8One company has been invited for this Bongaigoan Refinery HGU PSA. And this looks like a broader trend in PSU refining projects: directly lining up original package licensors for sensitive sub-units (here, PSA for naphtha to LNG swtich) even when the parent HGU was licensed by a different entity.
8This reduces interface risk during feed rationalisation and BS-VI era tweaks. The addition of CPI-IW indexation with a published base (141.175) indicates a maturing template for specialist service deployment where cost-of-service exposure is real in remote locations like Dhaligaon.
8The payoff lies in whether licensor-led test runs can consistently deliver the documented hydrogen recovery and purity bands.

8IOCL/PRPC has opened a reverse-auctioned, item-wise PP catalyst buy with EMD marked “not applicable.” The tender leans on total landed cost at PRPC and strict document hierarchy to settle evaluation disputes. But the real story sits inside the Enquiry-cum-Offer: grade, performance metrics and delivery obligations that will ultimately shape the price curve.

8BPCL’s Ramayapatnam refinery-cum-petchem PTM departs from tradition by demanding audited financials and detailed PFCCU track records at the outset.
8The move shifts licensor qualification upstream, embedding selectivity before tender issue.
8How this shapes bidder behaviour and competition remains the open question.
8Licensors will be locked in for catalyst and proprietary hardware supply.
8This raises lifecycle OPEX lock-in issues for BPCL. Terms of catalyst replenishment remain unstated.
8And EIL has expanded PTM beyond project briefing into tendering philosophy and capability review. This is unusual compared to standard refinery PTMs. The policy driver behind this approach is unspoken

8IOCL has moved supervision of its 2,800 km KGPL pipeline into a new template: base costs are fixed, bidding levers are slim, and agencies face strict manpower and anti-poaching rules. The move narrows bidder pool and shifts risk. What this means for supervision contractors could reshape the inspection market.
