Oct 2025

Arvinder Singh Sahney was appointed IOCL boss in November 2024
8And he launched SPRINT in April, 2025
8And it has, according to the chairman, already in these few months posted some eyebrow raising performance improvement. It will probably be the fast turnaround in global refining history
8If a giant slow moving company like IOCL can SPRINT like this, one is left wondering what really is going on.
8We get you the background story

8Company hardwires floor-price autonomy
Click on Details for more Details
1) OIL HOCU procurement tightens credential-TPI and pre-shipment testing to lock reliability at the factory
8OIL’s HOCU tender hard-wires third-party verification of bidder credentials and dual-layer equipment inspection.
8A ten-year non-obsolescence and spares covenant pushes lifecycle risk back to OEMs.
8The cashflow flips to commissioning performance, changing how bidders price QA and on-site readiness.
 
2) Portable drilling and well control simulator with offshore envelope targeted for rapid commissioning
8ONGC’s ATI wants a portable simulator that still carries full offshore complexity, from riser handling to deepwater floater scenarios.
8IWCF/IADC-aligned modules and physical choke/BOP panels are on the table.
8A five-year AMC, remote diagnostics, and 30-day commissioning signal urgency and lifecycle intent.
 
3) Harsh Engineering wins with a 10.7% edge on offshore overhaul assistance in ONGC N&H Asset
8A three-year, 4,273 man-day assistance contract has gone to Harsh Engineering with a clear margin.
8The envelope covers compressor, turbine-generator and pump overhauls under OEM-FSR supervision on Neelam & Heera.
8The spread suggests contrasting views on mobilization agility and offshore HSE-ready bench strength.
 
4) Truck-mounted spec affirmed and HOC unit age relaxed to 10 years, as duty moves to 18% IGST — ONGC HOC units (Mehsana/Ahmedabad/Jorhat)
8Pre-bid pressure sought OEM gating and stricter credentials.
8ONGC instead fixed the truck-mount mandate, broadened the age window to ten years, and leaned on TPIA and residual-life tests.
8A live customs-duty update to 18% now hard-codes landed-cost math into bids.
 
5) Corrigendum tightens deployment, liability and fleet standards in ONGC coil tubing call-out
8ONGC has reaffirmed a one-day deployment rule with no mobilisation or standby payouts across three assets.
8Equipment flexibility requests were rejected as the buyer locks in a 1-1/4", truck-mounted, ≤10-year fleet.
8A clarified no-charge fishing clause on contractor-caused stuck-coil events sharpens operational accountability.

Pressure-vessel package locks in under zero-deviation terms as EIL picks winner for PLL’s Dahej PDH-PP project
8The pressure-vessel award for PLL’s PDH-PP at Dahej has closed on a zero-deviation, single-envelope composite bid. Payment milestones are unusually granular, shifting liquidity earlier for compliant fabricators. But the bid stack shows an eye-popping spread that raises questions about scope reading and group wise evaluation.

1) Express Global wins ODC route-survey for PRFCC/SRU at BPCL Mahul with steep long-tail bids
8BPCL’s PRFCC/SRU heavy-haul survey drew an L1 and a wide spread to the rest. The scope pushes deep into port, city, and internal-refinery routing up to foundation points. The pricing gap hints at sharply different risk models for intra-Mumbai execution.
 
2) Mahabal wins BPCL Mumbai PRFCCU CTE consultancy with 5.6% margin over L2 in BPCL PRFCCU CTE
8BPCL has awarded the PRFCCU CTE consultancy on GeM with tight delivery and governance knobs. A two-month CAC approval KPI collides with a 20-month PBG tail, shifting risk onto the vendor. The pricing spread hints at a narrow qualified pool and disciplined undercutting.

1) Four date pushes stretch DCS bid window to 17 October in BPCL Bina Petchem & Refinery Expansion
8BPCL and EIL have extended the BPREP DCS bid deadline four times, now landing on 17 October. The package spans 47,000 I/Os across DCS, SIL3 ESD and F&G PLCs, compressing risk into a single control backbone. The longer runway may broaden compliant participation, but it also telegraphs integration complexity.
 
