1) Whipstock side-tracks go factory-mode with single-trip KPIs and call-out LDs in ONGC offshore drilling
8ONGC’s three-year whipstock window-milling rate contract pushes single-trip success and strict retrieval penalties.
8A new call-out value formula hard-links delay to liquidated damages while customs-anchored paperwork gates lost-in-hole recovery.
8The real story is how many bidders can stock nine mill sets and stand up multi-rig concurrency without blowing cash cycles.
 
2) Plant-grade pigging loop with 72-hour PGTR and PMS/VMS compliance lands on a 90-day clock in ONGC ATI Goa
8ONGC wants a fully piggable training loop built to plant standards, not a classroom toy.
8The spec hard-wires PMS/VMS, intrusive indicators and a 72-hour PGTR into a 90-day delivery window.
8The missing commercial scaffolding keeps risk pricing and bidder appetite as the big unknowns.
 
3) Event-ready oil spill demo with ISO-rated kits and crew splits from a training baseline — ONGC ATI Goa
8ONGC’s training arm wants a real spill-response kit scaled to a pond, not a token classroom set.
8The brief pairs an India Energy Week demo crew with a longer-tail training kit under a 90-day clock.
8The commercial blanks and a wording glitch on demo duration will shape who bids and how they price.
 
4) Plant-grade LPG grid with metering, leak detection and 72-hour PGTR on a 90-day clock — ONGC ATI Goa
8ONGC wants a campus-wide LPG network delivered like a refinery utility, not a kitchen retrofit.
8The spec locks in PMS/VMS, underground protection, detectors and a 72-hour PGTR across 13 legs.
8The missing commercial guardrails will decide who can fund the pace and still hold margins.
 
5) GST uplift to 18% and mobilisation reset to 45 days reshape economics and schedule in ONGC/GPPL liquid mud plant
8ONGC has aligned the LMP tender’s fiscal framework to the latest customs and GST notifications, lifting the concessional rate to 18%.
8A modest mobilisation relief and precise fire-safety clarifications recalibrate execution without loosening technical rigor.
8The new ability to borrow experience could redraw the bidder map, but only for those who can still meet the LMP’s high-spec envelope.
 
6) Participation and techno-commercial opening dates extended for ONGC Cambay Anklav Tee hot tapping valve replacement
8ONGC has pushed back the submission and opening milestones for the Anklav Tee live-line valve-replacement package.
8The move could widen participation in a niche, high-risk scope that few can credibly deliver.
8But a year-mismatch across documents now raises a compliance question that only a clarificatory note can settle.

1) Batch mix downsized and displacement tank added in scope corrections in ONGC Assam Asset MPPU
8ONGC has trimmed batch-mix volume while inserting a dedicated displacement tank into the MPPU spec.
8The hydraulic duty points stay unchanged, but the HMI and DAS interfaces have been selectively simplified.
8The commercial framework tightens around digital securities and time-bound performance bonds without softening PQCs.
 
2) Tender for RoW/RoU line walking under PS-1 Duliajan cancelled
8Oil India has pulled the plug on its three-year pipeline patrolling package under PS-1 Duliajan.
8The scope had demanded GPS-logged sweeps, rigid PVR/medical compliance, and on-call night patrols.
8The cancellation pauses outsourcing and pushes integrity risk back in-house—for now.
 
3) Seven-day bid deadline push to 14 October for ONGC Aliabet TZ 3D seismic
8ONGC has extended the bid closing by a week on its complex Aliabet land/TZ/OBN acquisition package.
8The shift buys bidders time to align PQC proofs, vessel rosters, and digital submissions without slipping the exploration calendar.
8Expect a deeper bench of TZ-capable offers, but the compliance bar remains unaltered.
 
4) Bid deadline extended to 13 October for three-year intelligent pigging survey IRC in ONGC/Onshore Pipeline Group
8ONGC has pushed its IPS item-rate contract closing to 13 October.
8The technical and risk clauses stay intact, including tough “no-pay on unsuccessful ILI” remedies.
8The 26-day window is a bid-depth play, not a dilution of standards.
 
5) HWO/snubbing unit bid pushed to 10 October with GST reset and stricter OEM proofs in Oil India
8A second extension pushes the HWO/snubbing tender into mid-October, signaling OIL’s appetite for a larger, cleaner bidder set.
8Simultaneously, GST has been reset to 18% even as essentiality paperwork remains a dispatch gate.
8Add-ons on parent/subsidiary eligibility, FAT/type-tests and a ±25% option clause could reshape pricing and delivery strategies.
 
6) ONGC hot-oil unit hiring slips to 17 October as securities and precedence tighten — ONGC/CPD Mumbai
8The HOC services tender now runs 95 days beyond the original calendar, reshaping bidder logistics and OEM tie-ups.
8ONGC has locked in RTGS/e-BG/insurance surety options and a strict precedence ladder to cut post-award friction.
8But with no stated reason for the delay, market players are reading the move as calendar management rather than a spec reset.

1) OIL open hole logging units tender hard-wires OEM depth, third-party verification and ESG to police quality over a 10-year AMC
8OIL has issued an ICB for two complete open hole logging units with full tool suites and a decade-long AMC.
8The bid asks for 10-year OEM pedigree, independent document verification and an ESG questionnaire for high-value orders.
8Explosives and radioactive supplies are decoupled with OIL-led permitting, which will shape mobilisation maths.
 
