OIL pushes Mahanadi mud logging bid close to 15 September; scope and securities unchanged 8The mud logging tender gets 11 extra days but no softening of the kit or compliance grid. 8That hints at a participation-quality play rather than a scope rethink. 8The pricing game now pivots to who can certify and transmit faster without loading risk premiums. Bid closing pushed to 11 September, scope tightened on pullback and mud systems for ONGC Cuddapah Basin air-hammer package. 8ONGC has extended bid closing by 31 days even as it hardens technical guardrails. 8The corrigendum locks in pullback capacity, tank sizes, and stricter milestone gating. 8Whether more time translates into broader, compliant participation is the question bidders must answer. Bid closing pushed to 10 September with governance intact for Oil India 125 MT workover rigs. 8Oil India has moved its rig procurement deadline to 10 September without loosening 8PQCs or cash-security terms. 8The extension stacks on six prior date shifts under a strict API and verification regime. 8Whether the added runway broadens qualified participation is the real test. Bid window pushed to 16 September for two AHTS charter for Oil India KG Basin project. 8Oil India has slid its AHTS bid window by two weeks but kept every risk clause intact. 8The move could broaden vessel offers without softening LD or insurance floors. 8Owners now have time to align DPO crew, TPI inspection, and customs paths — or sit out.

Western Offshore fluids tender hard-wires inventory and lab penalties 8ONGC’s Western Offshore fluids tender turns inventory into a contractual KPI with LD teeth. 8Corporate-spec lab gates and a 1% ACV penalty per failed formulation signal zero tolerance for quality drift. 8With 869 phases and 15 rigs to serve, the risk now sits squarely with vendors. Order-of-precedence, long ePBG and OEM-grade scope set a high-control pigging package in ONGC Western Offshore 8ONGC’s Western Offshore pigging tender pairs OEM-grade specifications with a hard-nosed security regime. 8The buyer elevates ATC/BEC over GTC and adds a monthly levy if the PBG slips. 8The cashflow math and shutdown logistics will decide who can credibly bid. ONGC tests alternate CAT-aligned MRO routes with OEM-strict overhauls on six jack-ups 8ONGC’s drilling services team has floated an EOI to overhaul Caterpillar 3512B/C engines under an OEM-strict MRO regime. 8Genuine spares certification, offshore in-situ execution, and a 72-hour full-load run frame the reliability bar. 8The fiscal signal is equally direct: a 5% GST stance and duty-free import support to attract credible alternates. OIL trims Mahanadi ME & DWM scope to five wells and builds flex with a ±25% option 8Oil India has halved the base well count and shortened the term, but kept a ±25% lever to scale on need. 8Personnel swap windows move to ten days, easing contractor execution risk. 8A QC-heavy SOW and penalties signal that uptime and API-grade chemistry will decide who clears tech screens.

8The pre-bid minutes show OIL saying yes to integrity and safety, and mostly no to capex-light shortcuts. 8Electrical top drive, three pumps, and buffer tank stay non-negotiable. 8The calendar gets more breathing room, but the spec envelope does not. Click on Details for moreDetails
KBC edges out McKinsey and BCG in NRL refinery performance consultancy award under tightened liability terms 8NRL’s refinery performance improvement consultancy drew bids from KBC, McKinsey and BCG, with spreads above 100%.

Mixed pricing in OEM liaison award as Satna clears 32.5% above estimate while Indore/Raipur sit at parity. 8IOCL has split the Madhya Pradesh–Chhattisgarh OEM liaison into three clusters and found three different L1s. Two CFAs cleared almost on the estimate while Satna printed a steep premium. The SLA-heavy contract structure will now test last-mile execution discipline more than bid math. Vijay Tanks wins BPCL Kochi desalter revamp as EIL tightens tax/customs guardrails — BPCL/EIL 8A three-way domestic contest ended with Vijay Tanks at Rs 10.89 crore, ahead by 17.2% over L2. EIL’s bid sheet leans harder on GST-ITC clawback and “no variation” on BCD/SWS, pushing compliance and customs risks to vendors. The site-work floor at 15% signals zero tolerance for paper-thin field quotes. Mantec takes L1 in BPCL Kochi sulphuric acid and SAF EIA consultancy as LD halved and scope burden shifts 8BPCL’s Kochi EIA consultancy has been awarded with a striking 48% price gap between L1 and L2. Consultants now shoulder public hearings and baseline risks, but liquidated damages have been softened.

Urja Bio System wins Pathmeda CBG upgrade PMC with a 481.1% gap to L2 in HPCL Pathmeda CBG plant 8HPCL has moved fast on a CBG reliability fix at Pathmeda, awarding the PMC on a two-packet GeM run. The winning price is a fraction of the runner-up’s, pointing to starkly different reads of scope and risk. The SOW’s performance guarantees and sand-control engineering will decide whether this low bid holds in execution. GMM Pfaudler edges Patels Airtemp by 0.5% in high-flux heat exchanger tender — Petronet LNG PDH-PP, Dahej 8A zero-deviation, NDA-gated package drew a two-horse race at the top and risk-loaded bids below.

The BQC is flagged as “tentative,” hinting at recalibration after the pre-tender meet. PPP-MII eligibility applies, but MSE purchase preference is out — tilting the field to capability. OMCs front-load compliance and quality gates in biodiesel B-100 empanelment 8IOCL’s biodiesel empanelment tightens the screws on documentation and lab conformance before a single kilolitre moves. A mandatory NABCB Type-A TPIA check now sits alongside an integrity pact enforced by IEMs. Quantity and negotiation controls further tilt leverage to the buyer without stretching vendor cash cycles. GAIL tightens liquidity and lifetime integrity norms in pan-India pipeline augmentation ARC tender 8GAIL’s latest rate contract for cross-country pipeline and CGD hookups is not business as usual. MSME bidders face a cashflow wall, and QA/QC demands have escalated to 100% inspection.

The scope is tightly engineered, from ASME-stamped fabrication to nitrogen-purged transport. But unusual clauses on spares, tools and certificate relaxations could reshape bidder pools.