2) Bid date pushed a week for PRU instrumentation in NRL NREP Group A
8NRL and Thyssenkrupp have quietly given bidders seven extra days to lock PRU instrumentation proposals. The documents keep a hard line on PQC evidence and a sharp two-group award split to preserve competition. The commercial clarifications focus on EMD mechanics while leaving core risk-allocation clauses untouched.
 
3) NRL extends Group B instrumentation tender for NREP amid EMD clarifications and vendor queries
8Numaligarh Refinery has granted a seven-day extension for its Group B instrumentation works tender under EPCM-1. The move follows a series of addenda addressing EMD rules and digital pre-bid processes. Industry sources see this as an effort to widen competition while holding firm on technical and timeline standards.
 
4) BPCL Bina’s CDU-VDU condensers bid slides to 13 Oct after three extensions for Bina refinery
8BPCL has pushed its CDU-VDU condenser supply tender three times past the original 23 September close. Pre-bid minutes tightened interpretations on TPI, PBG and scope, but left commercial knobs largely unchanged. The extra 20 days could reshape bidder math on fabrication slots and QA contingencies.
 
5) On-premise APM with widened BEC and strict on-site milestones in GAIL Pata APM project
8GAIL’s pre-bid responses hold the line on on-prem deployment, VAPT and on-site commissioning while expanding who can qualify for ownership and foreign support. The option clause adds a moving-target element on quantities even as SAP integration and asset counts are nailed down. The result is a larger vendor pool but a tighter execution box.
 
6) NRL coalescer package date extended by 14 days, delivery and securities unchanged
8NRL has pushed the bid submission to 13 October 2025 and aligned technical opening to 14 October. The scope, delivery at 10 months DAP, and CPS/WBG framework remain intact. The shift looks administrative, but the NDA-gated, limited tender context suggests competition quality is the real objective.

1) Repeated extensions hint at bidder-pool squeeze as CPCL tightens membrane and spares obligations
8CPCL’s O&M tender for ETP-IV and DMRO at Manali has rolled through four extensions even as it sharpened obligations on membranes, automation AMCs and major spares. The buyer has kept RA pressure and a 25% option clause intact, pushing vendors to price flexibility and durability. Whether this mix broadens competition or concentrates it among a few capable integrators is the real test. Technically, the package spans complex, variable-quality refinery effluents and a full water-cycle (UF/RO/MB) with MINAS compliance — a reliability-driven scope where membrane health and automation uptime define success.
 
2) BPCL Bina pumps tender gets two deadline pushes without changing zero-deviation or delivery clock
8EIL has nudged the bid window for BPCL’s horizontal SPP pump package twice, now pointing to 09-10-2025. The extensions arrived without visible shifts to evaluation, delivery, or EMD architecture. That combination can widen participation while keeping the tender’s compliance screws tight.
 
3) Date extension sharpens compliance, but delivery ambiguity lingers over IOCL Mathura CCRU catalyst
8IOCL has pushed the CCRU catalyst bid date without changing any terms. The move buys bidders time to align platinum funding and Integrity Pact formalities. But a two-versus-four-month delivery signal still needs a precedence-driven fix to protect the charging window.
 
4) Pumps package: Bid window pushed by a week but zero-deviation and groupwise controls hold
8BPCL and EIL have extended the bid due date for the vertical centrifugal pumps package by seven days without softening compliance. The enquiry remains on a zero-deviation, group-wise evaluation track with EMD waived but tougher post-award sureties. Delivery and validity timelines stay firm, pointing to schedule discipline rather than dilution.
 
5) EIL extends bid date by six days for Odisha SV/IP balance civil package in NRL pipeline
8The Part B balance-works tender at four Odisha SV/IP stations has been pushed out by six days. EIL keeps its zero-deviation and percentage-BoQ regime intact, with an SP-2 GST fallback to protect evaluation. The shift looks tactical rather than structural — but it tightens the margin game around a Rs 7.98 crore benchmark.
 
