1) Emerson wins Vizag DCS-based terminal automation contract
8IOCL has awarded the Vizag Terminal Automation System contract to Emerson after a margin-tight bid battle with Advanced Sys-Tek. The difference between L1 and L2 bids was less than 1 %, signalling extreme price convergence in the automation segment. Behind the close race lies IOCL’s broader digital-integration drive to standardise TAS software across terminals.
 
2) Wide 31 % price gap reveals margin stress in engineering consultancy
8Ingenero’s Rs 2.97 crore bid undercut Kavin Engineering by 31.4 %. The spread signals cost-competitiveness pressure as GeM bids replace direct nominations in refinery engineering.
 
3) Aggressive pricing defines Hydrogen II Air Pre-Heater award
8Kamal Encon’s Rs 3.23 crore bid beat Kelvion by 46 %, reflecting a sharp price compression rare in heat-exchange packages. Such aggressive bidding will pressure margins but could set a new benchmark for domestic fabricators. MRPL gains from lower CAPEX without compromising its GPC-mandated quality regime.

1) BPCL extends consultant tender for Jawahar Dweep crude-tank DFR by a week
8BPCL has pushed back the bid deadline for its Jawahar Dweep feasibility study by one week amid a raft of technical clarifications. The scope covers up to 10 % cost accuracy and multi-disciplinary adequacy checks for crude-tank infrastructure linked to Mumbai Refinery. Bidders sought more time to compile inputs after BPCL attached new corrigenda and pre-bid responses on utilities and power systems.
 
2) Bid submission for Lupech condition-monitoring ARC extended to 12 November in IOCL Gujarat Refinery seeks wider vendor reach.
8IOCL has pushed its Lupech refinery condition-monitoring bid by two weeks, hinting at tight specialist capacity in India’s rotary-equipment diagnostics market. The Rs 1.56 crore ARC requires Level-III certified vibration analysts and ATEX-rated tools. No scope change — only time for vendors to catch up.
 
3) BPCL extends EOI deadline for naphthenic base-oil technology collaboration in Kochi Refinery
8BPCL has twice extended its EOI for joint development of naphthenic base-oil technology at Kochi Refinery, now closing on 6 November 2025. The short delay points to active engagement with potential licensors in a niche specialty-oils segment. The collaboration could yield India’s first co-branded “BPCL-Licensor” technology platform.
 
4) Bid due date extended by six days under Corrigendum in BPREP
8The submission deadline moves from 7 Nov to 13 Nov 2025. The brief pause suggests the promoter responded to vendor documentation difficulties. A single-extension pattern is emerging across Bina refinery sub-packages.
 
5) IOCL extends DHDS catalyst bid deadline at Gujarat Refinery
8Indian Oil has extended the DHDS catalyst tender deadline from 5 to 12 November 2025. The shift keeps scope and qualification unchanged but signals a tight vendor alignment window. A wider OEM response is expected under GeM’s reverse-auction framework.
