1) Mud agitator gearbox refurbishment tender packs one year warranty and tight 60 day schedule — ONGC Sagar Ratna
8ONGC’s Sagar Ratna team has moved a small but critical mud agitator gearbox refurbishment into a tightly scripted, invitation-only tender.
8Behind the simple scope sit aggressive timelines, a one-year warranty and liquidated damages that can claw back up to 10% of contract value.
8What this structure does to bidder appetite, pricing and long-term rig reliability is not fully visible from the NIT alone.
 
2) ONGC seeks single-stack GST, e-invoice and litigation backbone for shared finance services
8ONGC’s new GST compliance management tender quietly turns a routine tax job into a full-stack digital backbone linked to SAP, IMS and GSTN.
8The same platform will also track every notice, refund and contingent liability across 53 registrations while sitting under strict uptime and security expectations.
8What this contract really decides is how much risk and control ONGC is prepared to centralise in one vendor for three years.
 
3) Oil India Rajasthan field raises the bar for thermal well premium casing connections with a high-spec empanelment EOI
8Oil India Rajasthan field has moved the contest for premium casing connections into a pure technical arena, leaving price for another day.
8Only those designs that have survived ISO/PAS 12835 thermal cycling at more than 320 °C and 11,000 kPa, and can document real CSS or SAGD field performance, will make the first cut.
8What remains unclear is how many new connections OIL actually wants on its panel and how that choice will reshape future drilling campaigns in Baghewala and beyond.
 
4) Priserve edges out tightly bunched rivals to clinch ONGC Mumbai communication services O&M award
8ONGC’s three-year Mumbai communication services tender has closed with just 0.7% separating the top three bidders, but an 81–289% jump to the rest of the field.
8The corporation has simultaneously shifted to contractor-friendly monthly payments while tightening non-performance deductions and availability metrics.
8Whether Priserve’s razor-thin L1 can withstand ONGC’s high-stakes uptime regime will only become clear once the new contract hits the offshore field.

1) Pre-bid clarifications ease technical edges but leave CAMC risk and cashflow load intact — ONGC Odalarevu
8ONGC’s pre-bid replies on the Odalarevu CAAQMS and CEMS tender resolve conflicting UPS figures, hazardous-area interpretations and experience pathways in bidders’ favour.
8At the same time, they firmly reject attempts to soften six-year CAMC liabilities, liquidated damages and bank guarantee structures.
8The net result is a cleaner but still demanding LSTK-plus-CAMC package where only technically confident and balance-sheet-strong players are likely to stay in the game.
 
2) Oil India tweaks banking details and adds 25 percent option clause in GeM corrigendum for KG and Andaman offshore well testing services
8Oil India has quietly rewritten the fine print of its offshore well testing tender without touching the demanding technical scope.
8A new 25 percent option clause and an excess-settlement window now sit alongside corrected e-BG and contract-form templates.
8How that combination plays out for bidder appetite and pricing will only become clear once technical offers are finally opened.
 
3) ONGC Sagar rigs LQ HVAC MODU-1989 upgrade corrigendum shuts parent-subsidiary qualification route and locks in equity-anchored JV experience
8ONGC has quietly used a GeM corrigendum on its Sagar rigs LQ HVAC MODU-1989 upgrade tender to redefine who can claim technical experience.
8Parent-subsidiary and supporting-company routes are now explicitly off the table, with only bidders or equity-locked JV partners allowed to qualify.
8What that does to competition, pricing and offshore execution comfort is the question bidders now have to solve.
 
4) Oil India modular desalination BOO tender pushed to 23 December as Madhuban ZLD project tests bidder depth and calendar elasticity
8Oil India has quietly moved the bid closing for its 3000 KLPD modular desalination BOO tender from 12 September to 23 December 2025, adding 102 days to the clock.
8The extension comes without any relief on a hefty Rs 2.25 crore EMD, a 3% performance security locked in for 39 months, or demanding ZLD and byproduct-management obligations.
8What this rebalanced timeline does to bidder appetite, technical creativity and ultimate tariff levels is now the central question hanging over the Madhuban project.

1) IOCL Panipat PP unit catalyst tender hardwires long-life performance guarantees into a reverse auction-driven supply contract
8IOCL’s new PP unit catalyst tender looks deceptively routine until you read the fine print on guarantees and replacement formulas. The shift from EMD to a declaration clashes with a double-layer CPBG and ABG regime that squeezes vendor liquidity even as it widens the door to more bidders. What this mix of softer entry barriers and harder performance liabilities does to margins, risk appetite and vendor behaviour is not obvious from the tender alone.
 
2) CDU-3 heater revamp consultancy goes on nomination to EIL with tight security and delivery obligations in BPCL Mumbai refinery
8BPCL has quietly locked in its OEM consultant for the CDU3 F-101 heater revamp, but the fine print shows the refinery is not relaxing its risk posture. Detailed engineering, PESO liaison, 3D modelling and even alternate turnaround strategies are being bundled into a single lump sum consultancy with back-ended payments and multiple bank guarantees. What this does to project timelines, consultant margins and future heater-revamp competition at Mumbai refinery is not obvious from the NIT alone.
 
