8ONGC has answered the toughest questions by hard-anchoring BOP recertification to OEM or OEM-authorised shops.
8Equipment downgrades sought by bidders were mostly refused, signalling a reliability-over-cost posture

8The move locks in operational synergies but challenges contractors with scope expansion at fixed pricing.
8An extended deadline gives major offshore players more room to align bids.
8Big companies line up

1) Dual-bar performance regime set for sucker-rod servicing in ONGC Ahmedabad Asset.
8ONGC has tied start-up LDs to a separate weekly throughput recovery, tightening both ramp-up and run-rate discipline.
8Milestone-only invoicing and strict price-breakup controls reshape cashflow and compliance behaviour.
8A limited vendor pool on GeM narrows the field while raising the bar on yard-readiness.
 
2) Compressed rig-painting schedule with DFT-tight QA set for training rig IPS-M700-10
8ONGC wants the training rig painted to marine-grade specifications under a 7-day mobilization and 30-day execution rhythm.
8LDs kick in for delay, while DFT logs and staged inspections raise the quality bar.
8Lump sum with vendor-sized BOQs could widen spreads between disciplined and casual bidders.
 
3) Deep price dispersion marks HAZOP/QRA package in ONGC Assam Asset.
8ONGC’s Assam Asset has ranked bids for multi-site HAZOP and QRA with a striking spread between L1 and L6.
8The scope mandates PHAST/SAFETI modelling and compresses delivery into 180 days.
8The pricing outcome will test whether lean risk teams can deliver regulator-grade outputs at scale.
 
4) M/s Ravindra R. Gupta takes L1 in ONGC Mehsana civil works contract
8A tightly structured bid process sees Ravindra R. Gupta emerge as L1 with a 20% quantum, showcasing ONGC's push for experienced civil contractors.
8The option for scaling work by up to 40% adds flexibility, though it places operational pressure on contractors.
8Pricing stability remains a key factor as bidders navigate the firm contract terms.
 
5) Bharti Airtel, Embee Software disqualified as OIL adjusts mobilization timeline for this contract
8With Bharti Airtel and Embee Software disqualified, the focus on strict compliance with technical criteria intensifies.
8The extended mobilization period allows contractors more flexibility, but penalties for delays loom large.
8The move to hire a secondary layer of email security signals OIL’s commitment to robust cybersecurity but raises competition concerns.
 
6) ONGC readies three-year mobile ETP packages: Scope refixed
8ONGC has clarified who pays for what at site while leaving the treatment design to the contractor.
8What remains is execution discipline—weekly lab proof, sealed meters, and four-day moves.

8Find out why that is so

Three make the technical cut for SAC facilitation at Hathua LPG hub
8BPCL’s Hathua LPG hub consultancy pushes a dense SAC checklist into a 90-day window with 100% payment on final approval. GeM shows EMD switched off even as the ATC frames an EMD regime, a tension bidders cannot ignore. With four bidders and three qualified, watch how balance-sheet stamina prices regulatory uncertainty.

8FInd out what it is

1) Butene-1 licensor bar tightened with cross-border proof and 20-week BEDP clock
8BPCL has opened licensor selection for a 50 KTPA Butene-1 unit with strict global reference criteria. The IFB compresses BEDP to 20 weeks from kick-off and fixes a 12-month bid validity under a CPP-only process. Catalyst swaps are allowed, but only with proven alternate references and one-year operating proof.
 
2) BPCl’s Ramayapatnam Phenol unit licensor race sets 24-week BEDP clock and export-proven BQC filter
8BPCL has drawn a hard line on licensor credibility and schedule for its Ramayapatnam phenol unit. A 24-week BEDP and strict non-home-country ≥100 ktpa references narrow the field to a handful. The payoff lies in who can pair guarantees with lowest lifecycle NPV.
 
3) L1 at 21% below estimate splits the field in BPCL AP refinery ODC/OWC survey
8A three-month cap and no reverse auction created a clean, SOR-anchored price war. One bidder dived 21% below estimate while three clustered near Rs 10 lakh. The structure signals speed over ceremony for early-works logistics.

8The award locks in a relocatable API 674 pumping fleet to unblock injectivity at eight wells without fixed lines.
8A tighter telemetry regime and DO-linked penalties could reshape contractor practices on dosing and uptime.
8The price curve shows a sharp mid-pack step-up and an extreme outlier, raising questions on risk loading that the market will parse behind the scenes.

1) Foam system overhaul on ARN & SKO tanks tightens schedule and quality screws in ONGC Hazira
8ONGC Hazira’s foam-system retrofit hard-codes a 15-day mobilization inside a 180-day completion clock and links cashflow to commissioning.
8Dual LDs and chargeable retests push first-time-right execution under OISD-116.
8But an SCC-GCC timeline mismatch could be the sleeper risk bidders must price in.
 
 2) Cycle-tight gas detector maintenance hard-codes dual LDs and cash-flow discipline in ONGC Cauvery Asset
8ONGC Cauvery Asset’s three-year calibration plan forces six-monthly cycles with installation-wise accountability.
8Dual LDs for mobilisation and completion raise the cost of delay while an option clause gives room to scale.
8No advances and a long ePBG push financing onto vendors, reshaping who can compete.
 
 3) World Fire wins Tripura drilling fire-tender hire, L2 trails by 16.2% in OIL Frontier Basin Project fire tender
8OIL has closed a three-year hire for a fully kitted multi-purpose fire tender to shadow its Tripura drilling campaign.
8The spec loads in UHP mist, SCBA redundancy, and crew standards more common to downstream plants than remote pads.
8A two-horse race left L2 at a 16.2% premium, raising questions on crew logistics and inventory risk that the market will parse behind the wall.

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

8The licensor playbook is out for BPCL’s 265 KTPA Cumene line into phenol. Dates are tight, the EMD is unforgiving, and run-proven references are non-negotiable. The technical bar now hinges on energy, yield, and single-train availability. Three sections define the heart of the unit: alkylation, trans-alkylation, and deep fractionation. The unit must deliver ≥99.95 wt% product to feed phenol. Battery-limit definitions and OSBL utility interfaces keep scope clarity high.

8IOCL’s five-year DMDS EOI arrives with zero EMD and a tight technical envelope. But a corrigendum slashes the headline quantity by 90%, creating a glaring mismatch with the notice. Will the pre-bid settle scope or widen uncertainty into the formal tender?

Sole technical bid for GPR recirculation compressor package arrives under tight PTR and PPP-MII gates in IOCL Paradip PP Line-2
8IOCL has opened the technical bid for the GPR recirculation compressor at Paradip with only one OEM in the fray. PTR and Class-I PPP-MII filters, paired with a hard NDA gate, appear to have narrowed the field. The delivery-is-essence clause now shifts pressure onto build schedules and component lead times.
