8Summary of the 10th AGM and CEO’s Presentation [IRM]

1) BPCL HCU revamp EPCM bid pushed to 03 Oct as liability capped at 20% in BPCL Mumbai refinery
8BPCL has extended its HCU revamp EPCM bid to 03-10-2025 and quietly recut the liability maths. A new addendum caps exposure at 20% while pruning an open-ended negligence carve-out. The social-media compliance hook and digital housekeeping point to a tighter governance spine—not just a date shift.
 
2) Standards trump sketches in thermowell details in ONGC Hazira Part-B
8EIL replaced a requested project sketch with thermowell Standard 7-52-0035, tightening geometry and acceptance to a master reference. That removes interpretation latitude in a brownfield where tapping lengths and wake-frequency are unforgiving. The upside is fewer NCRs; the downside is zero room for site-fit improvisation.
 
3) Bid date pushed again for composite pipeline revamp in Hazira Part-B
8EIL has granted a second extension for the ONGC Hazira Part-B pipeline composite works, taking the bid date to 10 October. The scope’s hot-work interfaces and cathodic protection deliverables demanded deeper sub-vendor alignment. Policy filters remain tight, so this extra runway could reshape bidder strategy without relaxing compliance.
 
4) Bid window for 47 GC systems extended by 14 days in BPCL Bina Petchem & refinery expansion
8BPCL has pushed the bid deadline for its BPREP gas chromatograph package out by two weeks. The move intersects strict provenness rules, a licensor-tied NDA, and a heavy EMD regime. What it signals for bidder appetite and schedule risk is inside.

1) Hydrotesting of siding pipelines pulled after bid window in HPCL Bareilly New IRD
8HPCL quietly cancelled a low-value, high-impact hydrotest package for its Bareilly New IRD siding lines. The scope was routine on paper but unforgiving on restoration timelines and cashflow. The cancellation resets both the shutdown clock and the pricing test for local hydrotest vendors.
 
2) BPCL Kandla LPG terminal surveys face reset after mass technical disqualifications in BPCL Kandla pipeline survey
8BPCL’s pipeline survey tender for the Kandla LPG import terminal drew six bidders but only one cleared the technical bar. With competition thin and compliance strict, the buyer has cancelled the round. The reissue will likely harden expectations around DGPS-driven alignment, crossings geometry and cadastral depth.

8Indian Oil Corporation has completed technical openings for all three grouped station works in the Mundra–Panipat Pipeline conversion, drawing four bidders for Group-1, three for Group-2 and three for Group-3. Despite shifting dates, IOCL held firm on PQCs and liabilities, ensuring only technically credible mid-tier EPCs entered the fray. The outcome sets the stage for a high-stakes financial round where execution discipline will matter as much as margins.

Edwin Babu takes Factory NOC consultancy at Palakkad POL terminal of BPCL
8BPCL has closed the Factory NOC consultancy for its Palakkad POL terminal on GeM. A hyper-local bidder undercut the field by a startling margin, despite unlimited liaison obligations. The payment design and a 03-month timeline will test execution discipline.

Technical scope tightens around live interfaces in BPCL Bina Refinery
8BPCL’s HAZOP spans 260 P&IDs, utilities, and DCS/ESD interfaces with IEC 61882 methodology. Daily status, risk-matrix reporting, and close-out meetings hardwire execution discipline. The insistence on on-site sessions reduces blind spots typical in virtual reviews.

1) Shortest-route enforcement and 10-day payments define three-year crude road logistics hire in ONGC Assam Asset
8ONGC has launched a three-year hire of seven crude tankers with price discovery tied to a fixed days-and-kilometres formula.
8The shortest-route rule and random capacity checks will test operational discipline even as payments are promised within 10 days.
8The split-award design and a minimum two-tanker bar could reshape who competes, and at what price points.
 
2) IUVL sets 45-day completion and EMD waiver for CB-ONN civil package under single-award, no-RA format in CB-ONN-2005/9 & 2005/3
8IUVL wants a 45-day civil turnaround at CB-ONN, but has removed EMD while keeping a 10% security deposit after award.
8Reverse auction is off the table, and L1 will be judged on total price including GST.
8The catch lies in tight PQC verification and a tie-break matrix that can flip outcomes at the last step.
 3) OIL India awards PS6 OFC/telecom maintenance as L1 at Rs 61.43 lakh
8The two-way contest closed with a clean L1 at Rs 61.43 lakh.
8A 13.2% gap to L2 hints at disciplined, first-shot pricing under a no-RA format.
8The real story is the penalty-heavy attendance regime and a duration anomaly that contractors will want clarified.
 
