RIL has by far been both a pioneer and a leader in ethane imports
8But quietly and irrevocably, another parallel network, compelte with ships, is being built that will be bigger than the one built by RIL

Firms qualifying now could lock in eligibility for up to seven years, opening a multi-season runway for future Indian hydrocarbon exploration bids
8In a notable shift, EMD/Bid Bond for empanelment is waived
8Vendors need not submit operational plans as of now, and personnel bio-data bit can be skipped too More importantly, empanelment remains perpetually open, allowing seismic survey players to update documents and join anytime, making India’s exploration landscape more fluid.
8Vendors can skip paper work through must align technical capacities behind their signed promises.
8This is going to be good business for intrepid entrepreneurs, but remembe though though, only bidders with 250 LKM of 2D or 50 SKM of 3D seismic data acquired using explosives in the last 7 years qualify. So a tie-up will do the job. Foreign parent credentials are allowed but only if they hold 100% equity in the bidding Indian entity

8OIL’s amendment allowing 2×10,000 SCMD compressors instead of a single 20,000 SCMD unit suggests technical recalibration and responsiveness to field realities.

FOR INDIA’S OILFIELDS, IT’S SHAPE UP OR SHIP OUT—OFFSHORE MARINE VESSELS MUST PROVE THEY BELONG
India’s DGS draft sets the tone for a post-2028 offshore regime where emissions, inspection records, and engine data decide whether E&P vessels can even stay in the game.
8Rigs Must Go Green: MODUs Now Need Carbon Index Score to Stay Afloat
Even rigs certified under MODU or SPS Code—previously exempt—must now pass the DGS’s Sustainability Indexing Score by March 2028. No scorecard, no Indian flag.
8DP2 or Not, Age Alone Won’t Save Offshore Workboats After 2028
India’s draft norms give DP2 vessels a path to operate till 30—but only if they pass annual OVID audits and achieve a sustainability score of 80+. The bar is higher than it looks.
8E&P Marine Units Face Hard Cap: No AHT, Tug, or Barge Allowed Past 25 Without Green Score
Anchor-handling tugs, tow vessels, and dumb barges used in oilfield development must now meet strict age limits—or prove their efficiency through carbon and safety audits.
8Pipe-Lay and Seismic Vessels Now Need Annual Audits to Remain Licensed
Even specialized offshore units must now undergo yearly inspections and meet DGS-approved green vetting standards. Compliance failure means GTL withdrawal.
8Indian EEZ Tightens Access: Foreign-Flagged OSVs for E&P Face Age and Audit Barriers
Foreign OSVs used in Indian exploration blocks must meet the same sustainability and age cut-offs as Indian vessels. No more backdoor chartering of old tonnage.
8March 2028 Is Final Cutoff for Legacy E&P Vessels Without SIS Scores
Older E&P support vessels will be de-flagged unless they cross minimum green thresholds under DGS’s new 125-point index. Operators must retrofit or retire.
8Annual Carbon Scoring Comes to the Oil Patch: E&P Fleet Must Quantify Emissions
Main engine CO? output, auxiliary fuel burn, shore power readiness, and methane slip are now license factors. Offshore operators must show measurable green performance.
8Sustainability Index Will Split Winners from Losers in India’s E&P Marine Market
Only vessels scoring 90+ on DGS’s carbon, audit, and safety matrix will get 5-year operating extensions. Others must exit or reflag—reshaping India’s offshore logistics landscape.
8Green Capex Now Inevitable: Offshore Fleet Owners Must Retrofit for Carbon and Vetting Compliance
VFDs, silicone coatings, SCR systems, and class-audited vetting scores are no longer optional for offshore fleet operators. The sustainability index makes them core to licensing.
8For India’s Oilfields, It’s Shape Up or Ship Out—Offshore Marine Vessels Must Prove They Belong
India’s DGS draft sets the tone for a post-2028 offshore regime where emissions, inspection records, and engine data decide whether E&P vessels can even stay in the game.                   

8And if it goes south, it can sink the company

CGD firms may no longer get three chances as PNGRB considers scrapping the “three strikes” leniency clause in favor of instant penalties—raising industry alarm over disproportionate consequences for minor deviations
8However entities will no longer need PNGRB TPIA approvals during design, pre-construction, or pre-commissioning. But they must self-audit and document rigorously—or face regulatory heat later
8Operators worry the current draft amendment omits reference to Section 28 of the PNGRB Act—raising fears of being slapped with double penalties for a single violation
8A single technical deviation could now incur penalties under each applicable regulation—multiplying exposure for integrated projects and increasing risk for CGD networks

Civil works for auxiliary units have progressed significantly, and paving and finishing work have commenced in non-critical areas. Mechanical erection continues at a steady pace, with major systems such as boilers, compressors, cooling towers, and storage tanks in advanced stages of installation. Piping and structural integration are being executed across multiple units. Electrical and instrumentation work has picked up momentum, including cable laying, panel installation, and loop checking. Work on utility systems like the DM water plant, fire-fighting network, and effluent treatment plant is progressing in parallel. The control room setup has begun, with system configuration and interface testing underway. The project remains on schedule and is being closely monitored to ensure timely commissioning in the second half of FY26.
