PLL PDH-PP Dahej pumps slip to 17 September as EIL keeps EMD/RA off and hard-gates milestone-1 to CPBG/ABG

A limited, NDA-gated pump package has now seen two extensions, stretching the window by 27 days. EMD and reverse auction are off the table even as SCC ties first payment to CPBG/ABG. The mix lowers bid friction but tightens post-award liquidity—watch how the vendor pool reacts.