6) Bid window extended by 7 days for CS pressure vessels for BPCL Bina Petchem
8EIL has pushed the bid due date for the BPREP carbon-steel pressure vessel package by one week. Nothing else in the zero-deviation, limited-vendor tender has moved. The extra time may widen compliant participation but leaves the risk posture untouched.

Material handling works-2 locks in logistics discipline under a uniform percentage -over-SOR model at Dahej PP plant
8A limited, two-part e-bid with a three-month validity has drawn three handlers into PLL’s PDH-PP logistics frame. The owner keeps evaluation tight with a pre-filled SOR and strict EMD/CPBG rules. Delivery risk shifts to bidders through manpower/MHE availability and cradle-to-yard documentation.

8Multi-case evaluation and a clarified yield guarantee will shift the contest to technology depth rather than negotiation tactics. But with impurity asks largely pushed back to “follow tender/amendments,” bidders still carry pre-treatment and performance-test risk.

1) Hard no-deviation gates and online price-opening tighten compliance on BPREP compressor package
8BPCL’s Bina expansion tender locks core commercial levers behind a strict no-deviation wall. Online price-opening for qualified bidders raises transparency—and the stakes. The structure favours OEM-anchored bidders that can absorb inspection, certification and site-insurance obligations upfront.
 
2) Kochi PPi cooling-water booster pump bid tightens milestone cash releases and locks bottom-line award
8BPCL’s polypropylene project has pushed a pump package that pays only for real progress. Evaluation and ordering will be on a bottom-line basis, covering all three pump tags. This curbs partial bids and scope fragmentation. It also signals a preference for OEM-level execution capacity over modular assemblers.

8PNGRB floated a two-part authorization bid for a 21 km common-carrier ATF pipeline to Pune airport with a 0.5 MMTPA floor. A late corrigendum slashed the combined net worth bar to Rs 10.50 crore from Rs 105 crore, widening eligibility. The bid now stands cancelled, raising questions on whether competition, airport interfaces, or timing drove the pullback.

8IOCL has closed the QRA consultancy for converting the Panipat–Churwa section from crude to products. Only two firms made the final cut after a heavy round of disqualifications. The winner priced decisively below the global major, setting a sharp benchmark for upcoming pipeline-risk jobs.

1) Pre-bid clarifications harden bidder-side responsibilities and keep PRPL as a contestable common-carrier corridor in PNGRB/Paradip–Raipur LPG pipeline
8PNGRB has declined to intermediate on coordinates, source data, or exclusivity for PRPL. The Board reaffirmed a 5% routing window and left spurs to bidder discretion. The capacity floor stands, but demand alignment with OMCs is squarely a bidder’s burden.
 
2) PNGRB holds line on zero-deviation and common-carrier design in Mumbai–Jalgaon LPG pipeline pre-bid
8Terrain, data and capacity sizing dominated the pre-bid for MAJPL. Bidders asked for coordinates, plant lists and a wider route envelope; PNGRB largely pushed responsibility back to them. The Board’s stance signals discipline on common-carrier readiness and tariff integrity.
 
3) Pre-bid draws hard line on interfaces and exclusivity under common-carrier rules in PNGRB Ennore–Puducherry LPG pipeline
8PNGRB has kept the EPPL authorization tightly aligned to regulations, leaving bidders to stitch together plant interfaces and data. Capacity and route anchors are clear, but coordinates, plant lists and exclusivity assurances are deliberately absent. The big question is whether bidders can price this uncertainty without inflating tariffs or under-delivering throughput.
 
4) Coordinates, spurs and storage pushed to bidders as PNGRB locks common-carrier minimums
8PNGRB’s pre-bid replies keep EGPL’s technical anchors tight but leave on-ground specifics to bidders. The Board affirms BPCL-Gummidipoondi in scope while declining to share coordinates or source parameters. Expect diligence-led cost divergence, especially around spurs, RoU and last-mile tie-ins.
 
