1) HRRL’s AMPL Gujarat-section O&M award throws up a three-way L1 tie and a disqualification cliff
8HRRL’s AMPL Gujarat-section manpower O&M contract looks routine until you track how the bid design shapes who survives evaluation. A three-way L1 tie and a steep L2 premium point to anchored pricing rather than open price discovery.
 
2) BPCL locks three-year zone-2 heat exchanger rate contract as competitor sits 42.4% higher
8The L1 and L2 bids sit within single digits, but the L3 is priced as if utilisation and execution friction will bite harder than the front of the market expects.

1) Biodiesel B-100 empanelment tightens TPIA-gated compliance as five bidders enter the technical opening
8A five-year plant geo-lock and TPIA-certified statutory proofs create new failure points that can rewrite competition before price discovery begins. The technical opening has only five participants, making every checklist omission potentially decisive
 
2) BPCL kochi refinery tightens zone 1 heat exchanger rate-contract field as 4 bidders clear technical evaluation
8BPCL kochi refinery’s zone 1 exchanger RC is already narrowing from participation to qualification, with technical screening reshaping the price battlefield before bids open commercially. A tight clarification window and documentation-heavy eligibility gates are acting as silent differentiators in a contract that touches pressure-boundary maintenance work.
 
3) BPCL Mumbai refinery’s VDU heater revamp tender filters bidders with a no-deviation stance as only three clear technical evaluation
8With only three firms qualifying out of five, the technical gatekeeping is already shaping the price fight that follows.
 
4) BPCL’s BPREP stack gas analyser bid opens with four players
8With four bidders in the technical opening, the next eliminations are likely to be driven by documentation and OEM responsibility chains rather than instrument brochures.

1) IOCL Mathura refinery hard-binds UF reliability with chemical inventory floors and a dispute-framework gap in ultrafiltration plant
8IOCL’s Mathura refinery is turning a utilities O&M tender into a quality-governed reliability contract, with UF permeate metrics driving performance expectations. The document quietly shifts execution risk into chemical supply discipline and “always-on” response behaviour, while reverse auction rules sharpen the margin fight. But one legal configuration stands out as an outlier and could reshape how bidders price downside on long-tail performance security.
 
2) IOCL hardwires split award and removes the 80% shortfall cushion in BR-09 radiography testing
8The real story is how compliance gates and a price-matching cascade together reshape who can bid—and who can survive execution.
 
3) PLL’s Dahej PDH-PP emergency DG tender hardens “exportable power” guarantees and SPRV liability in a 5.9 MWe package
8The qualification design locks bidders into a single point responsibility vendor posture, even when the supply chain is distributed. The real story sits in how these two levers reshape competition and commissioning leverage — without a single clause here explicitly calling it a risk transfer.
 
4) BPCL Mumbai refinery’s TA 2026 piping SOR tightens price bands and multi-vendor control
8The pricing corridor and “match L1” logic force contractors to compete on mobilisation credibility, safety gating, and documentation discipline rather than margin engineering. What looks like routine SOR language hides a sharper risk-transfer design that could reshape how vendors size manpower, logistics, and working capital for TA peaks.

1) Petronet LNG-EIL draw hard battery limits for reciprocating compressor package in PDH-PP Dahej pre-bid queries
8Petronet LNG’s Dahej PDH-PP compressor package is being POLiced at the battery limit, not in the compressor cylinder. A single carve-out on condensed fuel gas handling could shift integration complexity away from the package vendor and into EPC scope. The pre-bid answers also quietly settle a VFD applicability ambiguity that can swing pricing and compliance.
 
2) 20 MW/28 MWP solar plant in maharashtra by HPRGE
8The extension comes days after a clarification package that largely refused bidder requests to soften eligibility and legal templates. The tender’s scoring still favours Maharashtra PMC exposure and hard proof of open access commissioning, shaping who can realistically compete.
 
3) HPCL tightens bid governance for Butibori railway siding consultancy
8The latest corrigendum does not change the engineering end-goal, but it changes how bidders can survive the process.
 
4) IOCL extends on-call mobilisation window to 15 days in engineering services ARC for BDEP/FEED support
8IOCL’s latest corrigendum quietly rewires the execution engine of its BDEP/FEED support contract, moving the deployment clock from 7 days to 15. The change looks minor, but it rebalances who can bid credibly without carrying costly standby benches.

