1) Bid deadline extended thrice for EIL’s Dahej PDH-PP vessel package under

EIL’s vessel tender for PLL’s Dahej PDH-PP plant has slid from 3 October to 25 November 2025 after three extensions. The extra 52 days reflect tight fabricator availability and UOP-linked NDA procedures. Bidder qualification and PESO clearances remain unchanged, keeping competition concentrated among few heavy-vessel shops.

2) Third extension pushes EIL bid closure to 18 Nov for BPCL Kochi pump package

Engineers India has granted a third one-week extension for the centrifugal pump tender under BPCL’s Polypropylene Project at Kochi. The cumulative 22-day slip reflects vendor registration and NDA clearance delays under the T.EN-linked confidentiality framework. The shift compresses downstream award timelines for the project’s utility stream.

3) BPCL extends NHGU turbine-generator bid deadline to 18 November

BPCL has extended the NHGU steam-turbine-generator tender by two weeks after OEMs sought additional time for pre-bid clarifications. The extension keeps technical and commercial terms unchanged. It underscores BPCL’s preference for bid-quality assurance over speed in a tightly engineered refinery retrofit.

4) GAIL extends DUPL–DPPL PMC bid by a week after scope and tax revisions

GAIL’s pipeline-augmentation PMC tender will now close on 18 November after back-to-back corrigenda tightened scope and rewrote tax clauses. The extension gives bidders time to price under the new GST rules and a recast single-spread execution model. With QCBS weighting unchanged, the shift tests how EPCM houses adjust to GAIL’s compressed delivery philosophy.

5) Bid submission for BPCL Bina SPP pump package extended to 25 Nov

EIL has granted a two-week extension for the centrifugal pump package under BPCL’s Bina petchem expansion. The move comes amid strict API 610 qualification and licensor-linked NDA obligations. The extension is expected to broaden participation without altering scope or financial terms.

6) Bid timeline pushed to 18 Nov for PLC package for CO? Conversion project

HPCL has extended its GeM tender for the PLC package under its CO? Conversion pilot by a week, signalling slower vendor turnaround despite detailed technical clarity. The extension moves the close from 11 November 2025 to 18 November 2025, retaining all bid and bank-guarantee conditions. The shift suggests delayed vendor mobilization or documentation finalization at a technically dense stage.
