1) EMD relief narrowed, monsoon clock clarified as ONGC extends 2D broadband seismic bid 8ONGC has answered pointed pre-bid queries on its 2D broadband seismic tender while quietly reshaping how empanelled vendors access EMD exemption. 8The corporation has granted a seven-day bid extension and clarified that monsoon demob/remob time will not eat into the 6/5-month acquisition windows. 8But its refusal to loosen tight QC thresholds means only operators with truly robust vessels, crews and balance sheets will find this extended window worth using.
2) ONGC pushes CNG trucks bid closing to 08 December 2025 without easing EMD or PQC filters in Mehsan 8ONGC has quietly granted bidders an extra week to respond to its three-year CNG trucks tender from Mehsana. 8The closing date now lands on 08 December 2025, but every key filter — from group-wise EMD slabs to strict experience criteria — remains intact. 8Bidders have been given more time, not a softer playing field.
3) Two-week bid extension puts spotlight on PEL NK CBM workover rig tender dynamics 8PEL has quietly pushed the bid closing date for its NK CBM workover rig tender from 21 November to 05 December 2025. 8The extension adds time but leaves stringent eligibility, EMD and PBG requirements untouched. 8How bidders use this extra window — and how PEL reads the response — will shape the next round of CBM contracting.
4) Drilling fluid contract: Consortiums open to foreign entities 8There is more clariity on who can bid and how they must prove it. 8Consortiums no longer need every member incorporated in India, but documentation, insurance and dosage rules have simultaneously become more stringent. 8The real impact will be felt in which service companies stay competitive once these new guardrails are applied in evaluation.
5) Oil India cementing and BHP mega-tender gets 91-day bid window 8Oil India has quietly pushed the GeM bid deadline for its Rajasthan cementing and BHP services package out to 12 December 2025. 8The three-month extension comes without any relaxation in EMD, ePBG or technical demands, keeping the entry bar firmly in place. 8The move raises questions on bidder appetite, security tolerance and how Oil India wants to shape its vendor pool for critical well-construction work.
6) ONGC pushes Rajahmundry LTSOBM drilling-fluids mega-tender to 15 December 2025 after second deadline reset 8ONGC has granted one more extension to its flagship LTSOBM drilling-fluids tender for 18 Rajahmundry wells, moving the bid close to 15 December 2025. 8The dates shift again, but the hard edges of the contract—HPHT scope, strict experience norms and a no-consortium stance—remain untouched. 8The market now has more time on the clock, but not more room on the terms.
8ONGC has quietly rewired its deepwater drillship tender so that bid currency, bid security and customs assumptions now hinge on local content and new risk norms. 8The latest corrigendum stretches EMD instruments, re-issues the price bid format and moves key operational clauses into tougher special conditions. 8How bidders absorb the liquidity hit and compliance load will decide who can stay competitive in this high-stakes charter.

1) GAIL’s Cauvery Basin integrity tender narrows field as only two bidders meet strict FFS/RLA qualifications 8GAIL’s technical-bid scrutiny has trimmed the competition to two established integrity consultants. Strict PQCs, liability norms and unaltered GCC clauses shaped the outcome. The disqualification pattern reveals how demanding documentation and pipeline-diameter criteria continue to restrict vendor participation.
2) IOCL Panipat Refinery filters vendor pool as technical scrutiny tightens for TS-department support contract 8The technical-bid stage shows how IOCL’s statutory-heavy SOW reshapes bidder eligibility. A fixed-wage floor and multi-location deployment obligations trimmed one-third of the field. The deeper signals emerge from the mix of data-support and manpower tasks that only select vendors could credibly staff.
1) Electrical O&M tender for COT–AMPL corridor withdrawn as HRRL reassesses post-commissioning manpower model 8HRRL has cancelled its GeM tender for unified electrical, CP and instrumentation support across the COT–AMPL stretch. The move comes even as commissioning punch-points and OISD compliance work continue along the 341 km pipeline system. The withdrawal signals a deeper rethink of how the refinery should structure its long-term O&M load.