3) Tight MV heater specs and fixed-price regime narrow vendor play for PDH PP project
8Petronet LNG’s Dahej PDH PP project has put a high-pressure, medium-voltage electric heater package at the centre of a tightly controlled tender. Design duty, metallurgical limits and a 16-month fixed-price delivery regime quietly screen out most of the market.

1) Andhra Pradesh cracker licensor tender bid due date slips by 105 days after four extensions
8BPCL’s flagship Andhra Pradesh ethylene cracker license tender has quietly slid from a two-week sprint to a four-month marathon. Four successive bid due date extensions now separate the original 29 August deadline from a revised 12 December close. The paperwork does not say why, but the delay will echo through every downstream EPC and utilities package.
 
2) Licensor bid deadline for LLDPE/HDPE swing unit slips by over two months after four extensions
8EIL’s LLDPE/HDPE swing unit licensor tender has now moved from an 8 October to a 15 December 2025 bid deadline. Four extensions in a high-stakes BEDP and proprietary package raise questions about bidder readiness and internal alignment. The real impact will only be visible once downstream EPC sequencing and award timelines begin to react.
 
3) BPCL PFCCU licensor pre-bid responses keep 12-month bid validity and tight timelines at the Andhra Pradesh refinery
8BPCL and EIL have refused a six-week bid extension and a cut in bid validity from twelve to six months. The PFCCU licensor community must now decide whether they can live with a long commercial lock-up in a volatile market. How this shapes participation and pricing will determine how competitive the eventual PFCCU award really is.

8After cutting the minimum combined net worth from Rs 240 crore to Rs 25 crore and pushing deadlines, the board still sees only one bidder in the room.

1) Four of seven bidders clear technical filter for IOCL Gujarat refinery instrumentation maintenance ARC.
8A dense instrumentation ARC at IOCL’s Gujarat refinery has quietly thinned a seven-bidder field down to four technically acceptable players. A long-tail performance guarantee and a buyer-set floor price are reshaping how contractors price and risk this two-year service. The real story lies in how this configuration will tilt margins, vendor behaviour and uptime on some of the refinery’s most critical units.
 
2) Three of nine GeM bidders clear BPCL technical screen for Nagpur AFS HAZOP–QRA–ERDMP package
8A nine-way contest for BPCL’s Nagpur aviation fuel station HAZOP–QRA–ERDMP documentation has already been cut down to a three-firm shortlist. Six bidders have fallen on technical grounds, but the reasons are not visible in the official snapshot. What that pattern says about BPCL’s evolving risk-study vendor pool is where the real story lies.

8BPCL’s Ennore terminal has quietly pushed a critical OWS/ETP revamp through GeM with no EMD and no PBG, but a notably hard PQC and HSE spine. Seven bidders walked in; only two have made it past technical filters. The way this hybrid GeM-plus-GCC construct behaves in the financial round could shape how BPCL buys environmental infrastructure over the next few years.

1) Bureau Veritas undercuts EIL by 13.9% for Cauvery Basin FFS/RLA consultancy
8GAIL has quietly handed its Cauvery Basin pipeline life-extension study to Bureau Veritas after a tightly fought QCBS contest with EIL.
 
2) Young Engg bags calibration ARC for master instruments at GAIL’s Agartala and GDT Lakwa terminals with a 9.8% edge over L2
8GAIL has finalised a two-year calibration ARC for its master instruments at Agartala and GDT Lakwa with just two bidders in the fray. The winning quote from Young Engg sits under 10% below the L2 offer, against an unusually soft financial BEC and no EMD requirement. What that combination of tight technical filters and relaxed financial barriers means for future calibration tenders is where the real story begins.

8PU is flat this week and unchanged over the past fortnight. Over the past month, however, the product has eased Rs 3/kg from its earlier levels.

8PA66 is unchanged this week and has slipped Rs 5/kg from last month. Prices are close to levels seen three months ago, showing limited variation.

8PA6 rose Rs 4/kg this week and is still down Rs 12/kg over the past month. Compared with six months ago, the product remains noticeably lower.

8POM is down Rs 6/kg over the past month. Prices are slightly softer than three months ago, keeping the product near its lower levels this quarter.

8Cyclohexanone at Hazira is roughly Rs 3/kg lower than its level six months ago, while the past fortnight has been flat. Price action has been subdued, with the market gravitating between the recent high and low without clear follow-through.

8Cyclohexane has gained Rs 3/kg from late November and is now trading near its latest high, even though values remain about Rs 22/kg below levels from three months earlier. Short-term firmness contrasts with the softer quarter-on-quarter backdrop.

8Methyl Isobutyl Ketone in Mumbai now trades roughly Rs 34/kg under the level seen a year earlier. Recent sessions show only small adjustments, with prices holding in a relatively tight range compared with the broader twelve-month decline.
