1) Integrum wins GAIL’s 170 MW Maharashtra wind EPC award after wide multi-bid spread
8GAIL has finalised Integrum Energy as L1 for its 170 MW captive wind project after a sharply divergent financial contest. The tender closed with the widest L1–L3 spread seen in recent PSU wind procurements, reflecting fundamentally different cost assumptions among bidders. Key contractual obligations now shift to execution, NIWE-validated AEP compliance, and multi-site land readiness.
 
2) Kalinga Insulation wins CPP shutdown package at IOCL Paradip Refinery
8IOCL has finalised the shutdown insulation and IBR/CIBI package for its Paradip CPP after a two-horse financial round. The price gap between L1 and L2 remained a moderate 3.6%, pointing to a stable contractor landscape. The full implications for cost control and shutdown reliability emerge only when the clause-level picture is examined.

8A six-way technically qualified field narrowed to an aggressive L1 that undercut the top quote by over 70 percent. IOCL’s insistence on strict PQC and an 18-month performance guarantee shaped both participation and pricing behaviour. The award underscores the growing divide between boutique engineering firms and large EPCM houses in refinery consultancy bids.

8A very technically dense project was put together
8But it turned out to be a paper tiger

Details
8A series of clarifications and technical amendments fundamentally altered the package design, from header sizing to hazardous-area electrical requirements. Vendors repeatedly flagged missing documents, scope conflicts, and interface risks. By the final extension, the package conditions had diverged enough for MRPL to withdraw the tender altogether.

1) NRL tightens commissioning-manpower regime as technical bids open for PRU–GDS instrumentation package
8NRL’s EPCM-1 instrumentation tender has moved into its evaluation phase with four established bidders in the fray. A series of addenda have reshaped manpower, supervision and qualification rules far more deeply than usual for a mid-cycle tender. The implications now sit squarely in how commissioning reliability and bidder pricing discipline will be judged.
 
2) NRL tightens qualification filters as four bidders clear technical opening for GDS instrumentation package
8NRL’s GDS instrumentation tender moved into the technical-opening stage with four bidders in the race after a late-cycle date extension. Commercial clarifications tightened eligibility, particularly around similar-works definitions and documentation formats. The payoff now hinges on whether strict BQC enforcement reshapes the pricing curve at the financial-bid stage.
 
3) NRL’s coalescer package sees two-bid technical opening after five date extensions — NREP
8NRL’s regeneration loop coalescer package attracted just two bidders despite multiple extensions. The technical opening follows significant scope clarifications and a tightened TPIA framework. The full impact of bidder-driven P&ID and instrumentation obligations will emerge only after compliance scrutiny.

1) Three bidders make it to technical evaluation in IGGL’s pipeline-EIA tender
8IGGL has admitted all three submissions in its tender for multi-corridor pipeline EIA and risk studies. No bidder was screened out at the opening stage, keeping competition intact for a non-splittable package. The decisive test will now be whether all three clear the stringent NABET and past-experience thresholds.
 
2) Six survey firms clear BPCL’s technical gate for Kandla LPG pipeline study
8BPCL’s bid for full-spectrum route, seismic, soil and cadastral surveying for the Kandla refrigerated LPG terminal has narrowed to six technically qualified bidders. The package carries atypically high technical intensity but unusually low financial securities. The evaluation now moves to commercial scrutiny under the two-packet GeM framework.
 
3) Five bidders enter GAIL’s HVJ cathodic-protection survey tender
8GAIL’s latest HVJ integrity-survey tender has drawn five bidders with varying corrosion-survey credentials. The two-group structure and strict notarised BEC rules will shape who clears the technical gate. Award sequencing may further narrow the field before commercial competition begins.

1) Dhillon Engineering undercuts rivals by over 32 percent for ABWA communication O&M contract
8A three-year ABWA communication maintenance job at ONGC’s Ahmedabad Asset has gone to Dhillon Engineering Works on a sharply lower L1 quote.
8The winning price sits more than 32 percent below the next bidder even as ONGC keeps a 5 percent performance security and no minimum work guarantee.
8Whether that combination delivers cheap reliability or deferred risk is the question vendors and field managers will be watching next.
 
2) ONGC tanker charter corrigendum drops fuel-efficiency tie-break and elevates MSE and turnover hierarchy in Aframax L1 awards.
8ONGC has quietly rewritten the rule that decides who wins its Aframax tanker charter when prices are tied.
8The latest corrigendum scraps a fuel-efficiency-based tie-break and replaces it with a hierarchy favouring MSEs and high-turnover bidders.
8What that does to bidder strategy, fleet selection and charter margins will only become visible once the techno-commercial bids land.
 