4) MMPL Private Limited wins integrated coring and non-core package for CBM Asset Bokaro as L1
8A three-way contest in ONGC’s Bokaro CBM package has closed with MMPL Private Limited as L1.
8The buyer widened experience criteria to include Coal while keeping coring responsibility non-subcontractable.
8The winning strategy likely mixed in-house coring depth with partnered logging/IFT and disciplined first-shot pricing.
 
5) Three majors clear the technical gate for directional/MWD package in OIL Mahanadi Basin directional drilling
8They have all qualified on OIL’s two-packet directional drilling bid.
8The SOW’s hard lines on calibration, MTBF, and backup penalties now shape the real contest.
8What the buyer says on staffing buffers and option-clause execution will decide who prices uptime most credibly.

1) Six clear the technical gate for OALP-I 2D/3D seismic as one bidder falls out
8A seven-way seismic race has narrowed to six after technical scrutiny.
8The GeM two-packet, no-RA format and a stiff EMD have set a compliance-heavy tone.
8What the promoter now says on performance security validity and mobilisation penalties will decide who can carry North-East risk at scale.
 
2) Two pre-named manufacturers enter the fray for Kathana PPD in ONGC Cambay PPD/flow improver
8A focused contest has been pulled for a spec-locked PPD at Kathana GGS.
8With only two pre-named participants, corporate lab numbers and destination sampling will decide the race.
8A small ITB contradiction on integrity-pact applicability could still trip compliance if left unresolved.
 
3) Sole bidder enters single-bid invite to inspect 5″ drill pipes against live GeM order
8A single participant has been called in to inspect 5″ drill pipes for a multi-consignee GeM order.
8The bid stays single-part with no EMD, a 5% PBG and payment only after final inspection reports.
8The closing date has been pushed to 23 September, tightening alignment with the manufacturer’s production run.
 
4) Helideck net supply for offshore rig Sagar Shakti cancelled after GeM issue, with CAP 437-driven spec remaining the benchmark
8A safety-critical helideck net buy is off the table for now.
8The tender married BIS-licensed sisal ropes and CAP 437 compliance with QAD inspection but sought no EMD/ePBG.
8What drove the cancellation — and what changes in a re-tender — will shape who can meet the offshore HSE bar at the right price.
 
5) Corrigendum tightens SCC/SLA precedence and clarifies mobilisation and dispute-resolution routes in Panna & Tapti
8A corrigendum has been used to hard-wire SCC/SLA precedence over GeM boilerplate.
8The tweak also routes dispute resolution back to the SLA and pins mobilisation to SCC, not the portal’s auto-dates.
8Crew sizing and on-duty POB guidance in the SCC aim to stabilise a complex takeover.

1) ONGC fixes strict no-subcontract stance and live-line experience bar for Anklav Tee hot tapping in Cambay Asset
8A live-line double stoppling at Anklav Tee will decide how many bidders are truly equipped for hydrocarbon hot taps.
8Ongc’s EMD/PBG flex helps liquidity but its no-subcontract rule and ten-year experience test keep the bar high.
8The evaluation will likely reward firms with in-house stopple heads and documented completions.
 
2) Mobilisation relaxed, steel policy added, and TPI proof mandated in slickline hire
8Owner has eased the start-line but tightened the paperwork.
8Mobilization shifts to 120 days while a national steel-compliance form and a TPI attestation become bid gates.
8The net impact on bidder pool, schedule risk, and field diagnostics will surprise some readers.
 
3) OIL extends CT/N2 well-servicing GeM bid to 06 October 2025 in Oil India Limited
8OIL has pushed the bid deadline for its CT/N2/FPU stimulation package to 06 October 2025.
8The scope and safety envelope remain unchanged while the buyer reiterates an amended ATC pack.
8The extra time may widen participation but will not soften penalty or readiness discipline.
 
4) ONGC pushes Assam MPPU bid to 01 October 2025, tweaks mixing/displacement tanks
8ONGC has extended its Assam MPPU tender to 01 October 2025.
8The corrigendum trims batch-mix capacity but formalizes displacement tanks and simplifies the console.
8Bidders get time, but availability and penalty discipline remain unchanged.
 