8The delayed coker unit licensor tender is used to pin down design assumptions earlier than most refinery projects do.
8The pre-bid replies quietly shift the risk line on feed characterisation, review effort, and “typical” package boundaries.
8The real question is which licensors price the governance load cleanly and which ones try to fight it through deviations.

8The lifecycle record now shows 15 extensions from the original 18-mar-2025 close, signalling persistent friction between scope certainty and bidder appetite.
8Behind the date change, the more material story is what still remains unresolved at bid stage—and how that reshapes pricing discipline for an interface-heavy lstk petrochem package.

1) OIL wireline logging units tender pushed to a later date
8The shift comes after OIL confirmed that responses to pre-bid queries have been uploaded, resetting how bidders calibrate compliance, instruments, and pricing risk.
8What matters now is not the extra time, but what the uploaded clarifications quietly do to scope boundaries and bid survivability.
 
2) ONGC’s 1000 hp mobile rig charter tender for Ahmedabad and Mehsana extended
8ONGC has again pushed the submission and un-priced bid opening dates for its four-rig, 1000 hp mobile drilling package in Ahmedabad and Mehsana.
8The document trail shows a tight sequence of extensions with no declared changes to scope or qualification logic.
8The real signal is what repeated date shifts reveal about rig availability and compliance readiness in the onshore charter market.
 
3) ONGC’s Dahej firewater line tender issues a minimal corrigendum that unlocks site access
8ONGC’s corrigendum does not touch dates, securities, or scope language, but it quietly fixes the one thing bidders need to price a brownfield piping job: real access.
8A named on-site engineering gatekeeper can compress uncertainty premiums and change who dares to bid tight.
8The compliance risk is whether bidders keep “what we saw on site” inside formal pre-bid channels or let informal information asymmetry creep in.

1) Participating bidders pushed for CTU flexibility and job certainty, but ONGC held truck-mounted specs and call-off risk
8ONGC’s participated-bidder clarifications show a deliberate refusal to soften the contract’s two hardest edges: one-day response across three assets, and zero minimum job commitment.
8Vendors tried to re-engineer the risk stack through trailer options, larger coil, penalty caps, and standby economics—and mostly hit a wall.
 
2) Participating bidders face a tighter “no cross-subcontracting” ringfence in Odalarevu CAAQMS-CEMS compliance package
8ONGC has tightened how bidders can execute this compliance-heavy job after participation, and the clause design is aimed squarely at preventing post-award bid-pooling.
8Warranty security has been softened even as execution control is tightened, shifting the risk mix in a long camc-tailed contract.
8The participating bidder set will now be tested less on “who can source analyzers” and more on who can own integration, commissioning, and regulator-facing uptime.
 
3) ONGC extends Rajahmundry hydraulic fracturing and coiled tubing services bid while fixing standby-rate pricing gate
8A seemingly small excel validation error around the standby cap forced ongc to re-issue the price breakup logic, turning the pricing template into a qualification gate.
8Behind the dates, the tender’s real signal is how aggressively the buyer is tightening document governance, onboarding discipline, and post-evaluation contestability.
 
4) ONGC resets buyer-atc terms and hardens upload compliance for MBCU hiring
8ONGC’s latest corrigendum does not tweak the scope, it rewrites which buyer-added terms are legally “live” for the bid.
8The quiet risk is procedural: one missed certificate or an unseen uploaded atc annexure can kill responsiveness even before technical merit is weighed.
8Behind it sits a deeper procurement signal on how hard ONGC is willing to screen the MBCU fleet and bidder discipline for four-year cementing logistics.

8The documents still carry a coast-level inconsistency on where the first rig is meant to start, a detail that can swing mobilization and metocean risk. Behind the deadline story,
8ONGC’s real filter is administrative discipline—file naming, mandatory uploads, and no-deviation posture that can knock out bids before technical merit is even debated.

8The execution layer of three company-owned ac/scr drilling rigs, but the scope quietly stretches into the interface zones where drilling time is usually lost.

IOCL’s Mathura refinery topo survey technical stage filters hard, with only six of 17 bidders clearing
8IOCL’s Mathura refinery has framed a “survey” tender like a design-grade digital engineering package, not a map-making exercise — IOCL/Mathura refinery. The technical bar sits as much in calibration proofs, control networks, and raw-data handover as in field execution. The technical qualification split hints at a procurement strategy that narrows the vendor pool before price ever comes into play.

8This is a performance-led EPCC, not a routine environmental add-on. The tender language quietly shifts the hardest risks—brownfield integration, safety governance, and residual emissions outcomes—onto the contractor. The technical bid field is active, but the acceptability bar will decide whether this turns into a price contest or a compliance filter.

