1) Sole technical bidder emerges for comp-recipro (labyrinth) package in NRL’s PPU project
8With only one technical bidder disclosedcompetitive discovery weakens.
 
2) Three-bidder technical opening after EIL’s late flare-system add-on tightens the desuperheater contest in PLL Dahej PDH-PP project
8A specific vendor list for control valves and accessories is introduced with the amendment. That reduces make variance but also narrows sourcing flexibility for bidders. It can drive hidden cost differences depending on each bidder’s approved supply chain
 
3) IOCL’s Haldia refinery super Sucker MOSRU hire tender sees 7 bidders but only 2 clear technical gate
8The SCC quietly loads availability risk onto the contractor through “extra crew at no cost”, emergency readiness, and a 24-hour repair expectation. With a buyer-set floor price and no reverse auction, the real contest shifts from price theatrics to documentation strength and execution depth.

1) IOCL’s Nagapattinam compression consultancy award crystallises into a two-bidder race with a 31.6% L2 premium
8The quiet story sits in the compliance tightening—IBC screening, bid hygiene rules, and security instruments that may have shaped who could even stay in the room.
 
2) L1 pricing breaks below estimate, but the asset class is response-critical in IOCL/WRPL Vadinar MOSRU
8The unanswered question is where the contractor plans to absorb compliance and uptime costs without degrading readiness.
 
3) IOCL Panipat refinery’s CCRU shutdown catalyst replacement award lands at estimate
8This is, while the rest of the field prices 44%–111% higher.
 
4) IOCL locks Lupech reliability into a dashboard-led rotary monitoring ARC
8The company then lands a wide-spread two-bid award
 
5) Parivesh lands a sharply underpriced eia/emp mandate for coal gasification to SNG plant at Bardhaman
8The price ladder is extreme, with L2 sitting roughly two-and-a-half times L1, raising questions about what “liaisoning” will really cost once MOEFCC queries start.
 
6) Rotostat undercuts the field to win BPCL Mumbai refinery ta 2026 package 3 lobs nhgu part a, with a 27.2% jump to l2
8The tender’s amendments quietly relax early mobilisation while hardening readiness enforcement through specific minimums and penalties. The combination sets up a contract where compliance capacity, not just price, decides who survives day one.
 
7) MRPL’s scaffolding ARC award turns into a two-bidder contest with a 195.0% price gap
8The contract’s dual-vendor intent adds a second layer of tension that will matter more than the headline L1 number.

8Find out why do we say so

8India’s ammonia import market has moved into the year-end period with slightly firmer prices but thinning spot activity, as higher global replacement costs feed through even while domestic buying appetite remains restrained.

It is easy to get month-old import data but it is difficult to solicit forthcoming shipment information in India. We go through a laborious process of data collection to get you full import information, including company-wise, quantity-wise, port-wise, vessel-wise cargoes which are coming into India in the next 15-to30 days.
