8What this extreme price spread says about risk-loading, vendor strategy and future rotating-equipment bids at Dahej is where the real story lies.

8The owner has framed it around unusually specific paddy-straw experience and heavy performance securities. That combination has already winnowed the technical field down to a single qualified consultant. The real story now is what this means for pricing power, challenges from the disqualified bidder, and future CBG tender design.

8Late-stage amendments have quietly transformed a two-asset, two-year HF and CT tender into a leaner one-year campaign 

8One one bidder dragged itself to participate

8Only two are left in the race
8The survivors are those who navigated not just technical specifications but also TPIA, ESG and steel-policy paperwork without slipping.
8What that means for price discovery, field reliability and the next generation of OIL’s well-services contracts is where the real story now lies.

8Oil India has quietly turned a routine empanelment into a detailed filter on who can touch its next wave of onshore seismic work.

8The physical grid is arriving late
8And in broken pieces rather than as a seamless network

A single  dataset now stitches together India’s green hydrogen ambition into a physical map — production awards, 3 GW of electrolyser factories, refinery offtake, trucking corridors, port bunkering and dozens of test labs.
8The geography is no longer abstract. But money on the ground still trails approvals by a wide margin.
8What remains uncertain is the speed at which funding catches up with ambition.

8And they go somewhere else

All major verticals now have freshly elevated Executive Directors starting 2026.
8This creates a new succession bench just one step below the Board.
A full generational transition is now formally underway inside the PSU.

8A multi-year offshore vessel charter has been locked in at US$25,000 per day
8Rs 54.63-crore 4D seismic acquisition and processing contract has been awarded by a private company

8How this will play out, only time will tell

8How did that happen?

8Explicitly bars the existing pipeline operator from participating, marking a significant regulatory intervention.

8OIL India’s Sadiya integrated drilling service tender has quietly slid from a late-2024 closure to a 30 December 2025 deadline without touching a single commercial clause.
8A chain of corrigenda has done nothing more than re-date the bid calendar while the 1+1 year integrated drilling risk-reward profile stays frozen in place.
8Whether this extended runway deepens competition or simply inflates time-related risk premia is the key question now hanging over the Sadiya campaign.

8A 360-well programme will not have to go through another iteration

1) Ashoknagar pad tender turns civil works into a tightly policed enabler for a four-well FDP campaign
8ONGC’s Ashoknagar FDP pad tender wraps bunds, pits, pile foundations and live drilling-support works into a single percentage-rate package.
8A hard “no-deviation” BEC, layered performance securities and an aggressive Integrity Pact push most site, quantity and conduct risk onto the contractor.
8How bidders price that risk while still chasing a strategic foothold in ONGC’s newest onshore basin is the question the bid opening will answer, not the tender text.
 
2) Pan-India IT backbone contract tests single-vendor resilience for 99% uptime and cyber control
8ONGC has rolled its entire IT estate — from routers, servers and OFC to DISHA, EDR/NDR and PIM — into a single three-year managed services contest with a 99% uptime bar.
8The re-invited GeM bid quietly preserves tough technical BEC from the first round while easing documentation for five pre-screened bidders and tightening commercial discipline through a 40-month PBG and 25 percent option clause.
8How this high-stakes outsourcing of ONGC’s digital spine reshapes vendor risk, cyber posture and future analytics and automation workstreams is what the detailed tender now leaves bidders to decode.
 
3) Mobile corrosion-inhibitor fleets put Tripura and Cauvery flowline integrity under performance-linked service regime
8ONGC is bundling 21 truck-mounted dosing units across Tripura and Cauvery into a single, performance-heavy GeM service contract.
8Corrosion control shifts from ad-hoc inhibitor injection to a quantified regime of six-hour dosing windows, 45-day fluid sampling and GPS-tracked runs tied directly to payment and penalties.
8Whether bidders can live with a 50% LD cap, strict PPE enforcement and no experience exemptions without pricing themselves out will decide how transformative this model becomes for ONGC’s flowline integrity strategy.
 
4) Oily water, leak repair and spill clean-up folded into a three-year misc maintenance ARC at CPF Gandhar
8ONGC has bundled a surprisingly broad mix of mechanical, HSE and housekeeping tasks into a single ARC for its CPF Gandhar hub.
8The bid ties routine valve servicing, flange leak arrest, sewer de-choking and oil spill restoration to a three-year, GeM-based security and governance framework.
8How bidders price this mix of high-risk integrity work and low-intensity chores under a 3 percent, 43-month security regime will decide whether the model becomes a template for other assets.

