PNGRB's pipeline contracting brief: Part I – 3 Nov 2025

1) PNGRB shifts PRPL bid to 30 December, length to 650 km

The PRPL tender now closes on 30 December 2025 with technical opening on 5 January 2026. PNGRB’s corrigendum also raises the route length to 650 km and the minimum combined net worth to Rs 390 crore. The framework keeps capacity and bid structure unchanged while giving bidders time to recalibrate.

2) PNGRB pushes MAJPL to 600 km and extends bidding by 91 days

A late-cycle corrigendum stretches the MAJPL corridor and the clock. Net-worth thresholds rise in lock-step with the longer alignment. The play now favors bidders that can remodel hydraulics and still deliver a sharp tariff.

3) Regulator pushes EPPL to 200 km and extends bid to 01 dec for Ennore–Puducherry LPG pipeline

PNGRB has revised the Ennore–Puducherry LPG line length to 200 km and moved the deadline to 01 Dec 2025. Net-worth eligibility also rises to Rs 100 crore, with a new route map issued. The reset changes hydraulics, bidder gating, and filing timelines without altering the common-carrier construct.

4) Ennore–Gummidipoondi LPG pipeline deadline moved to 1 December

PNGRB has extended the EGPL bid by 31 days and raised the minimum net worth threshold. The pipeline length is now fixed at 40 km with a revised route map attached. Technical bids open on 3 December, altering bidder sequencing and internal approvals.

5) PNGRB pushes Cherlapally–Nagpur LPG line to 550 km and extends bid to 30 Dec — Cherlapally–Nagpur LPG pipeline

PNGRB has issued a late-cycle corrigendum that lengthens the Cherlapally–Nagpur LPG pipeline and resets submission to 30 December. The minimum combined net worth and application fee have been raised in tandem with the scope. Tariff math, bid bond and zero-deviation discipline remain intact — but bidders now face 60 days of re-baselining.