3) Oil India Rajasthan–Gujarat 1000 HP rig charter corrigendum drops skidding package, eases mast and drill-collar specs and tidies GeM security mechanics.
8Oil India has quietly stripped out skidding and flexible rig layout obligations from its Rajasthan–Gujarat 1000 HP mobile rig charter while relaxing key mast and drill-collar dimensions.
8At the same time, a GeM corrigendum locks in integrity pact compliance and clarifies digital routes for EMD and performance security without touching the headline security levels.
8How these changes reshape the bidder pool, pad-drilling strategy and effective competition will only be visible once the techno-commercial bids are on the table.
 
4) Prabha Energy pushes NK CBM workover rig bid deadline to 28 November 2025 without easing tough rig and qualification terms.
8Prabha Energy has quietly given bidders seven extra days to price and paper their NK CBM workover rig offers.
8The extension does nothing to dilute a demanding SOW, strict workover experience criteria and firm-price, rupee-only commercial terms.
8The real story now is whether the extra week broadens the bidder bench or simply compresses the path from bid opening to an April 2026 rig start.

1) Strict destination testing and vendor-banning triggers sharpen risk profile on MBA Basin biocide
8ONGC MBA Basin is seeking just 4000 kg of bactericide, but the tender reads more like a quality-control playbook than a routine chemical buy.
8Six-sample destination testing, twin-lab validation and explicit banning triggers turn every lot into a high-stakes shipment for suppliers.
8How bidders price a zero-EMD, single-lot supply under this regime will reveal who is truly comfortable with ONGC’s corporate spec and lab-driven acceptance.
 
2) Single qualified bidder left standing as ONGC Hazira–Uran-Trombay pipeline exposure contract
8ONGC’s three-year Hazira–Uran-Trombay pipeline exposure contract has already cut two of three bidders at the technical gate, leaving just one contender in play.
8Behind the scenes sits a dense mix of gabion-and-geotextile civil works, EN-class coating repairs and live sour-gas operations where shutdowns are off the table.
8What ONGC said—or refused to say—in bidder clarifications could decide whether this becomes a new template for integrity outsourcing or a cautionary one-off.
 
3) Pre-bid replies lock in tax and customs risk for wireline and TCP-DST vendors even as ONGC extends bid timing
8ONGC has quietly extended the bid clock on its flagship wireline logging and TCP-DST tender while refusing to soften its stance on GST and customs risk.
8The pre-bid replies show bidders probing the edges of duty exemptions, GST slabs and Make in India policy — and getting only a narrow set of concessions in return.
8How vendors now price explosives, LIH exposure and tax volatility into their offers will decide whether this becomes a high-stakes benchmark or a cautionary tale for future logging tenders.
 
4) Aggressive L1 undercut delivers low-cost four-year manpower deal for operation and maintenance at PS4 Sekoni of OIL
8Oil India has closed its PS4 Sekoni support-services tender with a winning bid that sits more than 32% below the nearest competitor.
8Behind that headline lies a four-year, fixed-rate contract where the contractor must absorb all future wage and statutory cost escalations while keeping pump-station operations seamless.
8Whether this sharp pricing becomes a new benchmark or a stress test for contractor resilience will only become clear as the contract runs its course.

1) BPCL-Kochi tightens manpower and compliance controls in CIC-Zone A instrumentation tender
8BPCL-Kochi has issued a three-year instrumentation maintenance tender that pushes contractors into stricter manpower, documentation and safety compliance regimes. The SOW extends well beyond routine calibration, covering SRR cabinet upkeep and advanced field-device servicing across high-severity units. How vendors respond to mandatory pre-bid attendance and TPIA-verified PQCs could reshape the competitive field.
 
2) Operation and maintenance tender for BPCL Mahul biogas plant outlines full-responsibility O&M model
8BPCL has issued a three-year O&M tender that shifts nearly all operational and mechanical risk to the contractor. The scope goes far beyond routine plant running, covering logistics, consumables, repairs, and emergency machinery replacement. The document signals BPCL’s tightening emphasis on uptime and environmental compliance at its Mahul refinery.
 