5) PNGRB pushes market-led spur design and bidder-sourced data for Cpcl–Madurai LPG corridor
8PNGRB has drawn firm boundaries around what it will and won’t underwrite at bid stage. The board is holding the line on standards and capacity methods while telling bidders to build their own connectivity picture. Optional spurs and a Madurai tie-in keep the network flexible, but also shift execution risk onto bidders.
 
6) PNGRB keeps GHPL data gate shut, pushes bidders to de-risk source and route themselves — Gwalior–Sitarganj LPG pipeline
8The pre-bid clarifications keep core dates, securities and zero-deviation rules intact while declining to share coordinates or plant-level data. Spur lines are allowed at bidder cost but origin/source specifics remain under “review,” keeping hydraulics and bankability in flux. Exclusivity is not promised, making common-carrier discipline the only shield against future parallel routes.

8OMCs have tightened front-end validations and corrected timelines while lowering the per-location allocation floor. The 40% FCI rice requirement in early quarters and a hard cap with rollback guardrails change how grain-based bidders plan feedstock. Freight is indexed, PRC is firmer, and preferential allocation is now evidence-linked to commissioning dates.

8IOCL’s BUP pilot plant bid has now been pushed to 17 October after four extensions. A mid-September corrigendum rewired hazardous-area, instrumentation and vacuum specs, while an October payment tweak introduced a 15% engineering-stage advance. The shifts could reshape bidder mix, delivery risk and pricing.
Click on Details for more Details
1) Bid due date pushed to 10 October for extruder & pelletizer in NRL PPU
8EIL has granted a late-cycle, 10-day extension on NRL’s extruder and pelletizer package. The NDA-gated, limited invitation suggests high entry discipline even as timelines slip. Whether this widens the bidder pool or simply buys compliance time will be clear at unpriced opening.
 
2) NRL’s PID bid clock pushed by 17 days as analytics bar hardens
8Numaligarh has stretched the PIDS bid to 10 October while doubling down on F1-score acceptance and PTZ discipline. The corrections keep REST/ONVIF integration on the bidder while promising fewer false alarms for the refinery. The mix will likely narrow the field but lift the quality of deployments.
 
3) Date extension, tighter TPI, and sump-tank geometry reshape pump buy in BPCL VBPL augmentation
8BPCL has pushed the GeM deadline out to 10 October while tightening inspection to NABCB Type-A and clarifying sump-tank geometry. The RFQ explicitly overrides conflicting GeM fields, signalling a spec-first approach to evaluation and award. The changes shift risk toward vendors on compliance and documentation, but reduce downstream integration surprises.
 
4) Bid due date pushed to 23 October for vessels-ODC package in PLL PDH-PP Dahej project
8EIL has extended the bid submission for PLL’s PDH-PP vessels-ODC package to 23 October. The scope covers heavy-wall drums, driers, a chloride treater, and long hydrogen bullets under strict NDA/integrity controls. The extra 20 days could widen qualified participation and sharpen reverse-auction discovery without diluting zero-deviation discipline.

1) Baghewala heavy-oil UC consultancy bid pushed to 20 October: modelling-heavy SoW unchanged.
8OIL has moved the Baghewala Upper Carbonate consultancy close to 20 October 2025, giving bidders a two-week runway beyond the GeM-posted 06 October date.
8Nothing else shifts — QCBS at 80:20, EMD/ePBG, Integrity Pact, and the modelling-to-pilot-to-FDP discipline stay where they are.
8The extra days will matter only to teams that convert DFN/geomech and CMG STARS work into bankable pilot designs.
 
2) Sand consolidation tender closing extended to 14 October.
8The closing date has slipped again.
8The extension sits comfortably within OIL’s standard discretion to move timelines.
8Whether this widens the field or compresses award sequencing is the real story.
 
3) Slickline services bid window extended to 14 October 2025.
8The slickline package gets more time, but the bar gets higher.
8A new EMD validity and TPI-attested PQC stack raise compliance costs while OIL clamps down on bid flexibility.
8The prize is access to a four-year intervention backbone — if bidders can clear the gates.
 
