8Here's what's happening today in the E&P, midstream-downstream, and CGD section

BPCL extends PRFCC EPCM bid to 24 September; milestones go pro-rata and IP indemnity tightened for Mumbai Refinery
8BPCL has pushed the PRFCC EPCM deadline again, but this time with weighty changes tucked in. Payment milestones shift to pro-rata at close-out, and the patent indemnity now ring-fences consultant exposure on owner-driven changes. A HIPPS call-out also lands, hinting at a safety-first price reset.
EIL pushes PDH-PP pump bid to 29 September after three extensions in Petronet LNG’s PDH-PP Dahej
8The NDA-gated pump package for PLL’s PDH-PP at Dahej has moved from 21 August to 29 September. EMD stays off the table, zero-deviation stays on. What do the extra 39 days change for bidder readiness and scope confidence?
EIL extends PDH utilities pumps RFQ to 23 September without easing specs in Petronet LNG, Dahej plant
8Two bid-due extensions add 25 days to a tightly specified pumps package for PDH utilities at Dahej. The owner-engineer holds firm on MAWP and NPSHA datum while refining minor layout details. Price discipline via BoQ and evaluated spares will test vendor margins.
Four back-to-back deadline shifts, unchanged terms for IOCL Panipat 2G ethanol bale-feed tender
8IOCL has pushed the bid clock by 29 days without touching PQCs, EMD or payment structures. The staged extensions hint at supply-chain and partner alignment for a niche bale-feed retrofit. The commercial posture remains firm even as the timeline flexes.
EIL extends bid deadline by 12 days for electric heater package in PLL PDH-PP Dahej
8The electric heater tender for PLL’s PDH-PP complex at Dahej gets a short extension. EIL has moved the bid due date from 17-09-2025 to 29-09-2025 while keeping the zero-deviation regime intact. The shift could alter bidder dynamics without touching delivery or risk.
Bid deadline pushed by 10 days for ultrasonic flowmeters in NRL DCU revamp
8EIL has moved the bid due date for NRL’s DCU revamp ultrasonic flowmeters by ten days. The scope spans inline, flare-service insertion, and clamp-on meters with six-month delivery. The extension likely targets cleaner PQC submissions rather than a policy shift.
BPCL Kochi refinery PMC tender closing extended twice amid compliance load
8BPCL has pushed back the bid submission date for its Kochi refinery energy-efficiency PMC package not once, but twice. The extensions add up to nine days beyond the original deadline without shifting the opening date. Industry sources suggest compliance and bidder readiness issues are at play, leaving the competitive field uncertain.
Fourteen-day bid deadline extension on hydrogen and PGH recycle compressors in BPCL BPREP
8BPCL’s BPREP compressor package gets a two-week extension to 30 September. The scope spans API 617 hydrogen and PGH recycle trains with tight provenance and motor/VFD qualifications. Whether the extra time widens the qualified field or merely cleans documentation will shape pricing and risk.

Scope clarified, evidence tightened, but no EMD: QCBS-heavy listing public issue advisory tender for GAIL Gas
8Two rounds of replies make this a documentation-tight but EMD-free contest. GAIL Gas held the line on full-scope advisory, including timing and readiness. One pragmatic nod eases partner disclosures while keeping the technical bar high.
Second date push takes CPCL ETP-IV & DMRO O&M to 24 Sep in CPCL in Manali.
8CPCL has pushed the bid clock twice on its 60-month ETP-IV and DMRO O&M. A membrane-spec clarifier and a contractor-side three-year life guarantee now sit at the heart of the package. The extensions change the competitive math — but not the risk placement.
Two-step due date push, same hard terms in BPCL-BR HGU pre-reformer catalyst ARC
8BPCL-BR has extended the bid clock twice on its HGU pre-reformer catalyst ARC without touching the guardrails. Life-loaded evaluation and delayed PV remain intact despite bidder pressure. The extra time could broaden the ring—if vendors can live with the terms.
Third extension pushes bid to 26 September for energy optimization PMC in BPCL Kochi Refinery
8BPCL has moved the bid end thrice while hardening the commercial guardrails. The corrigendum locks in a 180-day validity, a two-year non-divisible contract, and TPIA-attested documentation. The market now has time but on BPCL’s terms. Feasibility now, PMC later, both mapped to FY 2026-27 windows. This reduces outage risk creep and aligns deliverables to shutdowns. It also narrows the field to turnaround-literate firms.
VBPL loop tender gets a one-week bid extension as BPCL/EIL tighten HDD CP acceptance and refresh Integrity Pact
8BPCL has pushed the VBPL pipeline laying bid deadline out by a week even as it hard-codes fresh HDD corrosion-control gates into the scope. A same-day commercial amendment swaps in a new Integrity Pact, tightening governance around the tender. The BQC remains stiff, keeping subcontractor credentials out — and bidder strategies will need to adjust.
Second date push takes Hazira instrumentation bid to 29 September for ONGC
8EIL has moved the Hazira instrumentation due date again, pushing it to 29 September. The cumulative 26-day shift points to the complexity of a brownfield controls revamp rather than a change in commercial posture. The governance stack and PQCs remain intact, leaving bidders to use the extra time to close technical risks.
Second deadline push takes steam-line aerogel retrofit to 25 September in CPCL Manali Refinery-1 & 2
8CPCL has granted a further week for its aerogel-plus-GRP culvert insulation package. The first shift moved the bid from 11 September to 18 September on GeM; the latest moves it to 25 September. The technical bar stays unchanged, but the bidder pool may not.