3) GAIL tightens trenchless PMC bar for Song2 river pipeline mitigation
8GAIL has launched a high-specificity PMC tender to oversee micro-tunnelling beneath the Song2 river after a hydrocarbon leakage event. The qualification bar mandates river-crossing trenchless experience with precise length and diameter thresholds rarely seen in baseline PMC contracts. GeM-based controls reshape risk allocation even before the bidding window closes.
 
4) GAIL raises technical bar for O&M engineering consultants in Maharashtra pipeline network
8GAIL’s new consultancy tender demands unusually deep credentials in in-service pipeline engineering. A stringent QCBS structure and mandatory notarised evidence signal a push toward high-rigour vendor selection. The package reshapes competitive entry for firms seeking O&M-focused engineering work.

1) Six extensions push BPCL’s BPREP gas chromatograph tender to December
8BPCL’s analyser-systems tender for 47 process GCs has now slipped by 71 days from its original deadline. The extension chain signals persistent documentation hurdles around licensor-bound NDA access and stringent provenness criteria. How this delay affects bidder participation and EIL’s evaluation strategy remains open.
 
2) IOCL extends EHT tender after major design-temperature correction
8IOCL has pushed the EHT tender deadline to 29 November after issuing a material correction to the design exposure temperature. The shift from 350°C to 250°C alters the fundamental basis for EHT sizing and insulation engineering. Bidders must now recalibrate their designs and pricing ahead of the 1 December technical opening.
 
3) EIL extends BOOT-warehouse EOI deadline for NRL’s PP unit by eight days
8The refinery’s BOOT-warehouse package has received its first deadline shift, indicating bidders sought more time to consolidate technical and financial submissions. The scope spans full lifecycle responsibilities, from automated bagging lines to statutory approvals and 20/25-year O&M. The extension hints at both the package’s complexity and the promoter’s interest in deeper participation.
 
4) IOCL-BGR extends flare-gas power EOI deadline to 11 December
8IOCL-BGR has issued a date-only extension for its flare-gas-based power-generation EOI. The change pushes all sale, submission, and opening activities to 11 December while keeping every technical and commercial clause intact. The move hints at the need for a wider vendor response without altering the EOI’s qualification framework.
 
5) BPCL extends Ennore OWS–ETP revamp bid to 24 November after muted first response
8BPCL’s Ennore terminal has pushed the OWS–ETP revamp deadline by three days, signalling a need for additional bidder readiness. The extension is minor but intersects with a scope that requires mandatory site visits and OEM-backed component commitments. The full competitive impact now hinges on how many vendors can mobilise within the revised window.
 
6) EIL extends BIO-ATF pump tender deadline to 26 November in MRPL project
8EIL has pushed the bid deadline for the BIO-ATF pump package to 26 November, marking the first schedule shift in the procurement cycle. The extension follows a dense pre-bid round where bidders challenged multiple hydraulic constraints but received no parameter relief. The enlarged window now becomes critical for recalibrating BKW guarantees, NPSH logic, and datasheet compliance.

8The owner’s first commercial amendment rewrites the liability ceiling to a blended 50% of license, BEDP and engineering fees. The carve-out for patent infringement lifts the cap to 100%, reshaping licensor exposure. The resulting framework forces bidders to reassess risk pricing.

8Whether that makes the tender sharper or scares off marginal players is what the bid box will reveal.

1) ONGC readies three-year pan-India instrumentation and field infocom FMS tender with KPI-driven service hours and full logistics risk on contractor.
8ONGC is bundling 145 installations, 57 rigs and a Delhi SCADA command centre into a single three-year FMS contract for instrumentation and field infocom.
8Behind the GeM shell sits a dense KPI regime that scores every call, every service hour and even vehicle availability, with non-performance deductions waiting in the wings.
8Bidders now have to decide whether they can turn nationwide logistics, safety liabilities and first-line maintenance into a manageable margin.
 
2) Long-tenor demulsifier rate contract ties Tarapur crude quality and water-cut control to lab-validated chemistry under GSPC CB-ON/2 Tarapur.
8GSPC’s Tarapur block is inviting demulsifier suppliers into a four-plus-two year rate contract where lab performance, not paperwork, decides who plays.
8The same contract quietly prepares for novation into Gujarat Gas Limited while locking prices and leaving volumes entirely at GSPC’s discretion.
8What that does to bidder appetite, chemical pricing and downstream quality risk will only be visible once the first set of samples clears the lab.
 