4) CT-acid services bid deadline moved to 15 October amid tighter specs.
8A mid-October deadline gives bidders time to recalibrate to a 10k-psi BOP stack and tougher field logistics.
8Acidization success is no longer a volume scoreboard but a completion-of-program test.
8The spread will hinge on who can marry cryo continuity with carbonate execution at scale.

1) Corrigendum consolidates buyer-added ATC and locks option-clause flexibility for HCI/NAS refresh.
8The buyer has replaced scattered clauses with a single controlling ATC text to eliminate ambiguity.
8The bid now hardwires a ±25% option with formula-based delivery time and keeps Integrity Pact compliance front-and-center.
8Re-issued SOW/STC/tech packs tighten OEM-led architecture and lifecycle obligations for a high-availability HCI/NAS stack.
 
2) Corrigendum tightens PPP-MSE rules and extends bid window for pipeline network works.
8The tender refines MSE preference language and subcontracting rules while pushing digital-first securities.
8The price sheet has been unlocked to standardise quotations.
8The participation window is stated as extended to 13 October 2025, though the accessible GeM pages still show the original 10 October timings.
 
3) Ground flare bid closing extended to 10 October.
8The tender for an enclosed ground flare has been extended to 10 October, buying time for sharper civil and interface assumptions.
8The client keeps the header/KOD/WSD while shifting EGF foundations to the bidder with a separate price line.
8A nearby soil report is shared, but the site-specific foundation basis remains open — and that is where this bid will be won or lost.
 
4) Microgrid tender deadline pushed to 16 October with scope unchanged.
8The bid closing and opening have been shifted to 16 October 2025.
8Nothing else in the tender moves, keeping securities, two-bid discipline and post-commissioning support intact.
8The extra days are likely to sharpen IIT-vetted designs and multi-site mobilisation plans without altering the competitive calculus.
 
5) Gas genset bid date extended to 15 October under same compliance bar.
8The tender for 3×1 MW gas generator units has been moved to 15 October 2025, the second extension from the original 26 September close.
8Nothing else in the commercial or technical stack shifts, preserving emissions compliance, SAT requirements and civil responsibilities.
8The added runway favours bidders who tune gas-train rangeability and parallel-operation dynamics for motor-heavy duty without leaning on change orders.

1) Batch mix downsized and displacement tank added in scope corrections in ONGC Assam Asset MPPU
8ONGC has trimmed batch-mix volume while inserting a dedicated displacement tank into the MPPU spec.
8The hydraulic duty points stay unchanged, but the HMI and DAS interfaces have been selectively simplified.
8The commercial framework tightens around digital securities and time-bound performance bonds without softening PQCs.
 
2) Tender for RoW/RoU line walking under PS-1 Duliajan cancelled
8Oil India has pulled the plug on its three-year pipeline patrolling package under PS-1 Duliajan.
8The scope had demanded GPS-logged sweeps, rigid PVR/medical compliance, and on-call night patrols.
8The cancellation pauses outsourcing and pushes integrity risk back in-house—for now.
 
3) Seven-day bid deadline push to 14 October for ONGC Aliabet TZ 3D seismic
8ONGC has extended the bid closing by a week on its complex Aliabet land/TZ/OBN acquisition package.
8The shift buys bidders time to align PQC proofs, vessel rosters, and digital submissions without slipping the exploration calendar.
8Expect a deeper bench of TZ-capable offers, but the compliance bar remains unaltered.
 
4) Bid deadline extended to 13 October for three-year intelligent pigging survey IRC in ONGC/Onshore Pipeline Group
8ONGC has pushed its IPS item-rate contract closing to 13 October.
8The technical and risk clauses stay intact, including tough “no-pay on unsuccessful ILI” remedies.
8The 26-day window is a bid-depth play, not a dilution of standards.
 
5) HWO/snubbing unit bid pushed to 10 October with GST reset and stricter OEM proofs in Oil India
8A second extension pushes the HWO/snubbing tender into mid-October, signaling OIL’s appetite for a larger, cleaner bidder set.
8Simultaneously, GST has been reset to 18% even as essentiality paperwork remains a dispatch gate.
8Add-ons on parent/subsidiary eligibility, FAT/type-tests and a ±25% option clause could reshape pricing and delivery strategies.
 
