorizations. PNGRB opens bidding for LPG pipeline: Zero-deviation norms, entry fee raise industry eyebrows 8A 508?km LPG pipeline from Shikrapur to Goa & Hubli is now up for grabs—but with an unusually steep application fee and a strict no-deviation policy, PNGRB may be narrowing the field more than intended. High financial barrier, zero deviation stance: PNGRB sets tough terms for Gwalior–Sitarganj LPG pipeline 8With Rs 40 lakh non-refundable fee, Rs 8 crore bid bond, and a 0.60?MMTPA year-one capacity demand, PNGRB’s latest pipeline tender filters out smaller players, pushing for early commissioning and financial muscle.

PLL’s Dahej polypropylene upstream EPC sees timeline pushed amid risk-heavy terms and muted pre-bid response 8Despite multiple extensions and a high-profile promoter, EIL’s EPC tender for PLL’s polypropylene upstream section remains bidder-cautious. 8Key risks lie in free-issue equipment liabilities, extended performance guarantees, and one-sided arbitration clauses—none addressed in corrigenda or pre-bid.

BPCL’s Bina compressor tender quietly sizes for 1500 kTA—but bids to be benchmarked at 1200 kTA 8Vendors in BPCL’s Bina expansion face a classic compression dilemma: engineer for higher load but bid at guaranteed specs.