3) Three specialised PCB-repair vendors vie for ONGC MBA Basin’s rig-control module ARC under a compliance-tight but EMD-free tender.
8ONGC’s limited-tender PCB-repair contract has attracted a tight trio of local specialists.
8With EMD and PQC scoring both removed, the competition hinges on documentary precision and technical familiarity.
8The real test lies in how bidders price risk without any clarifications on module-level uncertainties.
 
4) ONGC trims holding days but keeps tax and downtime risks on contractors in TCP-DST and specialised services pre-bid replies
8Behind a seemingly routine corrigendum, ONGC has quietly hardened its stance on LIH taxes, explosives and idle-tool compensation in its latest TCP-DST tender.
8A few surgical concessions on sample disposal, holding periods and preventive maintenance give contractors just enough certainty to sharpen their models, but not enough to soften the risk profile.
8The real story is how these replies will shape pricing, fleet deployment and CIS-driven collaboration across ONGC’s entire wireline and TCP-DST ecosystem.
 
 5) PEL extends North Karanpura CBM HDPE pipe and fittings tender PEL/CBM/HDPE Pipe & Fittings after heavy corrigendum traffic.
8A dense stack of pre-bid responses and annexure changes has pushed PEL’s North Karanpura HDPE pipe tender beyond its original 19 November deadline.
8Bidders now get one extra week to re-cut their numbers against a new SOR and price format without any relief on EMD, PBG or validity.
8Whether that 7-day extension broadens competition or simply hardens risk premiums will only be visible at bid opening.
 
6) ONGC Cauvery Asset pushes effluent water tanker to 27 November 2025 while keeping tight risk terms intact.
8Behind a simple seven-day shift in the GeM calendar, ONGC has left every hard commercial and technical line on its effluent water tanker tender untouched.
8Bidders now get extra time to line up compliant, GPS-fitted tankers and finance EMD, but must still live with a long price-lock and strict exclusivity.
8Whether this extension broadens the field or just rewards a handful of large fleets will be clear only when the technical packets are opened.

1) Inspectorate Griffith sweeps BPCL’s dual-port export survey ARC
8BPCL has awarded both export-survey schedules—Mumbai and Kochi—to a single bidder after a tightly filtered competition restricted to BPCL-registered agencies. The final pricing undercuts BPCL’s own estimated values, signalling disciplined quoting in a niche service pool. The option clause and the ARC structure now give BPCL significant flexibility over year-round export operations.
 
2) Mantec takes GAIL’s DUPl–DDPL environmental package with 4.5% margin over L2
8GAIL’s environmental clearance package for the DUPl–DDPL augmentation pipeline closed with only three qualified agencies after stringent Category-A and hydrocarbon-infra filters. The final bids reveal a narrow spread between the top two contenders and a steep premium quoted by the third. The structure of the package shows how GAIL is consolidating marine, CRZ and liaisoning risks onto a single contractor.

8How did that happen?

1) NDA-gated purge gas recovery unit tender waives EMD but tightens inspection and price-change rules in NRL PPU project
8NRL’s purge gas recovery unit tender for the polypropylene project removes EMD but replaces it with dense layers of performance security and TPI obligations. Vendors must sign an NDA just to see the full MR and BOQ, and then live with a hard bar on post-bid price changes and reverse-auction being off the table. How bidders price this mix of softer entry and tougher execution risk will determine whether the membrane package becomes a competitive benchmark or a risk-priced outlier.
 
2) Gujarat Gas LNG Sanchore tender stretches bid window by 18 days without easing heavy O&M and penalty load
8Gujarat Gas has pushed back the bid deadline three times for its Sanchore LNG storage and regasification tender, taking the closing date from 07-11-2025 to 25-11-2025. The extensions come even as the tender retains a demanding OEM/ASP-based BQC, a dense penalty matrix and a multi-layer CPBG structure tied to five years of O&M. For bidders, more time is on offer, but the underlying risk and pricing architecture remains firmly locked in.
 
3) MRPL delayed coker insulation tender gets six-day GeM bid extension
8MRPL has quietly pushed back the GeM bid closing for its coke drum insulation contract in the delayed coker unit Phase-III by six days, from 20-11-2025 to 26-11-2025. The shift comes even as strict experience and safety filters, a zero-minimum-quantity stance and wide option clauses remain untouched. How that mix of tighter risk and looser timing plays out for bidder appetite and shutdown readiness will be decided only once the bids are opened.
 