6) ONGC hot-oil unit hiring slips to 17 October as securities and precedence tighten — ONGC/CPD Mumbai
8The HOC services tender now runs 95 days beyond the original calendar, reshaping bidder logistics and OEM tie-ups.
8ONGC has locked in RTGS/e-BG/insurance surety options and a strict precedence ladder to cut post-award friction.
8But with no stated reason for the delay, market players are reading the move as calendar management rather than a spec reset.

1) Whipstock side-tracks go factory-mode with single-trip KPIs and call-out LDs in ONGC offshore drilling
8ONGC’s three-year whipstock window-milling rate contract pushes single-trip success and strict retrieval penalties.
8A new call-out value formula hard-links delay to liquidated damages while customs-anchored paperwork gates lost-in-hole recovery.
8The real story is how many bidders can stock nine mill sets and stand up multi-rig concurrency without blowing cash cycles.
 
2) Plant-grade pigging loop with 72-hour PGTR and PMS/VMS compliance lands on a 90-day clock in ONGC ATI Goa
8ONGC wants a fully piggable training loop built to plant standards, not a classroom toy.
8The spec hard-wires PMS/VMS, intrusive indicators and a 72-hour PGTR into a 90-day delivery window.
8The missing commercial scaffolding keeps risk pricing and bidder appetite as the big unknowns.
 
3) Event-ready oil spill demo with ISO-rated kits and crew splits from a training baseline — ONGC ATI Goa
8ONGC’s training arm wants a real spill-response kit scaled to a pond, not a token classroom set.
8The brief pairs an India Energy Week demo crew with a longer-tail training kit under a 90-day clock.
8The commercial blanks and a wording glitch on demo duration will shape who bids and how they price.
 
4) Plant-grade LPG grid with metering, leak detection and 72-hour PGTR on a 90-day clock — ONGC ATI Goa
8ONGC wants a campus-wide LPG network delivered like a refinery utility, not a kitchen retrofit.
8The spec locks in PMS/VMS, underground protection, detectors and a 72-hour PGTR across 13 legs.
8The missing commercial guardrails will decide who can fund the pace and still hold margins.
 
5) GST uplift to 18% and mobilisation reset to 45 days reshape economics and schedule in ONGC/GPPL liquid mud plant
8ONGC has aligned the LMP tender’s fiscal framework to the latest customs and GST notifications, lifting the concessional rate to 18%.
8A modest mobilisation relief and precise fire-safety clarifications recalibrate execution without loosening technical rigor.
8The new ability to borrow experience could redraw the bidder map, but only for those who can still meet the LMP’s high-spec envelope.
 
6) Participation and techno-commercial opening dates extended for ONGC Cambay Anklav Tee hot tapping valve replacement
8ONGC has pushed back the submission and opening milestones for the Anklav Tee live-line valve-replacement package.
8The move could widen participation in a niche, high-risk scope that few can credibly deliver.
8But a year-mismatch across documents now raises a compliance question that only a clarificatory note can settle.

1) ONGC MIND tightens delivery control but widens eligibility in DOT SI empanelment replies
8Subcontracted “experience” is in, subcontracted “resources” are out.
8Integrity pacts can be e-signed while performance security clocks back to 15 days.
8The calendar shifted, but the risk architecture stayed put.

2) Bid extended and shutdown rules stiffened in OIL Hasimara exposure repair
8The Hasimara crossing just got more exacting on execution while the clock on bidding ticks a little longer.
8A 48-hour shutdown window with twin teams and hot-standby kit will test contractor readiness.
8The cash and compliance knobs look modest but surgical — the pricing story sits behind those standby hours.

3) Corrigendum opens PQC gate and extends bid window, while TPI tails go no-cost for overruns in ONGC Hazira
8Hazira’s inspection tender quietly widens the gate for newcomers even as it stiffens the service tail.
8The bid clock moves out, but the one-year post-completion oversight stays unpriced. The real contest is who can carry unpaid schedule drift without cracking margin.

