The plasma-gasification hydrogen package has closed with a near-flat commercial curve, signalling strong industry appetite. 8L1 edged ahead at Rs 151.62 crore, barely separating itself from L2 and L3. 8What this says about India’s early hydrogen EPC market is inside the paywalled story

8Oil India has quietly granted a second extension on its Dandewala gas sweetening EPC tender, moving bid closing to 9 December 2025. 8The LSTK package for a 0.5 MMMSCMD CO2-removal unit still carries a Rs 5.36-crore EMD, stiff performance security and a dense compliance grid. 8Whether the longer runway unlocks stronger competition or just stretches bidder risk exposure will define how this flagship sequestration-linked job is ultimately priced and awarded.

1) Fifteen civil contractors vie for six-slot Mehsana drilling-site rate contract panel 8Fifteencivilcontractorsviefor six-slot Mehsana drilling-site rate contract panel Fifteen bidders are now in play for ONGC Mehsana’s three-year civil-works rate contract, but the work-distribution table has room for only six. 8Behind that simple arithmetic sit strict experience thresholds, TPIA-verified documents and firm prices for the 2025–28 drilling programme. 8How that combination of crowding and control reshapes margins, risk and eventual awards is where this story goes next.
2) Option clause, dates and securities reset but HPWBM risk stays with contractor 8OIL’s latest corrigenda on the HPWBM GeM tender nudge dates and securities without touching the core risk architecture. 8Contractors win more time, more banking flexibility and formalised MSE preference, but must still shoulder odour control, QC and well-risk burdens. 8The real story is how a handful of “amendment shall be issued” promises will, or will not, shift mobilisation and experience thresholds before bids finally close.
3) CTU and pumping fleet tenders pushed to 10 December without blinking on OEM bars 8Oil India has quietly moved the bid gate for its coiled tubing, multipurpose pumping and hot oil unit tenders to 10 December 2025. 8Pre-bid dates and bid-security cut-offs have been nudged, but the dense mesh of OEM, E&P-experience and document-verification rules remains untouched. 8Whether this extra time unlocks a deeper global OEM field or simply prolongs a high-bar contest will decide how fleet renewal plays out.
1) ONGC hard chrome tender pulls rig-critical repair work into three-month, high-liability job-shop mandate in ONGC CWS Vadodara hard chrome plating project. 8ONGC CWS Vadodara has turned a routine chrome-plating job into a tightly scripted service contract covering geometry, hardness bands and IS-linked finish. 8A 150 kilometre facility radius, per-item insurance slabs and six-month performance warranties shift custody and risk squarely onto local job-shops. 8How bidders price that mix of technical precision and liability will decide whether this becomes a replicable template for other rig-repair scopes.
2) Four-year mechanised tank sludge-cleaning mandate in Oil India tank bottom sludge evacuation project. 8Oil India has bundled thirty storage tanks and nearly 13,000 cu m of sludge into a single, four-year mechanised cleaning and inspection contract. 8Arham Oil Gas Products And Services Private Limited has taken the L1 slot at about Rs 26.24 crore under a clause-dense GeM framework. 8How that price balances HSE-heavy obligations, hazardous-waste liabilities and multi-site deployment demands will decide whether this becomes benchmark or cautionary tale.
3) LP gas compression O&M contract in ONGC Rajahmundry LP gas compression O&M. 8ONGC has handed its three-year LP gas compression O&M job at Tatipaka and Mandapeta to Teja Engineering with a bid far below the rest of the field. 8A detailed SOW and updated customs/GST and MSE clauses load heavy operational and compliance obligations onto the contractor. 8How those obligations intersect with such aggressive pricing will decide whether this becomes a new benchmark or a one-off gamble.
4) Three-year offshore weather-forecast mandate 8ONGC has handed its offshore weather-intelligence reins to Skymet in a tightly specified, API-driven GeM contract. 8The three-year mandate covers everything from daily sea-state calls to cyclone track bulletins for both western and eastern offshore theatres. 8What that price buys in terms of model capability, uptime and real-world decision support will now be watched far beyond the met-services community.
8A single-vendor contest has closed with Pall India securing the coalescer revamp package for BPCL’s Kochi polypropylene project. The NDA-bound scope ties directly to PFCCU and PP process reliability. The award exposes both the tight vendor ecosystem and the strict contractual discipline enforced by EIL.