4) Single-vendor ER probe calibration tender pushed to 27 November in IOCL Guwahati refinery
8IOCL’s Guwahati refinery has quietly granted a one-week extension on its proprietary ER probe calibration tender to 27-11-2025. The move comes in a GeM custom-bid that is already hard-wired to a single OEM, backed by a 39-month bank guarantee and NIST-traceable performance requirements. What looks like a small calendar shift could still carry implications for reliability planning, vendor leverage and how IOCL defends single-tender maintenance buys.
 
5) BPCL pushes Uttar Pradesh CBG land-liaison consultancy bid to 27 November
8BPCL has quietly moved the closing date for its Uttar Pradesh CBG land-consultancy tender by a week, from 20-11-2025 to 27-11-2025. The extension comes in a bid that already loads the consultant with end-to-end responsibility for identifying, securing and registering government land across seven tehsils on a milestone-linked payment structure. What has not changed is BPCL’s strong option rights on scope and duration, and the uneasy tension between GeM’s “no EMD” flag and an ATC that still talks about deposit requirements.

New data shows a staggering truth: firms making the same product can differ 20-fold in energy efficiency. The laggards aren’t catching up — if anything, the gap is widening.
8The study warns that this dispersion is now a structural drag on competitiveness, emissions, and pricing power.
8This counterfactual study is explosive: simply bringing the worst 25% of firms up to the 25th-percentile benchmark would cut industrial energy use almost in half, with zero loss of output. For policymakers, this is the closest thing to an emissions “free lunch.” Details

1) TPIA scope turns Rajahmundry Asset gas compressor relocation into a tightly policed LSTK plus assurance package
8ONGC Rajahmundry Asset is not just hiring an inspection agency for a compressor shift; it is embedding a third party into every phase of a high-stakes LSTK project.
8From HAZOP and welding to EPF/ESI attendance and contract closure, the TPIA is being asked to do far more than tick boxes.
8How that expanded mandate is priced and exercised will decide whether this compressor move becomes a benchmark or a cautionary tale for future projects.
 
2) Three-year rig switchgear calibration tender pushes open-ended consumable and logistics risk onto contractors
8ONGC Rajahmundry Asset is turning routine breaker servicing into a fleet-wide reliability and compliance project.
8Every ACB, relay and earth-fault device on eight rigs now comes with its own test protocol, certificate and sticker.
8How contractors price a scope where “anything necessary” is their risk will decide whether this becomes a reliability benchmark or a margin trap.
 
3) Tight timelines, tough theft liabilities and no wage relief as incumbents’ clarifications fail to soften SRP O&M risk
8Participating bidders tried to push ONGC to recognise monsoon realities, digital downtime and wage escalation in its flagship SRP maintenance tender.
8The replies show a client willing to clarify technical boundaries but largely unwilling to share operational and financial risk.
8How Aakash, BSCC, Bukaka, Rajas and Shree Sai finally price this risk-heavy contract will decide whether this becomes ONGC’s new template for field maintenance.
 
4) ONGC Mehsana’s three-year temporary pipe type earthing consolidation bid is off the table, but its cancelled GeM tender still reveals the asset’s safety-services playbook.
8ONGC Mehsana tried to bundle drilling, workover and lightning earthing under a single RA-enabled GeM contract with tighter PQs and a 25% option clause.
8The tender is now cancelled, but the SOW and bid configuration show how the asset wants to centralise safety-critical rig services while keeping volume and price risk firmly on contractors.
8The unanswered question is whether the next iteration will soften those edges or double down on this model.
 
5) Revamp window widens but variable-cost and quality clamps stay tight in Ahmedabad ETP O&M-plus-revamp tender
8ONGC has quietly doubled the revamp period for its Ahmedabad Asset effluent treatment plants and softened a key performance-penalty trigger.
8But it has refused to budge on ultra-tight outlet quality, minimum variable-cost floors and stiff PQ and financial criteria that favour only a handful of strong bidders.
8The real story now is whether contractors can still carve out margin under a contract that gives more time but very little financial or technical slack.
 
6) Bid closing pushed to 3 December as OIL trades time for stronger OEM participation on open hole logging units
8Oil India has quietly given global logging OEMs two more weeks to line up bids for a high-stakes open hole package.
8The financial and qualification bars remain exactly where they were, but the calendar has shifted to 3 December.
8Whether that extra time delivers more competition or merely reveals how narrow the serious bidder pool really is will only be visible at opening.
