8This single-packet packaging collides with petrochem EPCM realities.

8The award ladder is split between near-commodity pricing at the top and heavy risk loading in the tail.

1) BPCL’s package 5 SRU–TGTU2 turnaround award lands with a 72.2% L2 premium
8A four-bidder disqualification wave left BPCL with just three qualified contenders for a high-risk turnaround scope. The price stack hints at sharply different risk models for inspection-driven work. The quiet clause signals in the documents explain why this gap may not be a one-off.
 
2) Two-way L1 tie at the floor price reshapes award odds for sulphur palletizer O&M — IOCL panipat refinery P-25 SRU block
8Two bidders reportedly hit the exact same L1 number, pushing award probability into GeM’s tie-break mechanics rather than classic undercutting.
