"Bid submission closing date for OALP Bid Round X (has been) extended till May 29, 2026," DGH said on its website. While it did not give any reason for the extension, industry sources said this may have been done to give potential investors time to study the new liberalised rules framed following passage of the Oilfields (Regulation and Development) Amendment Bill.