1) PBFS dryer and purification study bid rolls three times
8The bid timeline tells its own story: the due date shifts in a neat weekly cadence. The bigger question for bidders is whether the underlying scope and governance stack are as clean as the platform workflow suggests.
 
2) IOCL’s Paradip refinery uses auto-extensions to keep the SADC/DCU mechanical shutdown job alive
8The bid settings reveal a participation threshold and a three-step auto-extension design that can materially reshape competition without rewriting the tender. The most consequential line may be the one that freezes PQC evaluation to the original deadline even as dates move.
 
3) Owner extends panipat 2G ethanol feed dust removal LSTK tender
8The owner has not however softened any of the underlying tender conditions. The extension quietly preserves a key control lever: PQC experience is still judged against the original submission date, not the extended one.
 
4) MRPL extends GeM tender timeline for co-processing/AFR processing of solid waste
8MRPL’s 10-day extension is less about time and more about forcing a compliance-ready bidder pool into a tight, auditable waste disposal chain. The tender’s 60:40 split award at matched L1 pricing quietly rewires bidder strategy and margin tolerance. The real risk sits in measurement control and dispute posture, not in the trucking headlines.
 
5) CBG feasibility tender extended
8This CBG feasibility tender is not a desk study; it is forcing bidders to earn their conclusions with NABL-backed MSW sampling, and it treats that field evidence as pass-fail.
 
6) GAIL tightens red-card durations and deletes suspension procedure in LLDPE and new Butene handling contract
8GAIL’s latest corrigendum rewires the bidder-governance playbook more than the plant-handling scope. Repeat “instances” now map into fixed red-card timelines, while the suspension pathway is removed altogether. The bigger story is how this shifts the balance between interim control and terminal penalties in a 24-month petrochemical handling service.
 
7) HPCL extends nitrogen PSA AMC bid by five days as single-seller structure tightens competition

1) Gail tightens the vendor funnel for RT Bidadi–Poonapalli pipeline EIA tapoff
8GAIL is buying more than an EIA report, it is buying regulatory resilience through who it allows to bid and how it locks them into the lifecycle. The tender’s credential gates and post-bid evidence discipline quietly shrink the playing field before pricing even begins.
 
2) HPCL LMBU bearing cooling water tender tightens site-control and JV risk backstops
8It is written as an execution-governed tender, not just an equipment buy. The tender pack quietly turns access control and safety readiness into enforceable commercial levers that can decide who mobilises fastest and who bleeds time at the gate
 
3) Indian oil’s panipat PBR E&I tender pairs reverse auction with an explicit “no interest” dispute stance
8The bid is structured to force speed-to-site and shrink the eligible vendor pool before price even comes into play. A standalone clause quietly rewrites dispute economics by trying to erase the time-value of money on claims, even if disputes drag. The technical undercurrent is hazardous-area and interface discipline—where one missing certificate or battery-limit ambiguity can turn a three-month promise into a commissioning trap.
 
4) Bid due date extended as EIL tightens zero-deviation pump sourcing for NRL’s polypropylene unit project at Numaligarh refinery
8The clarifications show a procurement team willing to accept some standardisation moves, while shutting down operating-window deviations that often slip through in low-flow service. The real story is what the extension is buying—time to clean the datasheets, or time to rescue participation under a narrowed, local-supplier-only gate.
 
5) Corrigendum tightens flexibility levers for IOCL leadership competency framework
8IOCL has used a late-stage GeM corrigendum to introduce contract elasticity and a second billing lane that most QCBS bidders won’t model by default. The changes look procedural, but they materially reshape how five-year resourcing, invoicing discipline, and scope drift risk will be priced. The real signal sits in how these levers interact with IOCL’s tool-provenance demands and schedule-control rewrite.

1) Mehsana asset’s CSS wells EOI turns hollow glass sphere buying into a lab-gated well integrity screen
8They are using a hollow glass sphere EOI to pre-wire cement slurry performance into vendor eligibility for css wells, not just to collect quotes.
8The published HPHT conditioning gates and particle-size caps quietly decide who can even compete once the real tender lands.
8What looks like a routine market check is setting up a technical choke-point that could reshape the domestic vendor pool.
 
