8The package now looks less like a conventional refinery tender and more like a controlled technology-selection exercise.

Behind the paperwork, the tender may be signalling how India’s refiners now intend to de-risk petrochemical integration projects.

8The BQC structure is unusually tight. BPCL effectively filters out weak or regionally limited licensors by demanding non-captive, international, commercial reference plants for both e-SBR and s-SBR.