1) NRL PFCC instrumentation tender: Three admitted bidders signal a controlled competition set 8Elmatics, Prime Engineers and Tuaman were admitted at the technical-stage. 8Their past refinery instrumentation exposure positions them well for PFCC requirements. 8The price outcome will hinge on risk-loading for hook-ups.
2) NRL MS Block instrumentation tender: Participation pattern shows mid-tier technical depth 8Only three bidders submitted technical offers, all admitted for evaluation. 8The field reflects contractors familiar with refinery instrumentation. 8Their cost structures will reveal how each priced the hidden risks.
1) HPCL Mumbai refinery hardens APC AMC with controller-uptime penalties and OEM-locked delivery model 8HPCL has issued a refinery-wide APC AMC that shifts risk onto the OEM by linking controller availability directly to invoice deductions. The scope embeds deeper engineering responsibilities across tuning, inferentials and APPNODE maintenance. But the strongest signal sits behind the uptime metric that now shapes how the system will be managed over the next year.
2) Tender deadline pushed to 16 December in second extension for IOCL LUPECH QC lab O&M 8IOCL has issued a second extension moving the LUPECH QC laboratory O&M bid deadline to 16 December 2025. The cumulative shift now totals roughly two months from the original October close. The expanded window suggests deeper bidder preparation rather than any dilution of conditions.
3) Bid deadline for NRL’s PPU centrifugal compressor package extended to 02 December 8EIL has pushed the submission cut-off for the PPU compressor package by seven days. The extension comes despite the earlier indication that schedule flexibility would be limited. Why this particular package required more time is not stated in the document.
4) IGGL extends bid deadline for Duliajan Feeder Line PMC tender by nine days 8IGGL has pushed the submission deadline for the Duliajan Feeder Line PMC tender from 1 December to 10 December. The move signals documentation-heavy participation requirements and a risk of thin competition. Why the extension matters becomes clear once the QCBS and staffing load is unpacked behind the paywall.
5) EIL freezes process basis and liability terms in GAIL’s HPRT package 8Vendors pressed for clarity on vapour fraction, flashing risk and supporting-company obligations, but EIL declined all changes. The client reaffirmed every clause of the retender, keeping the earlier thermodynamic and legal assumptions intact. The stance consolidates risk on OEMs, who must now design for the prescribed parameters without modification.
8ONGC has quietly bought another fortnight for its four-PSV hybrid newbuild tender without diluting any of the technical or contractual bars. 8A 28-day net shift from the original November dates now frames a December bid and opening window for this DP2 and ESS-heavy package. 8Whether that extra time expands competition or simply codifies schedule drift is the question bidders are now asking in the background.

8The owner has quietly rewriteen who can bid and on what terms for this onland rig charter. 8Older rigs and lighter hook-load packages are now welcome, but only with deep API-grade inspection and OEM-backed evidence. Click on Details for moreDetails
8EIL has expanded the desuperheater package by adding a new flare-system group with its own control valve and revised datasheets.The shift alters both technical risk distribution and competitive behaviour across the limited vendor pool. Click on Details for moreDetails
8Participated bidders at ONGC’s Nhava material handling tender have forced the promoter to spell out its new Fair Wage Policy reality in black and white. 8Gratuity is now confirmed as a contractor-only liability for fresh contracts, even as wage revisions remain reimbursable and penalties for daily tonnage shortfalls stay sharp. 8The result is a qualified field of eight players that must turn labour-law clarity into commercially viable rates under an unforgiving operational regime.
