Reactor logistics package re-tendered with extended deadline at RCF Thal urea units
8RCF has re-issued the tender for urgent reactor transport works at its Thal fertilizer complex, extending the bid window. The new due date of 13 September 2025 signals schedule slippage but also a chance for wider participation. Behind the re-tender lies the same tight compliance and reinstatement regime that has already tested bidder appetite.

8And it is a tough call
8And the sole bidder tender has been extended twice
8Why is Linde taking time?

8Find out what it is

8IOCL’s R&D-anchored EOI for a HEFA SAF catalyst system and reactor design has moved through multiple date shifts without touching scope or PQCs. The base unit and feedstock annexures reveal where the real constraints lie: impurities, hydrogen, and cycle-length. With only one licensor visible at technical opening, the next move will decide whether this stays a screening or becomes a negotiated path.

HPRGE shortlists Avant-Garde and Fichtner for three-site CBG DFR/PMC mandate for HPCL Renewable & Green Energy
8Six names entered, but only two cleared the technical bar for HPRGE’s three-site CBG program. The scope spans DFR method, LEPCC tendering, and post-award PMC with strict commissioning/PGTR oversight. The real story is how concurrency, man-month caps, and IRR sensitivity demands will shape the final bid play.
HPCL narrows PMC race for Punjab CBG plants to Avant-Garde and Fichtner
8Only two of six bidders survived the technical filter in HPCL’s CBG PMC tender. New QCBS rules, a tight clarification window, and liquidity-heavy guarantees reshaped the field. Behind the clauses lies a clear strategy of controlled vendor pool shaping.

8The ASP receipt is easy but blend reproducibility is where the problem is
8In any case, the company desperately needs a solution to arrest rapidly declining production

8IOCL has framed its SRU shutdown tender to recover utilities and power at the invoice level. Three of four bidders have cleared technical, setting up a straight price face-off without reverse auction. The real spread will come from how each bidder prices crane time and steam-air consumption.

8EIL has kept the licensor’s MR behind a strict NDA and demanded a self-declaration that nothing was altered. Reverse auction is out, but item-wise evaluation is in, pushing vendors to fight on the high-volume tags. The delivery clock is just five months to site, and that changes how margins and logistics will be priced.

8A split award for 2D/3D seismic has been finalized, locking in a tighter technical regime and flexible volumes.
8The buyer’s corrigendum sharpened geometry, gear vintage, and PESO liabilities while easing performance security mechanics on GeM.
8What this does to margins and volume reallocation will hinge on undisclosed L1 gaps and early-run productivity.

8Vatsaa Energy has taken the DFR mandate for HPCL’s HP Green R&D Centre at a price far below the pack. The field shows an unusual spread, with L2 at +33.7% and L4 at +117.9% versus L1. The real story is whether low price meets modeling depth and grid-readiness.

8ONGC has granted a second deadline extension.
8The change rides alongside a new GCC clause that lets the client defer dependent mobilizations if rigs slip.
8The combination reshapes schedule risk, cash timing and bid-prep behaviour without altering core scope.
