The extension is not just a date change: bid validity and certain security logistics move… – Andhra Refinery Update, 22 Jan 2026

1) VCM licensor tender slips 57 days as EIL extends bid due date

The extension is not just a date change: bid validity and certain security logistics move with the “final” deadline, quietly reshaping bidder behaviour.

2) Technical amendment tightens flare philosophy, feed specs and sop-linked pricing for GTU licensor package

The licensor selection just shifted from “pick a technology” to “prove the design logic on paper,” with SIL now expected to show up in the P&ID trail. The amendment also rewrites key gasoline feed-property assumptions and forces bidders to declare how they are counting mitigated versus unmitigated flare loads.

3) PVC licensor package tender extended

The tender’s heavy reference-and-verification burden means the extra time could reshape who stays compliant and who drops out. But the extension extract is unusually light on revised dates, creating a coordination risk unless bidders pull the full CPPP corrigendum.
