8EIL has rejected all attempts to loosen the UPS package, from cable swaps to rear-clearance demands. Delivery stays locked to the purchase order date, not drawings, and FO termination is firmly in bidder scope. A tight option clause and RFQ-over-GeM hierarchy complete a buyer-leaning construct

1) EMD waived, trader licence mandatory: IOCL Gujarat Refinery narrows field for exchange power buy
8IOCL Gujarat Refinery wants a Category-I CERC trader with exchange membership and a one-year, 5 MWh-average trading track record. EMD is off the table, but compliance and HSE obligations are uncompromising. The bid opens in two parts with price discovery gated behind technical clearance.
 
2) Paradip sulphuric acid and cetane improver tanks consultancy packs a 30-day clock
8IOCL has opened a two-bid consultancy tender for designing a sulphuric acid tank and a cetane improver tank at Paradip. The NIT sets a 30-day completion bar with no EMD but a 5% ePBG. Tight refinery-grade PQCs and OISD compliance will shape who shows up—and who stays competitive.
 
3) GAIL PMC tender hardwires design discipline and SOR-only pricing for gas delivery project
8GAIL’s new PMC package bakes governance into the scope, from HAZOP enforcement to time-boxed drawing approvals. A strict SOR-only price path and “no ITC” stance will reshape bid math and filter the field. Inspection travel being deemed-included forces leaner expediting and real execution chops.
 
4) Design-heavy HFHSD build at Naob Rambilli tightens quality gates with IIT vetting
8IOCL has rolled out a limited-panel, design-first tender for its HFHSD facility at Naob Rambilli. The contract hard-wires OISD/PNGRB/API-650 compliance and makes IIT vetting a payment trigger. Tighter jurisdictional and access controls could reshape bidder strategies and price discipline.
 
5) BPCL seeks legal due diligence and advisory partner via limited tender
8BPCL has launched a limited tender to onboard a legal due diligence and advisory consultant. The bid runs on the C1 India portal with a techno-commercial split and policy overlays. Key securities and liability anchors are not disclosed, keeping pricing strategy in flux.
 
6) Survey tender for 2nd SPM corridor leans on hazard atlas and RA discipline in HPCL Visakh refinery
8HPCL has pushed the onshore pipeline survey for its second SPM to GeM with a reverse-auction spine. The package hard-wires multi-hazard planning but leaves data/KPI specifics to inference. A PQC–GeM mismatch on MSME/Startup relaxations could reshape the bidder pool.

8A rare Class-I-only licensor hunt puts yield, content, and compliance on a collision course. BPCL wants ≥70% SAF and >99% availability while preserving refinery interfaces and emissions caps. The pre-bid calendar conflict could decide who actually competes.

8Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers has floated a two-packet tender for 2,500 MT of AA-grade Methanol
8Bidding closes on October 13, 2025, with reverse auction enabled
8Pre-bid meeting is scheduled for October 9 at RCF Thal, Raigad

8HPCL has called a pre-tender meet for a 540-km multiproduct pipeline laying corridor split into three parts with a 12+3 month delivery clock. Draft BQC raises the bar on executed length, turnover and working capital while mandating third-party verification of credentials. A cap of two parts per bidder could redraw teaming strategies and price tension.