2) Shreeji Construction wins ONGC Cambay asset rig-site civil works rate contract as L1, with L2 only 6.9% higher
8ONGC’s Cambay asset has awarded the rig-enablement civil rate contract to Shreeji construction, but the real story is in how the bid curve splits after L2.
8The tender structure hard-shifts inflation and multi-site execution risk onto contractors through firm pricing and work-order level schedule enforcement.
8The award numbers hint at one aggressive price cluster and a second tier that priced a very different risk reality.
 
3) Foam concentrate and UPS scope contradictions sharpen bidder risk in ONGC’s Ahmedabad asset fire protection revamp
8Participating bidders are flagging scope drift that changes the engineering basis of the foam system and the pump house footprint.
8ONGC’s answers keep pointing back to discipline documents rather than issuing a clean “in/out” confirmation, leaving interpretation risk inside the bid.
8With bid dates stretching into January 2026, the vendor pool is being tested on document-control discipline as much as on pricing.
 
4) Qualified–disqualified split hardens after spec reset on top drive torque in 1000 HP mobile drilling rig charter hire
8Oil india limited has quietly softened a critical top drive performance point, but it has not diluted the electrical-only philosophy that drives capex and compliance cost.
8The participated bidder pool now shows a clean qualification split, with disqualification reasons still opaque in the published lifecycle extracts.
8The unanswered “will review” items are where the next risk-transfer surprise can still land for bidders.
 
5) ONGC tightens bid governance for coil tubing services across three basins
8ONGC’s latest corrigendum rewrites the controlling buyer-added terms layer and pulls integrity pact compliance into the bid submission itself.
8The technical tender underneath is already high-friction, with five-year coil tubing charter expectations blended with real-time monitoring and vehicle tracking requirements.
8The real question is whether the corrigendum’s overwritten terms and unseen attachments quietly change risk allocation more than bidders expect.

8Behind the calendar shift sits a tougher message: bidders can clarify scope edges, but the standard risk clauses are largely non-negotiable.

8They are being sold as a standard offshore EPC, but the real action sits in how ONGC is hard-wiring compliance rejections and design-finality risk into the bid.
8Platform tie-backs and multi-length export lines set up an interface-heavy schedule game, while “tentative” protection parameters are left for contractors to lock during detail engineering.
8The bidders who price this like a routine fabrication-installation job may discover the real margin erosion only after vendor packages and shutdown logic collide offshore.

8Private developers hold 26,660 MW Pumped Storage Projects (PSP) versus 13,273.5 MW HEP. That’s a +100.9% PSP over HEP within private portfolios.

8The package tried to make “mobile” effluent compliance measurable, with recurring certified testing and DGMS-safe field integration baked into contractor scope.
8A single pre-bid query then punctured the storage-tank logic, forcing an on-the-record capacity re-interpretation that changes the logistics math for every bidder.
8The documents here show deadline resets and instrument tightening, but the deeper story sits in what the “mobile” constraint really allows on site.

1) Oil India wireline logging mast tender corrigendum tightens controls and extends bid close
8The bigger shift is a clause-level tightening of how the mast must be operated and monitored.
8The corrigendum rewrites control-panel and LMI visibility expectations in ways that can silently disqualify “functionally similar” designs.
8The delivery window has also been eased, raising questions about what the market signalled on integration realism and who can still price aggressively without execution risk.
 
2) ONGC drilling rigs repair RC bid extended
8ONGC’s three-year offshore repair rc for heavy electrical machines has slipped by a full month, with a final auto-extension taking it to 09 January 2026.
8The pattern points to participation and compliance friction rather than a simple calendar tweak.
8The real signal is what this delay implies about vendor readiness for joint inspection, testing discipline, and offshore logistics risk.
 
3) Bid deadline extended as ONGC keeps reverse-auction WFPTS race alive for Hazira–Dahej
8ONGC has pushed the WFPTS bid close, extending a GeM two-packet, reverse-auction competition for a safety-grade workforce tracking rollout at Hazira and Dahej.
8The GeM settings already reveal participation anxiety—auto-extension logic is configured around a three-bid minimum and a seven-day window, even before bidders reach the auction ladder.
8What the extension does not yet reveal is the real story: whether ONGC is buying time to resolve scope ambiguities, or simply trying to pull more qualified players into a price-compression endgame.
 
4) Bid deadline extended for civil survey–soil investigation–rig foundation design package in Mahanadi basin project.
8Oil India has pushed the bid closing date to 09 January 2026, without touching scope or commercial risk allocation.
8The extension lands on a package that quietly controls drilling readiness across five locations and eight districts, where land interfaces can upend “engineering-only” timelines.
8The real signal may sit outside the corrigendum: OIL’s own GeM trail shows the service isn’t categorised, shaping how competition and compliance friction will play out.
 