1) Steep four-way price spread crowns Alerts Securitas as low-priced guardian of PS-1 pipeline corridor
8Oil India’s PS-1 Duliajan pipeline patrol and security job has gone to Alerts Securitas at a price that sits dramatically below three rival bids.
8Behind that headline number lies a dense SOW that marries midstream ROW surveillance with 24/7 security obligations, all under strict RLC wage, HSE and GPS-tracking regimes.
 
2) Corrigendum locks HPWBM GeM bid into option clause, long-dated securities and MSE-integrity framework
8Oil India has quietly rewritten the commercial fine print of its four-year HPWBM GeM bid without touching the demanding drilling brief in Assam and Arunachal.
8A fresh option clause, multi-mode securities and hard-wired MSE purchase preference now sit alongside a stringent integrity pact and GeM’s invalid-ATC guardrails.
8How bidders price this mix of scope volatility, capital lock-up and policy-driven competition will decide who can actually carry the mud in this campaign.
 
3) Seven-day bid extension keeps gas-based SRP genset hiring open under tight securities and safety regime
8ONGC Cambay Asset has quietly pushed back the GeM bid deadline for its gas-based SRP genset hiring by a week, without touching EMD, PBG or the demanding safety SOW.
8The shift buys contractors more time to line up OEM-grade natural gas gensets, hazardous-area compliance and calibrated metering in a two-year, uptime-critical package.
8Whether this modest calendar reprieve broadens participation or simply sharpens risk-pricing around an unchanged LD and indemnity stack is what the extended bid window will now test.
 
4) Seven-day bid extension keeps Oil India Rajasthan–Gujarat 1000 HP mobile rig charter open after mast and drill-collar scope reset
8Oil India has quietly pushed the GeM bid deadline for its Rajasthan–Gujarat 1000 HP mobile rig charter from 5 December to 12 December 2025.
8The short extension lands after a technical amendment that deletes skidding and flexible rig-layout obligations while widening mast and drill-collar options.
8Whether this extra week unlocks stronger competition or simply compresses the drilling calendar under unchanged EMD and performance-security locks is what bidders – and OIL’s western-India rig plan – will now reveal.

8This is a layer of complexity involved.

8This strongly indicates technical friction related to meeting the stringent API 612 compliance standard for rotating equipment

1) BPCL Bina Refinery lubrication programme development: Demanding integrated reliability expertise.
8Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) has structurally accelerated its critical asset integrity drive at the Bina Refinery, mandating a 90-day hard limit for on-site activities under its new lubrication programme development (LPD) tender.
 
2) Petronet LNG's scope expands materially to integrate flare system desuperheater and its coolant control valve package 
8Technical Amendment-01, issued on 21.11.2025, revised the material requisition from two PDH-unit desuperheaters (Group-A) to three, adding a third unit for the flare system (Group-B). Critically, this addition mandates the inclusion of the associated coolant control valve, fundamentally shifting the package from static equipment to an integrated process control system. The move centralises responsibility but requires rapid, specialised engineering capability from the shortlisted vendors.
 
3) BPCL naphtha catalyst tender extends thrice as TPIA-mandated compliance locks up vendor pool.
8BPCL's critical naphtha hydrotreating catalyst tender at mumbai refinery has been pushed back three times, adding 10 days to the bid schedule. This unusual scheduling delay points directly to market friction concerning the stringent new compliance requirement for third-party inspection agency (TPIA) verified qualification documents. The promoter’s zero-tolerance policy, which includes the severe penalty of holiday listing for non-compliance, is testing vendor appetite and driving a significant shift in risk allocation.
 
4) BPCL BPREP emission monitoring package slips 14 days amidst technical vendor crunch.
8The crucial stack gas analyser system package for the Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited's Bina Petchem and Refinery Expansion Project has been delayed by a two-week tender extension.
 
5) HPCL mandates a two-stage catalyst refinement cycle with R&D, shifting procurement to performance co-development for VR FCC
8The EOI moves beyond standard procurement by granting vendors two explicit, fixed-timeline opportunities to reformulate the catalyst based on HPCL's R&D feedback. This iterative process is crucial for achieving the stated technical goal of the lowest possible yield for dry gas, coke, and bottoms. The high upfront R&D investment for bidders signals that HPCL is prioritizing long-term operational efficiency over short-term acquisition cost.
 
6) IOCL extends bid for 175 ktpa SAF project environment clearance at Panipat refinery.
8The extension of IOCL’s specialized tender for environmental impact assessment and rapid risk study signals potential friction in securing regulatory support for the flagship 175 KTPA sustainable aviation fuel project at Panipat.
