1) ONGC Hazira ARC corrigendum pushes customs duty to 18% and stretches bid security window for valve servicing and fabrication contract
8ONGC’s Hazira ARC looked like a conventional three-year pipe and valve maintenance contract until the latest corrigendum rewrote its fiscal and bid-security assumptions.
8List-33 imports now carry 18% IGST and bid guarantees must stay live 45 days beyond bid validity, forcing contractors to rethink pricing and banking limits.
8How bidders rebalance foreign content, working capital and risk appetite under these new rules will decide who stays in the race.
2) OIL’s well servicing corrigendum trades extra CT maintenance headroom for a hard line on penalties and force majeure
8Oil india’s latest corrigenda quietly reshape the economics of its four-year coiled tubing and nitrogen package without touching the headline scope.
8Maintenance and operating-charge tweaks look friendly on paper, but the penalty spine and force majeure economics remain stubbornly intact.
8Whether bidders see this as a workable compromise or a one-sided risk transfer will only become clear when the technical bids open.
3) ONGC bolts a stricter PoA and EMD-exemption regime onto its Aframax tanker charter
8ONGC’s first corrigendum on its Aframax tanker hire never touches the hull or the SBM, but rewrites who can sign the bid and who can skip EMD.
8A granular power of attorney rulebook and a re-framed exemption clause now sit between tanker owners and a Rs 84.50 lakh security demand.
8How comfortably the marine market lives with this heavier governance layer will show up in who actually turns up to bid.
4) Second date extension and consortium U-turn reshape ONGC’s Rajahmundry LTSOBM mud-plant hire
8ONGC has quietly turned a routine LTSOBM hire into a four-month-delayed, consortium-friendly HPHT services test for Rajahmundry.
8Behind the fresh 01 December bid deadline sit tougher labour and inventory obligations, new financial evidence rules and a partial pull-back of environmental risk.
8Whether serious mud-engineering players see this as an opportunity or an over-engineered gauntlet will only become clear when the December bids open.
5) Oil India’s Rajasthan cementing-BHP tender buys 77 more days of bid time without loosening the technical screws.
8Oil India has quietly pushed its Rajasthan cementing and BHP tender closing from mid-September to 28 November 2025, stretching the bidding horizon by 77 days.
8The scope and securities stay just as demanding, but bidders now face a much longer period of price and EMD exposure on a high-temperature CSS job.
8Whether this extra time widens the field or merely prolongs a tight race is what the market will be watching.

8ONGC’s latest 1000 HP mobile-rig tender for Ahmedabad and Mehsana has quietly slid from an August to a December bid closing, even as customs duty on key imports jumps to 18%.
8Behind the new 01 December 2025 deadline sit stricter OEM-only BOP rules, SWMS labour tracking and day-rate caps that refuse to budge, despite sustained bidder pushback.
8The real contest now is whether enough serious drillers will still price in four high-spec rigs under this risk-heavy template — or whether ONGC will discover the limits of its new rig-hiring philosophy.

8Oil India’s Agartala CBG tender has quietly changed more on paper than on process.
8A chain of eight corrigenda now defines who can bid, how long they must support spares, and how long Rs 2.16 crore of EMD stays locked.
8The plant design stays ambitious at 160 TPD, but the real test is whether this new balance of risk and obligation brings enough serious EPCOM players to the line.

8ONGC’s first corrigendum on its three-year MUV charter barely touches the vessel but rewrites the rules around who can sign, how long securities must run, and how force majeure works.
8EMD-exempt bidders gain liquidity relief on paper but now face a two-year ban threat under a new bid securing declaration regime.
8How marine operators price these tighter governance and risk settings will decide whether this charter stays competitive or narrows to only the most compliant and well-banked players.