5) Oil’s Andaman offshore imaging tender pushed to 20 January 2026
8Oil India limited has extended its GeM tender timeline for anisotropic time and depth imaging tied to the Andaman Offshore AN-OSHP-2018/1 block.
8Under the surface, the contract wrapper shifts operational and tax-compliance risk hard onto the consultant while preserving the buyer’s right to flex duration and quantity.
8The extension changes bidder calculus, but the real story sits in the clauses that decide who pays for uncertainty.

1) ONGC tightens offshore IMR readiness economics in MSU/DSV O&M tender
8The package for Samudra Sevak and samudra prabha reads less like crewing and more like a reliability contract for diving-critical offshore IMR.
8The fine print converts “partial capability loss” into a ladder of day-rate penalties that could reshape how bidders price spares, preventive maintenance, and saturation readiness.
8What looks like a routine two-bid vessel hire quietly turns into a test of who can carry both operational discipline and security-heavy risk.
 
2) ONGC’s Dahej firewater line replacement tender makes live-plant continuity and scrap buyback the real bid qualifier
8ONGC is asking bidders to replace firewater lines without letting the firewater pump house go quiet even briefly.
8The package pairs a hot tapping interface with a “minimum hot work” bias that quietly shifts fabrication strategy and sequencing risk onto the contractor.
8The pricing model then adds a second pressure point by baking scrap receivables and insurance reimbursement controls into how bids compete.
 
3) ONGC locks aviation fuelling control at Juhu helibase as Bharat Stars undercuts IndianOil Skytanking by 25%.
8ONGC’s Juhu helibase aviation fuelling contract drew bids that revealed more than just price competition.
8Repeated attempts by bidders to loosen quality control ownership were firmly shut down during the tender process.
8The final award raises questions about how much operational flexibility aviation O&M contractors are willing to give up to stay in the game.
 
4) ONGC’s Mehsana rig earthing contract throws up a 0.2% L1–L2 knife-edge
8The award ranking looks settled, but the pricing shape is the real story.
8A near-flat L1–L2 spread sits against a scope that can stop rig power-up if earthing slips.
8The contract language leaves little room for “field excuses”, and the winner will discover that early.
 
5) ONGC awards frontier basins drill sites and DSA civil ARC at Rs 25.67 crore as L1–L4 cluster inside 0.3%
8ONGC’s frontier basins drilling-support civil ARC has been decided on a knife-edge: L2 sits only 0.0% above L1, and L3–L4 remain inside 0.3%.
8The lone outlier is L5 at 27.7% above L1, raising a quiet question about how bidders are reading frontier-basin risk and measurement exposure.
8The bigger tension is that L1 is about 37.2% below ONGC’s stated tender estimate, and the contract’s governance design is built to police claims rather than cushion underpricing.

1) Winner takes both schedules in gail’s Cathodic Protection study and redesign tender
8The owner splits the package into two schedule-wise awards—one for diagnosing the C2C3 plant CP, another for designing cp for four underground lpg storage vessels. One bidder has walked away with both schedules at prices that look lean enough to raise “scope tightness” questions.
 
2) GGL picks Jointvalues as L1 for BRSR core reasonable assurance, with CNK trailing at a 9.1% premium
8The award spread is tight enough to signal competition, but the real margin story sits in verification intensity and how much variability the winner priced in.

8The tender quietly rewired field delivery by collapsing pipeline execution from four spreads into one. The award landed with an extreme price discontinuity between L1 and L2 that forces a rethink of what “credible” PMC costing looks like for cross-country pipeline supervision.

1) GAIL’s Pata PC-1/PC-2 operational assistance tender cuts 16 bidders to six on technical gates
8GAIL’s GeM configuration and document-forensics approach is doing as much market-shaping as the scope itself. The tender’s technical admissibility rules make “bid hygiene” a qualification criterion in disguise, and the early technical funnel shows it. The next pressure point is whether the qualified set faces a constrained pricing corridor under a floor price without reverse auction
 
2) HRRL tightens the gate in AMPL Gujarat O&M support tender as only 4 of 72 bidders clear technicals
8HRRL’s AMPL Gujarat staffing tender reads like a routine facility management buy, but the task list is pipeline-critical in all the ways that matter.