2) GAIL cancels HVJ pipeline FFS and engineering assessment tender after date-shift round 8GAIL has withdrawn its HVJ FFS/engineering-assessment tender despite issuing a date-only corrigendum a week earlier. The scope, qualification bars and QCBS structure remained unchanged throughout, suggesting an internal programme-level trigger rather than bidder-side issues. The cancellation now leaves a key pipeline-integrity workstream without an active procurement route.
3) PNGRB cancels CPCL–Madurai LPG pipeline tender amid unresolved commercial and routing risks 8Bidders repeatedly highlighted gaps in source assurance, exclusivity signals, and ROU access, but PNGRB retained its zero-deviation stance. The regulator’s clarifications asked bidders to absorb these uncertainties fully, raising questions about project bankability. The cancellation now underscores a wider rethink on how greenfield LPG pipelines should be structured.
1) BPCL tightens liability, payment and digital control in steam cracker licensor tender 8BPCL’s latest commercial amendment and pre-bid clarifications sharply reshape the licensor’s risk envelope. Liability caps, dispute mechanisms and digital-engineering obligations now carry materially harsher conditions than the base tender. The combined effect will alter bidder participation and long-term NPV-based competitiveness.
2) BPCL raises design pressures and tightens liability framework in licensor amendment for Ramayapatnam PP unit 8BPCL’s latest technical and commercial amendments recalibrate both engineering and legal exposure for the polypropylene licensor. The changes elevate utility design pressures, redefine raw-material guarantees, and impose strict caps on pre-investment payments. The result is a sharper, higher-accountability licensor package heading into final evaluation.
3) BPCL rewrites licensor obligations as digital-engineering, liability and payment terms shift in LLDPE/HDPE swing-unit amendment 8BPCL’s latest amendment for the Ramayapram LLDPE/HDPE swing-unit tender fundamentally alters engineering, liability and payment structures. Intelligent P&ID requirements are withdrawn while hydrogen is added to guarantee calculations, reshaping licensor exposure. The commercial amendment tightens risk allocation even as procedural barriers such as EMD are removed.
4) PVC licensor tender at Ramayapattinam scrapped after zero participation 8The licensor package for BPCL’s proposed 600 KTPA PVC unit has been cancelled after no bids were received. The outcome exposes how demanding BQC filters and revised product-specification guarantees narrowed the eligible licensor field. It raises immediate questions on sequencing for the wider Ramayapattinam petchem complex.
1) BOQ-heavy turnaround structure shapes the technical lens in Mumbai refinery 8The tender relies solely on itemised quantities across scaffolding, welding, machining, valves and exchangers. No narrative SOW or TA philosophy is included. The absence increases interpretation risk for shutdown-critical jobs.
2) MRPL tightens scaffolding controls with high-penalty ARC framework refinery-wide service contract 8MRPL has issued a clause-heavy scaffolding ARC that rewrites material, safety, and measurement norms across operating units. Contractors face multi-layer certification, minimum inventory locks, and steep retention penalties. The structure signals a shift toward reliability-driven contracting where price is secondary to control.
3) HPCL tightens integrity controls with high-rigour CIPL and DCVG mandate on MPSPL–BOPL corridor 8HPCL’s new tender imposes uncommon synchronisation, validation and corridor-compliance demands across the 296-km pipeline stretch. The contractor must absorb methodology risks, excavation verification liabilities and complex permission requirements through industrial and restricted zones. The structure signals a decisive shift toward high-confidence defect localisation before coating rehabilitation.
4) HPCL pushes turnaround NHGU reformer-IBR tender deadline twice as bidders seek more runway 8HPCL has extended its NHGU reformer and IBR service tender from 20 November to 2 December, adding 12 days of bid runway. The absence of scope or PQ changes suggests bidder-readiness rather than documentation issues. The move delays evaluation but signals HPCL’s intent to widen participation in a resource-tight TA season.
1) Multiple extensions signal bidder hesitation on licensor-bound tower internals in BPCL BPREP 8The tower-internals package for BPCL’s BPREP has now seen four bid-date extensions, stretching the window by over five weeks. Vendors appear to be navigating NDA gating and stringent Lummus-linked requirements under a zero-deviation regime. The repeated delays hint at a tight vendor pool and high specification risk.
