Sixth bid-date extension pushes Mahul–Rasayani HDD tender to 30 Sep

BPCL’s HDD package for the Mahul–Rasayani pipelines has now moved its bid due date six times, landing on 30 September. The bars on HDD crossing length, high-tonnage rigs, and financials remain unchanged. The 77-day slippage hints at a capacity-tight HDD market — and a likely shift in bidder strategy.

IOCL has twice deferred the submission dates on its three-group station works tender under the Mundra–Panipat pipeline conversion, now closing on 22 September.

The unusual mix of schedule relief and frozen eligibility sets the tone for sharper competition but leaves IOCL’s award timetable under pressure.

The study window itself has been relaxed to 16 weeks, but reverse auction and a ±25% option clause still frame the commercials. What does that combination do to bidder appetite, pricing discipline, and the quality of the final feasibility?
