1) Bid deadline for HF and CT mega-package shifted to 4 December for ONGC Rajahmundry and CBM assets
8ONGC has quietly pushed back the closing of its two-year HF and CT tender for Rajahmundry and CBM assets to 4 December.
8The 17-day extension leaves a demanding SOW, heavy securities and strict documentation load completely untouched.
8What looks like a minor calendar tweak may in fact reveal how ONGC is balancing vendor depth, HPHT risk and GeM’s procedural limits.
 
2) Four-rig onshore charter bid date pushed to 15 December
8ONGC has quietly shifted the four-rig charter’s bid clock from 1 December to 15 December without loosening a single technical screw.
8Behind the two-week extension sits a tender that demands OEM-certified BOPs, fail-safe braking on all rigs and 1100 HP pumps for Ahmedabad.
8Whether the market can field enough compliant rigs on this new timeline will decide if ONGC’s tougher onshore standards become the new normal.
 
3) Digital-transformation SI empanelment pushed to 30 December under ONGC Project DOT and enterprise platforms
8ONGC has quietly moved its flagship digital-transformation SI empanelment to a 30 December closing without touching the underlying BEC or scope.
8Behind that simple date change sit new templates for key-personnel evidence and harder edges on parent-support and insolvency filters.
8Whether global SIs accept this heavier documentation and liability load will decide how much competition ONGC really has when it starts issuing limited tenders.
 
4) Oil India stretches Cuttack 200 TPD CBG EPCOM bid to 11 December after multiple PQC and safety-clause tweaks
8Oil India has pushed its flagship 200 TPD Cuttack MSW-CBG EPCOM tender out to 11 December 2025, marking at least the fifth bid-date reset.
8Behind the new deadline sit quieter but sharper moves: PQC bars cut, O&M tenure halved, safety-permit micro-clauses deleted and EMD validity recalibrated.
8Whether this recalibration finally unlocks a competitive, bankable bidder set will only be clear when the technical covers are opened.
 

1) Bio Petro Clean wins IOCL Mathura ETP consultancy
8IOCL has awarded the Mathura Refinery ETP consultancy after a narrow two-vendor technical qualification. The winning bid came in materially below the second-ranked bidder, reflecting a moderately competitive spread. The scope now moves into a compressed three-month optimisation cycle with strict reporting and shock-load guarantees.

1) IOCL R&D shortlists two bidders for commercialising proprietary CO?-capture sorbent technologies
8IOCL’s R&D division has opened the technical bids for its CO?-capture sorbent commercialisation EOI. Only two bidders Balief Corporation and Psichem Biotech have entered the field, reflecting a specialised vendor pool. The high-bar PQC now becomes the pivot for deciding who advances to commercial-stage discussions.
 
2) BPCL Bina narrows field to two vendors for ATF reactor charcoal job
8BPCL’s technical evaluation has left only two bidders in contention for the ATF reactor charcoal replacement contract. Three participants were ruled out at the qualification stage.

8EVA has fallen Rs 7/kg over the past month, marking a clearer expansion from earlier tight trading. The three-month comparison remains broadly steady, signposting a range expansion led by recent declines.

8PS has dipped Rs 3/kg over the past fortnight, easing slightly from mid-month levels. The product is nearly flat on the month view, reflecting a mild compression in recent domestic trading.

8PVC has lost Rs 5/kg over the past fortnight, continuing a multi-week down sequence. The product is also well below its three-month level, reinforcing a clear downward streak through November.

8HDPE is unchanged from last week and remains close to its fortnight reading. The month comparison shows a Rs 1/kg softening, reflecting a stabilising pattern near recent lows.

8LLDPE is flat compared with last week and only slightly lower than its fortnight reading. Over the month, prices have eased by Rs 3/kg, reflecting a mild compression in recent domestic trading.

8LDPE is down Rs 2/kg over the past month, softening from late-October levels. The product is also below its three-month reference, marking a steady drift rather than a sharp reset.

8Palm Oil has moved across a band of more than Rs 30/kg over the past three months, from recent lows to earlier peaks. The latest reading sits at the softer edge of that span, below the levels seen a few months ago.

8Carbendazim has slipped by about Rs 3/kg over the past fortnight, but broader moves have been limited. India prices continue to cluster in a narrow corridor, with the domestic market showing little follow-through beyond small shifts.

8Dicalcium Phosphate is roughly Rs 15/kg lower than a year ago, reflecting a clear step-down from earlier valuations. Recent weeks have seen prices settle close to the softer end of that shift rather than attempting a full rebound.

8Liquid Chlorine is about Rs 7/kg higher than three months ago, recovering from much softer levels seen earlier in the year. The latest readings are not far from the recent peak, placing the product near the stronger end of its current India price history.

8C10 Solvent bulk values have shown no change this week and remain flat compared with the previous fortnight. Over a three-month lens, India prices are only about Rs 2/kg higher, pointing to a prolonged sideways phase

8Pendimethalin is now roughly Rs 43/kg cheaper than six months ago, marking a sustained softening from mid-year levels. A small weekly uptick has not reversed the broader downward run in India prices.

8Phosphorus Oxychloride has gained about Rs 14/kg over the past month but now sits below earlier peak levels. Domestic market readings have cooled from prior quarters even as the recent month-on-month recovery remains intact.

8Hexaconazole is about Rs 2/kg lower than the fortnight reference and roughly Rs 8/kg below the month-ago level in Ahmedabad’s imported intact market. Despite this loss of recent highs, the product remains around Rs 45/kg above its year-ago reading.

8Cyhalothrin is about Rs 30/kg higher than six months ago in Ahmedabad’s imported intact market, even though the latest month view shows a drop of roughly Rs 40/kg. The combination of higher half-year levels and a softer month comparison points to a wider trading range emerging in recent data.

8Chloroform has slipped about Rs 1/kg compared with fortnight and month readings, but this week’s level is unchanged from last Friday. Over a year, the product is roughly Rs 9/kg cheaper, highlighting a gentle downward drift rather than a sharp correction.

8Concentrated Nitric Acid 98% is broadly flat on a month comparison, with Ahmedabad domestic intact prices showing little movement in recent weeks. On a year-on-year basis, however, the product is about Rs 8.5/kg lower, leaving the latest readings closer to past lows than to last year’s higher prints.

8Anionic Surfactant is about Rs 8/kg higher than three months ago, leaving Ahmedabad imports close to the upper end of recent outcomes. Over a full year, the product has added nearly Rs 29/kg, reflecting a firm climb in India prices.

8Formaldehyde has shown almost no change this week, with the Ahmedabad retail intact market hovering near familiar levels. Over the past month, the product has gained only about Rs 0.5/kg, underscoring how narrow the recent trading band has been.