1) PFCCU block tender tightens COS guarantee and bans VHP steam trading in amendment
8The consultant quietly rewrites what “compliance” means for a key PRU stream by turning COS into a tighter guarantee-grade number. In the same breath, it removes a common energy-integration escape hatch by prohibiting VHP steam import and export during normal operation.
 
2) BPCL’s 600 KTPA VCM licensor tender tightens the vendor funnel
8The VCM licensor selection is being shaped less by price mechanics and more by reference-unit gatekeeping and documentation policing. The pre-bid replies show calendar relief, but not enough to neutralise foreign bidder friction, while governance clauses still sit in a grey zone unless formal amendments land. The biggest story is how a “clarification-only” regime can still change bidder risk pricing without changing the contract on paper.
 
3) BPCL’s Ramayapatnam DCU licensor bid tightens entry gates
8BPCL and EIL are running the Ramayapatnam delayed coker licensor selection like a compliance stress test as much as a technology shootout. A bid-validity conflict has been decisively settled in favour of a 12-month lock-in, while multiple “on hold” technical and economic inputs remain parked for later amendments.
 
4) Cumene licensor tender tightens PQC gate and timeline, even as amendment drops OTS workstream
8Authorities are holding the line on bid timelines despite holiday-driven extension requests. At the same time, a technical amendment quietly removes one of the most interface-heavy deliverables licensors often dread. The combination reshapes both who can qualify and where execution risk will surface later.
 
5) Phenol licensor tender tightens Acetone Benzene to 2 PPMW and corrects caustic basis to 20 WT%
8The real question is which licensors can absorb the design-and-guarantee implications without inflating their risk premium.

1)  GAIL tightens PMC entry to commissioning-proofed pipeline and metering experience for spur and small pipeline rate contract work
8The company quietly makes commissioning pedigree—not generic “PMC experience”—the price of entry, with metering and pipeline proof baked into the eligibility math.
 
2) EIL’s TA-01 quietly expands demountable flare scope and hard-codes “no commercial implication” HAZOP risk
8BPCL’s BPREP demountable flare package is no longer just a stack-and-tip execution job once TA-01 lands. The amendment pulls ECU off-gases hardware, auxiliary flare tips, and maintainability tooling into bidder scope while tightening the HAZOP/SIL “no commercial implication” bar.
 
3) IOCL stretches MJPL ILI bid timeline while keeping high-resolution UT/MFL + XYZ mapping bar intact
8IOCL’s MJPL pipeline ILI package has moved in steps to mid-January, adding a full month of runway beyond the original GeM close. The timing shift lands against a tender that still demands multi-technology inspection and strict sizing expectations, with buyer-side flexibility clauses sitting in the background.
 
4) BPCL extends lubrication program development phase-1 bid twice
8BPCL Bina refinery is buying more than a lubrication “study”: the scope forces benchmarking, workshops, implementation handholding, and a web-based governance layer.
 
5) BPREP API-610 special purpose pump tender slips 15 days as NDA-gated access meets zero-deviation discipline
8The package is being run inside a tight corridor: limited domestic bidding, PPP-MII filters, and a zero-deviation evaluation posture.
 
6) BPCL extends Vertiv-only DHT UPS capacitor buy for Mumbai refinery MR TA 2026, signalling compliance friction over price pressure
8BPCL’s Mumbai refinery is running a proprietary spares play for MR TA 2026, locking eligibility to Vertiv or its authorised channel. The platform settings reveal a controlled 7-day extension path and a minimum-bid threshold designed to avoid a thin competition outcome. What the tender removes in financial gates, it replaces with documentation and deviation traps that will shape who even reaches price comparison.

8A late technical corrigendum quietly rewrites the risk map for the coal gasification bid, starting with what coal data bidders must actually design around.
8It also tightens the cost-reference language inside the performance guarantee framework, the kind of “small note” that can decide big disputes.
8It explicitly states natural gas cost as Rs 650/mmBTU within the guarantee-cost notes.

8The owner is not just ordering a QRA report, it is demanding the editable model, raw inputs, and assumption trail that lets it re-run the study years later.
8The tender locks bidders into a licensed DNV PHAST & SAFETI toolchain while shifting field logistics, rework risk, and confidentiality exposure onto the consultant.

8What is being set up is a mini FSRU, mini LNG carrier logistics, moorings, and a short pipeline interface.
Click on Details for more Details
8The owner has quietly re-written the GTU story: the “new unit” logic is out, and a revamp-led DFR re-baseline is now the deliverable.
8The scope forces licensor-costing, utilities reconciliation, and LP/capex/IRR refresh to converge under a compressed schedule.