Four-horse DCS race opens for PDH-PP controls in Petronet LNG Dahej plant
8PLL’s PDH-PP complex has drawn all four global-class DCS OEMs into the technical ring. The scope blends heavy Foundation Fieldbus with dual SIL-3 safety layers and extensive serial interfaces. The real separation may come from lifecycle support and commissioning assurance rather than datasheet parity.
Technical bids open for ACB 1000A-2000A upgrade at heater 206F201 in CPCL
8CPCL has two technically qualified bidders to upgrade GE M-PACT breakers on a heater feeder, with one disqualification. The scope demands genuine parts, careful retrofit, and standard-compliant testing under a single completion milestone. With RA off and non-splittable SOR, the fight shifts to precise pricing and execution credibility
Sole-vendor field emerges in coalescer revamp under zero-deviation terms in BPCL Kochi PP project
8BPCL’s coalescer revamp moved into technical-bid scrutiny with a single OEM in play. The package is ring-fenced by zero-deviation rules, NDA obligations, and staged payments tied to PGTR. Whether governance levers can offset limited price tension is the real story ahead.
Four players file technical bids for biodiesel B-100 empanelment by the IOCL, BPCL, HPCL trio
8OMCs have opened the technical stage of their national biodiesel empanelment with four bidders in the fray. The EOI waives EMD but tightens compliance through NABCB-accredited TPIA checks and type certification. The real contest will start when OMCs declare base and freight rates for quantity bids.
Two bidders disqualified at technical stage in IOCL Guwahati refinery tender
8Prime Steels and R. R. Engineering & Construction failed to qualify. While reasons are not disclosed, PQC gaps are the likely cause. Their exclusion highlights the document-heavy scrutiny at this stage. City Construction, KB Upadhyay, KSR Cranes, Vishal Enterprises, Punjab Engineering, and S B Enterprise progressed. These firms are known regional players with refinery familiarity. Their qualification shapes a credible competition pool.

Fichtner and Avant-Garde emerge as only qualified firms in HPRGE CBG tender
8Both firms cleared the revised QCBS filter.
8Four others were disqualified on technical grounds.
8This narrows the competitive field for subsequent financial evaluation.

Endress Hauser takes field instruments basket at steep discounts in NRL DCU revamp
8EIL closed the DCU-revamp instruments with an unusually broad price spread to L1. The RFQ leaned on PPP-MII, groupwise evaluation and a bespoke arbitration/mediation path while waiving EMD and reverse auction. The combination signals speed and certainty over auction theatrics—what it means for future NRL baskets sits behind the wall.
Bridge & Roof bags LMBU tankage package as EIL hard-codes EHT redundancy in HPCL Mumbai refinery LMBU project
8A tight middle pack lost out to a disciplined L1 for HPCL’s LMBU tankage. EIL’s technical amendment hard-wires redundancy into the EHT design, shifting risk left. The spreads tell you where execution confidence — and future pricing — now sits.
Electro Corr Damp and Cortigo split GAIL’s Maharashtra CP ARC across DUPL and DPPL groups in GAIL (Maharashtra region pipeline network)
8GAIL has moved to schedule-wise awards for its two-year CP monitoring and maintenance ARC in Maharashtra. The winners will inherit strict NACE-aligned reporting, GPS-logged PSP, and penalties for delayed submissions. The pricing signal is muted without L2/L3 and OE disclosures, but the governance bar is unmistakably higher.
ITT edges BHEL for BPCL Bina CDU/VDU heater package as CPP-driven L1 discipline holds in BPCL BPREP
8A tight 15 + 2-month clock and an indivisible scope forced OEM-backed bids to show their execution math, not just pricing flair. The top two quotes in the main BoQ finished within single digits, but the secondary BoQ blew wide open, hinting at divergent risk takes. Clause language on CPP, integrity pact and subsidiary pathways shaped who could credibly stay in the ring.