1) Two offshore specialists clear ONGC western offshore crane O&M as consumables-heavy clarifications narrow the participating bidder field.
8ONGC’s western offshore crane O&M tender has moved past the initial filters with just two qualified bidders standing and one disqualified.
8Behind that simple line-up sits a dense web of clarifications on mobilisation, consumables and logistics that ONGC has largely refused to soften.
8The real question now is how Oil States and Spectrum will price and execute a contract where much of the operational risk is locked in, but some of the largest liabilities are still to be negotiated post-award.
2) Eleven local transporters crowd into ONGC Assam Asset crude tanker hire
8ONGC Assam Asset’s crude tanker tender has drawn eleven bidders, from individual operators to small enterprises, vying for a three-year foothold.
8While the participant list looks competitive, the only visible clarification is a tax-side corrigendum that lifts concessional duty and GST references to 18% and pushes compliance risk firmly onto contractors.
8The unresolved question is how many of these bidders can price and execute under a framework where ONGC keeps the work flexible but the financial and regulatory exposures largely non-negotiable.
3) Two specialist bidders line up for ONGC Cambay Asset’s mobile pumping unit hire
8ONGC Cambay Asset’s nine-month MPU hire has drawn a focused two-bidder field in Deval Energy Resources and Suresh Oilfield Units and Maintenance Co.
8The tender’s bid-stage rules make it clear that post-participation clarifications can tidy documents but cannot soften experience thresholds, ownership proofs or statutory obligations.
8What remains to be seen is which bidder can walk that narrow compliance line without losing pricing headroom on a technically demanding effluent disposal job.
4) Oil India’s well servicing ARC amendment resets EMD slab and extends GeM bid timeline to 2 December 2025 for Assam & Arunachal
8Oil India has quietly redrawn the financial entry ticket for its flagship well servicing ARC in Assam and Arunachal.
8A new EMD slab now distinguishes between two-set and three-set bidders, and the bid window has been pushed out by 15 days.
8Behind those simple changes lies a deliberate reshaping of who can realistically compete for four years of CTU/NPU/FPU work.
5) ONGC stretches bid-security buffers and tightens PoA and BSD rules in Hazira fabrication and valve-servicing ARC corrigenda
8ONGC’s Hazira ARC corrigenda do not change the work, they change the rules of engagement.
8Bid-security instruments now run longer, exempt bidders must sign up to a two-year ban risk, and only perfectly documented PoA and BEC trails will make the cut.
8The real question is how many serious fabrication and valve-service contractors are ready to live with that level of front-loaded discipline.

1) GAIL filters bidder field sharply in PMC tender for Bengaluru CBG plant
8GAIL’s technical-bid scrutiny for the 12.6 TPD CBG plant in Bengaluru left only two of four bidders in contention. High TPD-based experience thresholds and strict document authentication shaped the qualification outcome. The deeper implications emerge only when the clause-level structure is mapped against GAIL’s tightening procurement discipline.
2) MRPL aromatic complex shortlists five bidders for instrumentation services contract
8MRPL has advanced its two-year instrumentation services tender with five bidders clearing technical evaluation. The contract’s structure places significant cost-absorption and mobilisation responsibilities on the contractor while retaining SOR-based measurability for installation work. Commercial stakes now shift to the financial bid stage, where floor-price controls and labour-risk allocation will shape competitiveness

1) BPCL Kochi refinery issues three-year rate contract tender for heat exchanger jobs in zone-2
8BPCL has opened a three-year mechanical maintenance tender for exchanger works across high-pressure and multi-metallurgy equipment in Zone-2. The scope brings welding, testing, blasting, seal-welds, and full overhauling under one consolidated rate contract. The implications for vendor capability, pricing discipline, and reliability standards sit behind the paywall.
2) BPCL invites two-part bids for full-scope VDU heater revamp with metallurgy upgrade and modularized execution at Mumbai Refinery
8VDU Heater Revamp tender BPCL’s latest heater-revamp tender introduces a complete redesign of radiant supports, coil additions, and structural modifications. The shutdown-compressed execution model demands modular fabrication and extensive QA/QC staffing. How these requirements shift cost, risk, and bidder eligibility becomes central to understanding this package.
3) MRPL’s JNPA ATF-storage tender sets high technical bar with NMIA pipeline mandate
8MRPL’s new ATF terminal tender at JNPA introduces unusually strict aviation-grade requirements. The document embeds mandatory pipeline linkage to the upcoming NMIA system, shifting interface risk onto the contractor. Several clauses raise the compliance threshold in ways not typically seen in tank-hiring tenders.

