Ennore LNG bid deadline extension
IndianOil is expected to extend the bid deadline for its tender to set up regasification facilities at the proposed 5m t/y Ennore LNG terminal in Tamil Nadu.
One likely participant speculates that the present bid deadline of July 7 will be extended as IOC has yet to reply to contractor queries. “We've raised a second lot of queries,” he says.
“But we haven’t received a response and expect IOC to push back the deadline.” All shortlisted bidders are likely to submit bids.
On May 22 IndianOil issued a fresh tender to 11 companies who sent in EoIs on March 14: Toyo; Tecnimont with Spain's Cobra; Linde India with Germany's Linde AG; Technip KT (India) with Technip France; CTCI with Cinda Corporation; Saipem with L&T; Spain’s Sener with AFCONS; Germany’s TGE with Turkey's Fernas; Black & Veatch with KazStroyService; Japan’s MHI with Tata Projects; and India’s Fluor Daniel with US-based Fluor. Ennore is scheduled for commissioning in 2016.
