8The hydraulic test lab package includes a universal bench scope, but ONGC’s standard-heavy tender structure leans on high guarantees, GST compliance risks, and tight mobilization.
8No pre-bid window limits course correction, and MSMEs may face qualification choke points.
ESG compliance made mandatory in mid-value tubing tender
8OIL has institutionalised ESG compliance for purchase orders above Rs. 20 crore—failure to file the ESG questionnaire within 15 days is now treated as contractual default.

8The bundled Rs. 75 crore workover rig services contract saw one service provider emerge as L1 with aggressive pricing.
8A wide bid gap hints at execution risk premiums and MSME exclusion fallout.

8Oil India has issued a high-stakes global charter tender for two Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) vessels to support upcoming drilling across India’s East and West coast waters.
8While pre-bid flexibility is offered, final conditions are locked post-clarification—leaving little room for bidder-side repricing or tech shifts. Bid security stands over Rs. 4 crore.

8By capping aircraft age at the contract’s end rather than start, this new EOI instantly filters out older flying assets.

ONGC drops Tripura references in fire safety tender; Ahmedabad Asset takes full control
8A sweeping corrigendum removes all Tripura-based roles from ONGC’s LSTK fire protection tender, reassigning execution, payments, and coordination solely to Ahmedabad.
8The fix clarifies asset responsibility ahead of bid submission and site execution.
Oil India extends rig hire bid to 31 July; pre-bid concessions hint at super single rig play
8The bid deadline for Oil India’s 1000 HP mobile rig contract has been extended again, now closing on July 31.
8With deep-well norms relaxed and super single rigs allowed, the tender signals a shift toward contractor inclusivity—but not without execution trade-offs.