2) Import substitution EOI fixes API-grade bars and lab comparators across drilling, completion and chemical supplies
8OIL’s latest INDEG phase invites domestic vendors to clear high technical bars before any bulk buys. API/ISO validations,
8TPIA and reference-based lab acceptance move the gate from brand to data.
8The upside is entry via development orders; the downside is upfront sample and documentation load.
 
3) Schedule ambiguity and DDP risk shift define SunPetro’s Bhaskar-1 6-inch HP gas pipeline tender
8SunPetro wants a ~95 barg, 6-inch, ~19 km send-out line built fast with two spreads and tight inspection gates.
8The ITB hands the owner wide award, termination, and de-hire discretion while pushing logistics and permitting burdens onto the EPC.
8But conflicting completion periods and mixed signals on e-submission vs hard-copy could reshape bidder risk pricing if left unresolved.
 
4) Offshore 200 kVA gas genset buy sharpens HSE and uptime demands
8SunPetro’s Alphabob platform seeks a prime-duty 200 kVA gas unit with CPCB IV+ emissions, strict 75 dB(A) acoustics and a 72-hour endurance run.
8The scope hard-wires offshore protections, CO? canopy flooding and DGMS-aligned deliverables while splitting marine-lift responsibilities.
8Tight PQCs and inclusive pricing point to a concentrated OEM field where execution discipline will decide.
 
5) SunPetro west-coast AHTS charter hardens downtime economics, softens PBG lock-up
8DP-II AHTS with ≥80-ton bollard pull and heavy fluids capacity are in play, but with a stricter suspension and off-hire regime.
8Annual-value PBG and 30-day hire payments ease the cash side even as owners shoulder tighter uptime risk.
8The fine print on early termination and bid-bond amount is where the competitive edge will be decided.

8But will that work to halt the inexorable decline in output?

8BPCL’s first amendment to the Andhra polypropylene licensor tender quietly retools the compliance plumbing. Verification moves to the highest npv bidder with bpcl now explicitly in the loop, and a narrowed holiday-list declaration broadens the field. A sharp foreign emd correction removes an outlier cash lock-up.

8EIL has rejected all attempts to loosen the UPS package, from cable swaps to rear-clearance demands. Delivery stays locked to the purchase order date, not drawings, and FO termination is firmly in bidder scope. A tight option clause and RFQ-over-GeM hierarchy complete a buyer-leaning construct

1) EMD waived, trader licence mandatory: IOCL Gujarat Refinery narrows field for exchange power buy
8IOCL Gujarat Refinery wants a Category-I CERC trader with exchange membership and a one-year, 5 MWh-average trading track record. EMD is off the table, but compliance and HSE obligations are uncompromising. The bid opens in two parts with price discovery gated behind technical clearance.
 
2) Paradip sulphuric acid and cetane improver tanks consultancy packs a 30-day clock
8IOCL has opened a two-bid consultancy tender for designing a sulphuric acid tank and a cetane improver tank at Paradip. The NIT sets a 30-day completion bar with no EMD but a 5% ePBG. Tight refinery-grade PQCs and OISD compliance will shape who shows up—and who stays competitive.
 
3) GAIL PMC tender hardwires design discipline and SOR-only pricing for gas delivery project
8GAIL’s new PMC package bakes governance into the scope, from HAZOP enforcement to time-boxed drawing approvals. A strict SOR-only price path and “no ITC” stance will reshape bid math and filter the field. Inspection travel being deemed-included forces leaner expediting and real execution chops.
 
4) Design-heavy HFHSD build at Naob Rambilli tightens quality gates with IIT vetting
8IOCL has rolled out a limited-panel, design-first tender for its HFHSD facility at Naob Rambilli. The contract hard-wires OISD/PNGRB/API-650 compliance and makes IIT vetting a payment trigger. Tighter jurisdictional and access controls could reshape bidder strategies and price discipline.
 
5) BPCL seeks legal due diligence and advisory partner via limited tender
8BPCL has launched a limited tender to onboard a legal due diligence and advisory consultant. The bid runs on the C1 India portal with a techno-commercial split and policy overlays. Key securities and liability anchors are not disclosed, keeping pricing strategy in flux.
 
6) Survey tender for 2nd SPM corridor leans on hazard atlas and RA discipline in HPCL Visakh refinery
8HPCL has pushed the onshore pipeline survey for its second SPM to GeM with a reverse-auction spine. The package hard-wires multi-hazard planning but leaves data/KPI specifics to inference. A PQC–GeM mismatch on MSME/Startup relaxations could reshape the bidder pool.

8A rare Class-I-only licensor hunt puts yield, content, and compliance on a collision course. BPCL wants ≥70% SAF and >99% availability while preserving refinery interfaces and emissions caps. The pre-bid calendar conflict could decide who actually competes.

8Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers has floated a two-packet tender for 2,500 MT of AA-grade Methanol
8Bidding closes on October 13, 2025, with reverse auction enabled
8Pre-bid meeting is scheduled for October 9 at RCF Thal, Raigad

8HPCL has called a pre-tender meet for a 540-km multiproduct pipeline laying corridor split into three parts with a 12+3 month delivery clock. Draft BQC raises the bar on executed length, turnover and working capital while mandating third-party verification of credentials. A cap of two parts per bidder could redraw teaming strategies and price tension.