4) Bid window extended and STQC-Indian pivot as HA core fixed at 160 channels for Sun
8SunPetro quietly hardens the Bhaskar-I CCTV spine to a 160-channel HA design while nudging bidders toward STQC-approved Indian makes.
8The date push gives breathing space, but Fortinet legacy constraints will still test interoperability.
8The real margin hinge is throughput, storage, and RF reliability over 30 km in monsoon season.

5) Corrigendum lifts List-33 concession to 18% and hardwires integrity pact, as bid clocks to 10 October in ONGC’s ETP multi-asset hire
8The tax dial on petroleum-ops imports just turned, and with it the margin maths on mobile ETPs.
8Governance tightens through integrity pact and online securities, while schedule discipline stays unforgiving.
8The winners will be those who read the List-33 fine print and still move plants inside four days.

6) Corrigendum locks pre-bid for 8 October and tightens QCBS guardrails as UBD study clocks to 21 October in OIL UBD consultancy
8Oil India has fixed the room and the hour for the UBD debate, and raised the technical bar to clear it.
8The QCBS matrix favours real basin expertise over price theatre.
8The margin hinges on how fast teams can turn Assam data into a defensible UBD business case.

1) KDMIPE moves to lock in high-resolution in-situ geochron capability with LA-MC-ICP-MS
8ONGC’s KDMIPE has issued a non-binding EOI for a full-stack LA-MC-ICP-MS with stringent resolution, detector and laser mapping specs.
8The package goes beyond hardware, mandating standards/spikes, gas systems, and 10-year software upgrades with demonstrations on zircon and allied minerals.
8Vendors with documented Indian service depth and geology workflows will find the scope exacting but bankable.
 
2) Drill pipe spinner buy tightens kit-completeness and inspection discipline
8ONGC’s central buy locks minimum torque/rpm, air-demand limits and complete accessory bundles for 21 spinners across five work-centres.
8The contract leans on QAP-led final inspection with ONGC-borne TPI and a moderate 3% PBG.
8Bidders face strict PQCs and documentation hygiene, favouring manufacturers and authorized channels over traders.
 
3) O&M scorecard goes hard: ONGC Rajahmundry/Narsapur DG set contract ties full pay to 98% KPIs and prefers e-BGs
8A small-ticket utility tender just raised big-ticket compliance stakes.
8ONGC has yoked monthly payouts to a 98% scorecard while keeping penalties on a separate track.
8The cashflow message to bidders is unambiguous—and the operational bar even more so.
 
4) Pre-bid hardens mobilisation and consumables rules as ONGC offshore crane O&M tender shifts LD and readiness levers to asset level
8A 45-day mobilisation bar just became 60 days, but the finish line is stricter and auditable.
8Consumables for every crane move squarely into contractor scope with an explicit penalty cap, while LD stays anchored to the asset, not platform.
8Vendors now win on yard logistics, documentation hygiene, and work-order discipline — not auction agility.
 
5) Pre-bid clarifies geometry and cost adjustments as ONGC Aliabet TZ 3D seismic tender keeps weather and heli risks on bidders
8ONGC nailed down the TWT/depth envelope and put numbers to depth and charge-size adjustments.
8Bidders were refused relief on bad-weather standby and helicopter crew-change, keeping HSE and met risk squarely external.
8The calendar moved by a week, but the risk architecture did not.

1) OIL open hole logging units tender hard-wires OEM depth, third-party verification and ESG to police quality over a 10-year AMC
8OIL has issued an ICB for two complete open hole logging units with full tool suites and a decade-long AMC.
8The bid asks for 10-year OEM pedigree, independent document verification and an ESG questionnaire for high-value orders.
8Explosives and radioactive supplies are decoupled with OIL-led permitting, which will shape mobilisation maths.
 
2) Import substitution EOI fixes API-grade bars and lab comparators across drilling, completion and chemical supplies
8OIL’s latest INDEG phase invites domestic vendors to clear high technical bars before any bulk buys. API/ISO validations,
8TPIA and reference-based lab acceptance move the gate from brand to data.
8The upside is entry via development orders; the downside is upfront sample and documentation load.
 
