1) Bid timeline extended to 27 December 2025 for reservoir field services call-out package
8ONGC’s MBA basin reservoir field services tender has been extended to 27 December 2025, but the extension is not a soft reset.
8Superseding price and SCC formats tighten the commercial rulebook, even as bidders attempted to reopen mobilisation and standby economics.
8ONGC largely closed those vectors, choosing instead to clarify how day-rate edge cases will be paid, turning the extension into a filter on operational discipline rather than a concession on risk.
 
2) ONGC extends RJY asset torque turn services tender as SOW hard-wires HP-HT tubing envelopes
8The RJY asset torque turn services tender has been extended with a scope of work that now explicitly locks in HP-HT tubing envelopes.
8This hard-wiring of technical limits narrows acceptable operating flexibility and pushes risk back onto service execution rather than specification debate.
8The open question is whether ONGC is using the extension to genuinely widen participation in a thin, high-spec vendor pool or simply to let unresolved clause friction cool without yielding ground.
 
3) Pre-bid clarifications flagged as uploaded, but clause-level deltas stay off-page for wireline logging units
8Oil India limited has confirmed that pre-bid conference outcomes have been uploaded under the amendments channel, without reproducing clause-level clarifications in the amendment itself.
8With Rs 8.00 crore bid security and a four-year services horizon, bidders’ exposure concentrates on the unseen Q&A responses rather than the base tender text.
8The posture signals tight contract governance, but leaves decisive technical and commercial reallocations verifiable only through direct review of the response sheet.

1) GAIL’s VSPL LPG pipeline safety tender hard-codes risk contours for all scenarios, shifting QRA liability onto the agency
8The real contest will be between firms that can model and evidence risk credibly across a long, multi-site LPG system and those that only know how to format conclusions.
 
2) BPCL hard-locks MR TA 2026 UPS spares to Vertiv channel
8The proprietary gate and deviation discipline compress the bidder universe, while compliance-linked payment mechanics quietly reshape working-capital risk.
 
3) HPRGE’s 20 mw/28 MWP maharashtra solar PMC tender
8It turns consulting into open access optimisation plus day-zero document control
 
4) Bid deadline extended by 7 days for drone inspection package ahead of TA
8BPCL’s Mumbai refinery is using drone thermal and visual inspections to pull failure signals forward of the RMP-DHT turnaround window. The bid clock has been pushed by 7 days, but the bigger story is how the portal-driven pricing rules and security compliance stack quietly reshape who can even bid. The tender reads like a speed-and-control play—yet one clause mismatch hints at governance seams that vendors will watch closely.
 
5) Bid deadline pushed as IOCL’s QCBS leadership competency and assessment-centre tender seeks a viable field
8The extension lands in a limited-tender universe with portal-configured auto-extension mechanics, hinting that participation and compliance are the real constraints. What matters now is how bidders use the added days to harden the “quality story” without triggering the common GeM/ITB rejection traps.
 
6) IOCL’s Paradip refinery leak detection system tender stretches twice, then ends in a cancellation
8Two deadline extensions quietly changed the competitive physics before the tender was ultimately marked cancelled.

8The ethylene cracker licensor package is being rewritten into a tighter, less negotiable contract even as the bid window keeps slipping. Payment-term “creativity” is now explicitly penalised, and the dispute path is steered away from arbitration and toward promoter-controlled sequencing. The quiet question is whether the tender is filtering for only a handful of licensors—or signalling unresolved risk that bidders refuse to price blind.

8The regulator has quietly converted a routine date-extension cycle into a market-structure intervention. Clarifications restate that pipeline design includes connected infrastructure including storage and line balancing. Bidders warn duplication inflates project cost and tariff, but PNGRB largely holds the line

1) Sole technical bidder emerges for comp-recipro (labyrinth) package in NRL’s PPU project
8With only one technical bidder disclosedcompetitive discovery weakens.
 
2) Three-bidder technical opening after EIL’s late flare-system add-on tightens the desuperheater contest in PLL Dahej PDH-PP project
8A specific vendor list for control valves and accessories is introduced with the amendment. That reduces make variance but also narrows sourcing flexibility for bidders. It can drive hidden cost differences depending on each bidder’s approved supply chain
 
3) IOCL’s Haldia refinery super Sucker MOSRU hire tender sees 7 bidders but only 2 clear technical gate
8The SCC quietly loads availability risk onto the contractor through “extra crew at no cost”, emergency readiness, and a 24-hour repair expectation. With a buyer-set floor price and no reverse auction, the real contest shifts from price theatrics to documentation strength and execution depth.

1) IOCL’s Nagapattinam compression consultancy award crystallises into a two-bidder race with a 31.6% L2 premium
8The quiet story sits in the compliance tightening—IBC screening, bid hygiene rules, and security instruments that may have shaped who could even stay in the room.
 
2) L1 pricing breaks below estimate, but the asset class is response-critical in IOCL/WRPL Vadinar MOSRU
8The unanswered question is where the contractor plans to absorb compliance and uptime costs without degrading readiness.
 
3) IOCL Panipat refinery’s CCRU shutdown catalyst replacement award lands at estimate
8This is, while the rest of the field prices 44%–111% higher.
 
4) IOCL locks Lupech reliability into a dashboard-led rotary monitoring ARC
8The company then lands a wide-spread two-bid award
 
5) Parivesh lands a sharply underpriced eia/emp mandate for coal gasification to SNG plant at Bardhaman
8The price ladder is extreme, with L2 sitting roughly two-and-a-half times L1, raising questions about what “liaisoning” will really cost once MOEFCC queries start.
 
6) Rotostat undercuts the field to win BPCL Mumbai refinery ta 2026 package 3 lobs nhgu part a, with a 27.2% jump to l2
8The tender’s amendments quietly relax early mobilisation while hardening readiness enforcement through specific minimums and penalties. The combination sets up a contract where compliance capacity, not just price, decides who survives day one.
 
7) MRPL’s scaffolding ARC award turns into a two-bidder contest with a 195.0% price gap
8The contract’s dual-vendor intent adds a second layer of tension that will matter more than the headline L1 number.

8India’s ammonia import market has moved into the year-end period with slightly firmer prices but thinning spot activity, as higher global replacement costs feed through even while domestic buying appetite remains restrained.

It is easy to get month-old import data but it is difficult to solicit forthcoming shipment information in India. We go through a laborious process of data collection to get you full import information, including company-wise, quantity-wise, port-wise, vessel-wise cargoes which are coming into India in the next 15-to30 days.