Netzsch takes slop oil package while Börger wins surge pond duty in MRPL/EIL rotary lobe pumps
8Two L1s emerged from one package. The pricing gap is stark across the two BOQs and tells a story about duty-specific cost curves. The amendment trail and pre-bid replies reveal where risk was shifted.
L&T bags high-pressure screw plug/breech lock heat exchangers in BPCL BPREP
8A Tier-1 static equipment pool chased BPREP’s high-pressure exchangers, but the licensor-gated scope narrowed the field. With reverse auction off the table and strict NDA controls, price discovery hinged on conformance more than speed. The award level hints at how BPCL is pricing reliability in the Bina expansion.
Linde wins Rs 196.26 crore LSTK for cryogenic nitrogen and compressed air package in PLL PDH-PP, Dahej
8EIL has closed the nitrogen and compressed air package for PLL’s PDH-PP project with a single-chain 4,000 Nm³/h GAN design on an LSTK basis. Guaranteed power figures will now move from bid-sheet theory to PGTR reality, with price reductions if targets slip. The award math hints at tight lifecycle-cost policing, but the spread to L2 remains the missing piece.
Tractebel takes HRS consultancy at Bayavaram under tight certification SLAs in HPCL
8HPCL has moved to a single-vendor award for its Bayavaram hydrogen refuelling station consultancy after tightening scope and timelines. The contract leans on fast-track certification windows and a buyer-friendly option clause. What that means for risk transfer and vendor margins is not immediately obvious from the disclosed documents.
Four-vendor empanelment finalised for B-100 supply up to March 2026
8IOCL, on behalf of all three OMCs, has empanelled four biodiesel manufacturers with the award value marked as nil at this stage. Prices and transport rates will be declared in subsequent quantity rounds while the technical bar stays at IS 15607:2022. The five-year coordinate lock and mandatory TPIA checks hint at tighter logistics and compliance control.

8The Mumbai chemical market reported a weaker undertone in Polyacrylamide (Anionic Grade) this week, with Indian Petrochem highlighting that the downward momentum is being driven more by comfortable availability and lukewarm demand, rather than any significant decline in input costs

8According to Indian Petrochem market data, the Mumbai perchloroethylene market has seen a sudden and unexpected decline

8The price of mixed xylene (MX) in the Mumbai market experienced an upward movement today, attributed to slight fluctuations in supply and demand and rising raw material costs

8What the company is trying to do is a strategic entry with multiple downstream linkages

8Oil India’s Mahanadi mud engineering and DWM package has been extended after a mid-course scope reset and personnel-policy tightening.
8The latest uploaded document moves the closing to 19 September 2025 while normalising HPWBM tables and locking a cap on engineer replacements.
8Whether a further push to 24 September 2025 is formal will shape bidder calculus on crew and inventory buffers.

Urea reactor race heats up: NFL pushes Nangal revamp with strict global criteria
8National Fertilizers Limited (NFL) has once again extended the bid deadline for its high-stakes urea synthesis reactor tender, now set for 15 October 2025. The package is the heart of NFL’s Nangal unit modernization, covering complete design, fabrication, commissioning, and two years of mandatory spares.
8What makes this tender stand out is NFL’s no-compromise eligibility criteria—only process licensors or their authorized global fabricators with proven track record in high-pressure reactors can participate. With bid evaluation linked to guaranteed steam savings, the project signals a sharper focus on energy efficiency and long-term reliability.
8Repeated extensions hint at intense behind-the-scenes negotiations with global technology majors. For India’s fertilizer security, this isn’t just about equipment—it’s about safeguarding production continuity at a strategic plant.
RCF Thal ammonia revamp: Bid deadline slips again as scope refinements continue
8The EPC tender for revamping RCF’s ammonia plants at Thal — meant to cut energy use without lifting output — has seen yet another extension, this time to 03 October 2025. Frequent deadline shifts underscore the complexity of retrofitting reformers, compressors, and electrical systems inside an operating fertilizer complex, while also reflecting intense bidder scrutiny of contract clauses on insurance, indemnity, and energy guarantees.