3) Schedule ambiguity and DDP risk shift define SunPetro’s Bhaskar-1 6-inch HP gas pipeline tender
8SunPetro wants a ~95 barg, 6-inch, ~19 km send-out line built fast with two spreads and tight inspection gates.
8The ITB hands the owner wide award, termination, and de-hire discretion while pushing logistics and permitting burdens onto the EPC.
8But conflicting completion periods and mixed signals on e-submission vs hard-copy could reshape bidder risk pricing if left unresolved.
 
4) Offshore 200 kVA gas genset buy sharpens HSE and uptime demands
8SunPetro’s Alphabob platform seeks a prime-duty 200 kVA gas unit with CPCB IV+ emissions, strict 75 dB(A) acoustics and a 72-hour endurance run.
8The scope hard-wires offshore protections, CO? canopy flooding and DGMS-aligned deliverables while splitting marine-lift responsibilities.
8Tight PQCs and inclusive pricing point to a concentrated OEM field where execution discipline will decide.
 
5) SunPetro west-coast AHTS charter hardens downtime economics, softens PBG lock-up
8DP-II AHTS with ≥80-ton bollard pull and heavy fluids capacity are in play, but with a stricter suspension and off-hire regime.
8Annual-value PBG and 30-day hire payments ease the cash side even as owners shoulder tighter uptime risk.
8The fine print on early termination and bid-bond amount is where the competitive edge will be decided.

8BPCL’s first amendment to the Andhra polypropylene licensor tender quietly retools the compliance plumbing.

8EIL has rejected all attempts to loosen the UPS package, from cable swaps to rear-clearance demands. Delivery stays locked to the purchase order date, not drawings, and FO termination is firmly in bidder scope. A tight option clause and RFQ-over-GeM hierarchy complete a buyer-leaning construct.

1) EMD waived, trader licence mandatory: IOCL Gujarat Refinery narrows field for exchange power buy
8IOCL Gujarat Refinery wants a Category-I CERC trader with exchange membership and a one-year, 5 MWh-average trading track record. EMD is off the table, but compliance and HSE obligations are uncompromising. The bid opens in two parts with price discovery gated behind technical clearance.
 
2) Paradip sulphuric acid and cetane improver tanks consultancy packs a 30-day clock
8IOCL has opened a two-bid consultancy tender for designing a sulphuric acid tank and a cetane improver tank at Paradip. The NIT sets a 30-day completion bar with no EMD but a 5% ePBG. Tight refinery-grade PQCs and OISD compliance will shape who shows up—and who stays competitive.
 
3) GAIL PMC tender hardwires design discipline and SOR-only pricing for gas delivery project
8GAIL’s new PMC package bakes governance into the scope, from HAZOP enforcement to time-boxed drawing approvals. A strict SOR-only price path and “no ITC” stance will reshape bid math and filter the field. Inspection travel being deemed-included forces leaner expediting and real execution chops.
 
4) Design-heavy HFHSD build at Naob Rambilli tightens quality gates with IIT vetting
8IOCL has rolled out a limited-panel, design-first tender for its HFHSD facility at Naob Rambilli. The contract hard-wires OISD/PNGRB/API-650 compliance and makes IIT vetting a payment trigger. Tighter jurisdictional and access controls could reshape bidder strategies and price discipline.
 
5) BPCL seeks legal due diligence and advisory partner via limited tender
8BPCL has launched a limited tender to onboard a legal due diligence and advisory consultant. The bid runs on the C1 India portal with a techno-commercial split and policy overlays. Key securities and liability anchors are not disclosed, keeping pricing strategy in flux.
 
6) Survey tender for 2nd SPM corridor leans on hazard atlas and RA discipline in HPCL Visakh refinery
8HPCL has pushed the onshore pipeline survey for its second SPM to GeM with a reverse-auction spine. The package hard-wires multi-hazard planning but leaves data/KPI specifics to inference. A PQC–GeM mismatch on MSME/Startup relaxations could reshape the bidder pool.
