8Oil India has quietly turned a routine empanelment into a detailed filter on who can touch its next wave of onshore seismic work.

8Only two are left in the race
8The survivors are those who navigated not just technical specifications but also TPIA, ESG and steel-policy paperwork without slipping.
8What that means for price discovery, field reliability and the next generation of OIL’s well-services contracts is where the real story now lies.

8One one bidder dragged itself to participate

8What this extreme price spread says about risk-loading, vendor strategy and future rotating-equipment bids at Dahej is where the real story lies.

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.

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.

8ONGC’s three-year intelligent pigging tender has quietly narrowed the field to a handful of high-end companies

Iffco, Coromandel, PPL and Wilson are all in the market for December-loading sulphur cargoes.
8But sellers are pushing premiums that weren’t on the table a week ago.
8Buyers want volumes—but at prices the market is no longer offering.
8Lower offers from non-mainstream origins briefly sparked interest.
8But paperwork hurdles and slow voyages are killing conversion.