5) OIL pushes 1000 HP mobile rig bid to 08 October 2025 with ATC reaffirmed
8OIL has moved the bid deadline by 34 days to 08 October 2025.
8The technical bar and mobilization discipline remain unchanged even as pre-bid minutes and ATC are published.
8The shift is designed to widen compliant participation, not to soften specifications.

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

8EIL has issued a pre-tender meet pack for a 125 TPD press-mud CBG project with five-year O&M on an LSTK basis. A collaborator-based qualification route is on the table, but with back-to-back guarantees and strict documentary proof. One methane-purity inconsistency could alter design margins and acceptance testing if not clarified before bids.

8GAIL has pushed timelines and clarified that the PMC won’t be penalised for delays caused by the Historian SI or owner-side fronts. The two-year contract, standard 5% CPS and vendor-neutral mandate point to a governance-first delivery model. Whether the Big-4 plus Mecon mix converts technical strengths into a robust commissioning path will hinge on connectivity and cyber discipline.

1) Cooling tower package pre-tender sets single-responsibility water-system agenda of a PP project
8NRL and EIL have lined up a virtual pre-tender to frame the scope, BQC and schedule for the PP project’s cooling-water system. The package rolls tower hardware, civil foundations, pumps and six-month dosing O&M into one responsibility. What bidders extract on PGTR metrics, liabilities and working-capital buffers will decide margins.
 
2) BPCL’s Bina petchem expansion readies API 610 vertical pump package under DCB with eight-month delivery in its BPREP
8EIL has called a pre-tender meet for API 610 vertical pump packages spanning refinery drains, flare KODs, and petchem transfers at Bina. The package couples design-to-field trials scope with a tight eight-month FOT site delivery and domestic competitive bidding. PTR and audited financials are in, but the risk clauses and cashflow levers will surface only in the bid.
 
3) EIL has called an online pre-tender session for the centrifugal pump package at BPCL’s Bina expansion
8An NDA gate, a domestic competition lane, and a 10-month FOT schedule set the tone before technicals are disclosed. Financial computation rules are pre-defined, hinting at tighter screening ahead.
 
4) GAIL’s DUPL-DDPL augmentation wraps EIA, marine and CRZ into a single accredited mandate
8GAIL has bundled EIA/EMP, marine impact and CRZ studies with end-to-end liaisoning under a one-year, overall-L1 package. Category “A” accreditation and prior hydrocarbon CRZ/MIA work sharply narrow eligibility while raising delivery certainty. The 27-month ePBG signals sustained accountability—but the real test will be how bidders price combined regulatory risk.

1) Bina BPREP pumps tender extends to 29 September as EIL issues technical amendment and tightens VS1 interfaces
8The vertical SPP package under BPREP has been pushed through four bid-due extensions while EIL upgraded key datasheets and added vessel design references. The owner also clarified scope through PBQ replies, keeping LCS and ARC valve outside pump vendor supply and locking NPSH/boot interfaces to amended documents. The mix broadens eligibility under MII while ratcheting accountability via corporate guarantees.
 
2) Reactor envelope widened to −20 C to 200 C for IOCL Bottom Upgradation
8The corrigendum extends reactor operating limits and affirms 80-bar service. This widens chemistry windows, especially for aromatic and halide media. It also drives higher-grade seals and jacket design.
 
3) Membrane specs clarified mid-tender
8Corrigendum No.1 fixes UF and RO models and permits equivalent RO with a three-year guarantee. That trims brand ambiguity but locks performance liability on the O&M side. It is a calculated push for apples-to-apples bids.
 
4) EIL extends bid date and tightens PPP-MII and datasheets for horizontal process pumps in BPCL Bina BPREP
8The pump package has been extended to 03-10-2025. EIL has issued TA-1 and two commercial amendments that reshape evaluation mandays and execution-stage PPP-MII proofs. Vendors seeking BB2 swaps or NPSHa relaxations will find the bar unchanged in most tags.
 
5) Bid clock pushed again as safety and digital scope clarified — BPCL PRFCC Mumbai Refinery
8BPCL has twice extended the PRFCC EPCM bid date while clarifying process-safety modeling and digital integration ground rules. The price schedule quietly introduces reduced man-month reimbursements during vendor-driven overruns, tightening late-stage cashflows. Whether an “automatic” shift to 29-Sep is formally notified will shape final week bid behavior.
 