1) BPCL revises key clauses and removes all securities in Project Indus due diligence tender
8BPCL’s latest corrigendum for Project Indus reshapes both the technical and commercial architecture of the due-diligence tender. Expanded land-risk language and solar-plus-wind scope shift expectations for consultants. But the complete withdrawal of EMD, SD, LD and PBG raises sharper questions about BPCL’s evolving procurement posture.
2) BPCL BPREP centrifugal compressor tender sees six extensions to mid-November
8BPCL’s hydrogen-service centrifugal compressor package has undergone an unusually long chain of bid-deadline extensions. The delays highlight the burden of API-617 PQC and multi-OEM documentation cycles. What this means for competition and ordering timelines sits behind the paywall.
3) GGL pushes solar EPC bid deadline five times amid bidder hesitation —12 MW captive project.
8GGL’s 12 MW captive solar tender has undergone five deadline extensions, signalling deeper concerns among EPC bidders. The unchanged PQC, 66 kV evacuation requirement, and land-on-lease model appear to have constrained participation. The extensions provide time, but not structural relief.
4) BPCL updates IEM panel for PRFCCU pipeline rerouting tender in Mumbai
8BPCL has issued a governance-layer correction to its PRFCCU pipeline rerouting tender by updating the list of Independent External Monitors. No technical or commercial clauses have been altered, leaving the core scope and risk structure fully intact. The pre-bid record confirms firm adherence to BQC, PBG and TPI requirements. Corrigendum-1 contains no technical deltas despite a very large inch-dia workload. Bidders must therefore interpret SOR items as originally published. The lack of revision indicates BPCL’s confidence in the issued engineering package.
5) IOCL extends bid deadline for EC & CRZ reimbursement tender at Hope Town
8A short 10-day extension has been issued for the single-tender involving EC and CRZ reimbursement linked to the Hope Town gas infrastructure plan. The move signals IOCL’s preference for procedural completeness despite the absence of competition. Why the extension matters for the Island project’s regulatory timeline remains behind the paywall

8BPCL and EIL have locked nearly all licensor deviations while selectively expanding vendor choice for the TEAL system. The pre-bid responses signal a strict, data-centric approach to BEDP accuracy, utility design pressures, and downstream integration. But the rigid stance also reshapes risk distribution, pushing licensors into firmer commitments earlier in the cycle.

8A blanket ban on sub-contracting, new mobilisation-deferment rights and milestone-loaded payment terms quietly redraw who carries readiness, liquidity and compliance risk offshore.
8Whether this becomes the standard template for ONGC’s future HPHT O&M tenders—or remains a high-stakes experiment—will depend on how this contract performs under real-world pressure.

8HPCL’s Lube Modernization and Bottoms Upgradation project has quietly turned its vertical SPP pump package into a test case for hard-wired energy guarantees. The tender forces bidders to file a separate, price-sensitive bid just for guaranteed shaft power, with life-cycle loading and penalties tied directly to those numbers. How that two-ID structure plays out in practice will determine whether this becomes a one-off experiment or a new template for critical rotating equipment.

1) ONGC Cambay civil ARC loads quality policing and high experience bar onto a three-year workover rig support contract
8ONGC’s new Cambay civil ARC looks like a routine enabling contract until you read how the experience bar, LD and third-party inspection fit together.
8Behind the three-year workover-support scope sits a 3% performance security, a year-long defect liability tail and a ban on sub-contracting that quietly narrows the field.
8Whether civil players price this as a stable multi-site service business or a high-risk, high-compliance trap is what this tender will ultimately reveal.
2) ONGC hard-wires OEM-backed, OISD-189 compliant fire protection into its onshore drilling and workover rigs through a GeM-routed multi-asset tender
8ONGC is not just buying pumps and pipes; it is buying an entire mobile fire-protection architecture that must travel with each rig and perform on command.
8The tender forces firefighting OEMs to guarantee 10 years of spares, service and AMC readiness while subjecting their past performance to TPIA scrutiny.
8How the market prices this blend of strict safety performance, industrial-policy content rules and reverse-auction pressure is where the real story begins.
3) ONGC Assam tests dual-mode Caterpillar–BHEL rig sets as synchronous condensers through an exploratory engine–alternator retrofit EOI.
8ONGC Assam Asset is asking an unusual question of its rig power trains: can a conventional Caterpillar–BHEL engine–alternator set be turned into a part-time synchronous condenser.
8The EOI puts air-cooled clutches, flexible couplings and advanced control schemes on the table, but leaves all commercial cards face down.
8How vendors respond to this mix of mechanical retrofits, digital control and long-term support expectations will decide whether the idea stays a concept note or becomes a pilot rig.
4) SR Engineers wins Rs 3.42 crore online leak sealing ARC
8The real story sits in the fine print.
8Behind the award is a web of IS/OISD-anchored technical requirements that quietly reshape who can even enter the race.
8Whether this becomes a model for how ONGC buys high-risk services under stricter policy compliance will depend on how the contract performs in the field.
5) Krishna Antioxidants captures Kathana PPD board-purchase as ONGC Cambay trades higher lab governance for a softer 3% bond
8ONGC Cambay has quietly locked Kathana’s pour-point risk into a single L1 supplier, but the real story sits in the fine print.
8A pre-screened three-manufacturer pool, lot-wise LD and lab-driven acceptance give the chemist more power than the price committee.