2) BPCL-MR pushes NHT catalyst bid as PQC-heavy tender draws longer bidder preparation cycles 8BPCL has extended the NHT catalyst tender deadline by three days after a heavy documentation load slowed bidder readiness. The shift preserves competition in a technically demanding package dominated by proven-performance requirements. The downstream impact will be felt in how suppliers recalibrate their yield and catalyst-life guarantees ahead of price discovery.
3) IOCL extends IATF 16949 consultancy bid by one week for Mumbai lube plant 8IOCL has pushed the bid deadline for its IATF 16949 consultancy package by seven days amid tightening qualification filters. The extension comes as bidders scramble to assemble mandatory evidence of prior IATF certification work. What this means for participation depth and certification timelines remains unresolved.
1) ONGC’s MBA basin call-out tender locks in three-year high-spec reservoir testing regime 8ONGC has moved its core reservoir testing work for the WB-ONN-2005/4 onland block onto a tightly scripted custom bid. 8A three-year call-out contract with no minimum jobs and automatic overrun extension now frames how pressure-transient and PVT data will be acquired in the basin. 8Behind the headline scope sit demanding HPHT specifications, a limited vendor club and risk allocation choices that could shape future upstream service contracts in eastern India.
2) GSPC rolls out integrated PSV and separator integrity callout contract across CB blocks 8GSPC has bundled PSV servicing and separator/KOD hydrotesting for four CB onshore blocks into a single, OISD-anchored integrity package. 8The contract leans heavily on PESO-competent personnel, NABL-calibrated instruments and detailed MAWP and remaining-life certification to keep aging production hardware in safe service. 8Behind the technical veneer sit a tight risk-transfer regime and a looming novation to Gujarat Gas Limited that will shape how vendors price and negotiate this work.
3) Pujitha Constructions takes deeply discounted L1 slot in three-year workover civil ARC 8ONGC’s Rajahmundry Asset has discovered that its own civil cost benchmark for workover rigs was 30% above the winning market price. 8Ten bidders chased a three-year ARC in island and Amalapuram areas, yet only one went this deep below the estimate while others stayed cautiously under. 8How that combination of tight control clauses and aggressive discounting plays out on the ground will decide whether this becomes a new pricing template or a one-off outlier.
4) L1 discount of up to 27% sets new benchmark for offshore logistics risk pricing for ONGC Nhava Supply Base material handling 8ONGC has closed its Nhava Supply Base material handling tender on a tight but telling price band. 8An eight-way spread of up to 27.3% above L1 reveals how differently contractors price the same tonnage, penalties and IR obligations. 8The real story now is whether the winning bidder can carry this risk-heavy contract for three years without cracking margins or labour peace.
5) Three-cornered race at ONGC Hazira ARC as bidder clarifications lock in tougher readiness and tie-breaker rules 8The trio are now competing under a clarified but tougher ARC framework at ONGC’s Hazira plant. 8Offshore Marinetech’s queries have nailed down who carries emergency stock risk, how LD and payments will work and what counts in L1 tie-breakers. 8How each bidder prices these clarified obligations will decide who survives ONGC’s TPIA-driven techno-commercial sieve.

8The company has issued a tightly engineered tender for drone-based inspection across stacks, cooling-water systems and RCC structures during a turnaround. The scope embeds advanced thermal imaging, repeatable-flight requirements and stringent pilot qualifications typically seen only in high-risk downstream assets.

8The tender embeds multi-layered experience filters for pipeline length, class rating, and station experience. A high 75-mark cut-off reshapes the competitive landscape. Bidders must demonstrate structured, verifiable expertise across engineering and commissioning Click on Details for moreDetails
8HPCL has issued a multi-airport consultancy tender that merges soil investigation, design engineering, and construction supervision under one framework. The scope leans heavily on statutory-grade designs, PESO-ready drawings, and precision-defined man-month supervision.