6) IOCL-Digboi pushes CCUS market test with flue-gas sale EOI, extends bid date to 01 October
8IOCL-Digboi is asking bidders to lift flue-gas directly from heaters and reformers for carbon capture and utilization. The refinery has disclosed detailed CO? compositions and volumes, and is offering a five-year horizon with pricing per MT of flue-gas. A nine-day extension hints at a specialist vendor pool and credential-heavy participation.

1) CRU-specific QC is the core, not an add-on in IOCL Guwahati Refinery
8The scope front-loads RT interpretation, PMI checks and hydrotest witnessing, with daily observation reports. This reduces punch-points before MC. We’ll show where documentation stringency raises the bar.
 
2) Three bidders in for CPP shutdown insulation package in IOCL Paradip Refinery
8IOCL’s Paradip CPP shutdown tender drew three techno-bid participants in a critical, indivisible works package. The PQC and “similar nature” rules point to an insulation-heavy vendor pool with hydrocarbon credentials. With bid dates extended and time of completion fixed at 11 months from site handover, the competition now pivots to qualification clarity and schedule assurance.
 
3) HPCL LMBU pumps: EIL’s amendment flips guaranteed-power filing to priced bid as sole bidder enters
8EIL has replaced the BOQ and rewired how guaranteed BKW must be filed for HPCL’s LMBU vertical SPP pumps. But an earlier RFQ sheet still tells bidders to upload guarantees in the unpriced part, creating a procedural minefield. With only DMW in the technical ring, a portal-level supersession note could decide whether this closes cleanly or spirals into delay.
 
4) QCBS 80:20 sets the tone for selection for GAIL Gas public listing
8The tender hard-codes a quality-heavy evaluation with a 75-mark floor before financials open. That prioritises credible India IPO credentials over low quotes. Expect pricing discipline but not at the cost of advisory depth.
 
5) Two of three bidders clear technical bar for Factory NOC consultancy in BPCL Palakkad POL terminal
8BPCL has moved the Palakkad terminal’s Factory NOC support to the short list, with two firms passing technical scrutiny. The paperwork is Kerala-heavy: competent-person certification, all drawings re-cast, and unlimited liaison until NOC. But the bid pack’s own contradictions on EMD and timelines could yet shape the price fight.

1) Emerson secures Palakkad DeltaV control-system upgrade in IOC’s /KSPPL Palakkad-Salem LPG pipeline
8IOCL has awarded the Palakkad control-system modification to the incumbent OEM. The job folds new hazardous-area RIO and I/O expansions into the existing DeltaV stack with a 30-day performance trial. Date extensions marked the pre-award phase, but the core scope and risk posture stayed intact.
 
2) NRL awards BOO CAAQMS contract with 90% analyser-uptime requirement
8A two-station ambient monitoring package at Numaligarh has been awarded under a BOO model with monthly rentals. NRL retained a stricter 90% analyser-level uptime despite a bidder’s ask to align with CPCB’s 85% norm. A wide L1–L2 price gap points to sharply different risk loading and operational models.
 
3) Technical philosophy simplified in Petronet LNG PDH-PP
8TA-01 removed master–follower and ECS signal requirements, aligning the controls scope to essentials. That reduces interfaces and risks at start-up. Expect fewer software dependencies in FAT/SAT.
 
4) AS Cooling edges L1 on CT mega-BOQ as EIL bakes PV-of-customs into evaluation in BPCL Bina BPREP
8A multi-BOQ bid cycle for BPCL Bina’s cooling towers delivered sharp spreads and some eye-watering outliers. EIL’s revised evaluation added PV-of-customs and operations manpower, changing how import-heavy bids clear. Technical edits on cell count and access close long-standing ambiguities without shifting risk off the contractor.
 
5) Single-window approvals consultancy awarded for Thanjavur and Mangalore LPG plants in BPCL
8BPCL has closed a 6-month, milestone-paid liaison package to secure CTE, Factories, Fire and DM NOCs for its Thanjavur and Mangalore LPG plants. The scope leans on LSDA-based DM clearances for 3×300 MT and 1×600 MT MSVs, with weekly progress reporting baked in. With a single bidder emerging, the price-discovery question shifts to how PQC framing and split LDs shape future turnout.
