1) IOCL awards business entity valuation mandate
8The price gap between the two Big Four bidders is narrow but revealing about how IOCL is policing advisory fees.
 
2) Swan wins EIL-engineered column tray package with a deep undercut at BPCL’s Kochi polypropylene project while peers price in heavy revamp risk
8Swan has walked away with the column trays by undercutting four rivals by up to 67.2%, in a field shaped by PPP-MII, border rules and zero-deviation clauses.

1) Indigenous-only OEM spares tender tightens control on 1000 HP mobile rig mud-pump reliability
8Oil India has opened a single-stage composite tender for OEM F1000 mud-pump spares on its 1000 HP mobile rigs but has quietly restricted the race to indigenous bidders.
8A no-EMD bid security declaration and MSME-linked payment options soften the cash-flow load even as OEM-only clauses harden technical and quality expectations.
8How this balance between localisation, liquidity relief and tight documentation plays out in bidder turnout and pricing is what the award documents will eventually reveal.
 
2) Sri Jaishanth undercuts ONGC estimate by about 41% to win three-year gas detector calibration mandate in ONGC Cauvery Asset.
8A safety-critical gas detector calibration package at ONGC Cauvery Asset has been awarded at a price far below the corporation’s own estimate.
8The SOW is dense with site-specific obligations, split LD, long-tail performance security and an option clause that lets ONGC flex scope and duration.
8How that commercial squeeze plays out over six calibration cycles will shape both HSE reliability and vendor appetite for future Cauvery-Asset service tenders.
 
3) Indian Minerals & Energy Services wins barytes supply contract with 7.7% price gap to L2
8Oil India has quietly closed its latest barytes buy for the KG Basin, but the real story lies in how far it tightened the screws on quality and eligibility.
8A narrow 7.7% spread between the top two bids hints at disciplined pricing in a heavily policed vendor pool.
8The clauses on sampling, OEM control and financial strength say as much about future drilling-chemical tenders as this one award.
 
4) Charge caps, LCU undertakings and PoA relaxations reset risk and compliance for Amaze Maritime, KVR Offshore, Mat Marine and Vrinda Offshore on ONGC’s EOA multi-utility vessel charter.
8ONGC’s MUV charter for EOA has quietly moved from negotiable guidance to hard-wired caps on mobilisation and other charges.
8Participating bidders now operate under an LCU undertaking that lets ONGC trim any above-limit pricing while still awarding the contract.
8How this plays out in margins, vessel choices and post-bid clarifications will only become clear once the commercial bids are opened.
 
5) ONGC’s western offshore clamp-on bidders face a broader force majeure shield but harsher anti-cartel and post-rejection rules as three-player competition crystallises.
8Three bidders are now locked into ONGC’s clamp-on race under an FM clause that offers comfort but no free pass.
8Representation rights have been narrowed to a 48-hour, no-new-documents window just as anti-cartel language puts tight clusters under the microscope.
8How Das Offshore, Mashhor and Supreme price and paper their bids under this mix of cushions and tripwires is where the real story lies.

8HDPE slipped Rs 0.5/kg this week on a mild adjustment from early-month levels. 

1) Adhul Marketo faces tight inventory and delivery discipline in ONGC’s frontier-basin industrial gas tender for rigs E-2000-8 and E-2000-6.
8ONGC’s GeM tender for industrial gases at Samastipur and Ballia rigs looks small on paper but pushes a heavy load of inventory and delivery risk onto the supplier.
8With no guaranteed volumes, capped free rentals and termination triggers for refusal or repeated quality slips, bidders like Adhul Marketo India Private Limited are effectively underwriting ONGC’s just-in-time cylinder strategy.
8The real question is which risk lever—option quantity, LD, or legal silence on disputes—ends up defining pricing and participation in the next round.
 
2) Five civil contractors face firm-price, compliance-heavy three-year ARC for rig deployment works in ONGC Cambay Asset.
8ONGC’s Cambay civil-works ARC has drawn five regional contractors into a three-year, multi-site race with no publicly visible relaxations on risk or security.
8The tender architecture locks in firm prices, extended PBG validity and tight documentation demands, while promising quick payment only to those who can navigate the paperwork flawlessly.
8How these bidders balance that risk stack against aggressive pricing will decide who emerges as a long-term civil partner around Cambay’s workover rigs.
 
3) Corrigendum package resets bid security, tie-breakers and force majeure for Ahmedabad fire protection LSTK.
8ONGC’s latest corrigendum does far more than tidy up pre-bid dates for its Ahmedabad fire-protection LSTK.
8It rewires who wins in an L1 tie, who must lock up bank limits for how long, and when either side can walk away from a force-majeure-hit contract.
8Whether this tougher but more structured playbook broadens the bidder pool or quietly filters it down will only be visible when the final techno-commercial shortlist emerges.
 
4) Nine-day GeM deadline extension keeps ONGC heavy electrical machines repair RC for offshore drilling rigs open until 18 December 2025.
8ONGC has quietly pushed out the closing date on its three-year repair RC for rig-critical electrical machines without touching a single technical or commercial safeguard.
8Bidders now have nine extra days to align demanding workshop-facility proofs, calibration certificates and Make in India paperwork.
8Whether that small shift broadens a niche vendor pool or merely delays a tight contest is what this extension will now test.
 
5) Third bid-date extension and tougher group guarantees reset the risk calculus for the Dandewala gas sweetening unit.
8OIL has quietly pushed the Dandewala membrane-GSU tender out to 24 December while overhauling who can bid and how they must backstop performance.
8Experience windows, support-company rules, moisture specs and O&M securities all look different from the early September issue.
8How bidders price a wider entry gate against harder long-tail obligations will decide who still stays in this race.
