Reliance vendor registration for project and construction suppliers starts at scm.ril.com, Reliance Industries’ eProcurement site, whose New Supplier button now redirects to the SupplierFirst Reliance Supplier Portal. You sign up there with an email, your name and a mobile number, then log in to complete onboarding. As read on 11 November 2026, Reliance publishes no fee, no approval time and no current document checklist for this route. Its KG D6 gas block buys through Expressions of Interest sent by email. Most small machine owners reach Reliance sites through its EPC contractors, such as Afcons and Vascon at Jamnagar, and Reliance’s code requires its prior consent before its work is subcontracted. Jio and Retail suppliers register separately.

Picture a 23-tonne pick-and-carry crane waiting at a contractor’s gate outside the Jamnagar refinery while a supervisor checks one thing: whose work order is this machine on? That question decides most Reliance work for a small owner. A Reliance vendor code helps, but the hire order usually comes from a contractor already inside.

Where Reliance vendor registration actually happens

The Suppliers page on ril.com is the supplier entry point in the company’s sitemap. It links four tools and a list of E&P notices. We opened each on 11 November 2026.

The scm.ril.com login page asks one branching question: “Are you registering for RPMG-Project Procurement or Engineering Materials?” A 2016 Reliance help file for that branch is titled “Reliance Project Procurement (Hydrocarbon) – Materials”. So the project side is real, but it is built for firms supplying materials and engineering to Reliance’s own projects.

Reliance vendor registration process, step by step

The front end changed recently. When we tested the New Supplier link on scm.ril.com, the server sent us straight to supplierfirst.ril.com/user/signup. The sign-up there runs like this:

  1. Enter your email ID and pass the captcha.
  2. Verify the email. The portal then says “Kindly register here.”
  3. Give a title, first name, last name and mobile number.
  4. The portal confirms the registration and tells you to enter the same email on the login screen “to start your Onboarding”.

The onboarding screens sit behind that login, so we could not read them. Reliance’s two help documents, still hosted on scm.ril.com, show what the older form asked. The 2020 guide lists category, nature of business, name and address, Indian regulatory details, a Draft PIN to save your work, contact person, company profile, document uploads and a declaration. It ends: “post approval you will be informed by mail.” The 2016 project-materials guide adds PF, ESI and MSMED details, major clients, financial statements and key bankers. Both predate GST and SupplierFirst, so expect the screens to differ.

Once you hold a vendor code, a 2022 Reliance guideline routes bank details through SupplierFirst too. You print a bank letter on your letterhead, have it signed and verified by your bank, and upload it with a cancelled cheque. Reliance says e-payment mapping then takes 2 to 3 working days.

Papers Reliance asks contractors for

No current checklist is published for SupplierFirst. Two Reliance documents come closest. An older scm.ril.com guideline page asks an Indian services supplier for PAN proof, address proof, service tax registration proof and EPF proof. Service tax ended when GST arrived in 2017, so read that list as dated.

The more useful list is in Reliance’s own KG D6 notice, RIL/E&P/EOI/2025/04, for “General Construction services” covering civil area preparation, piling, foundations, structural erection and material handling. It asks contractors in that category to submit:

  • similar contracts from the last ten years, with client certificates and contract values
  • equipment and resources you directly own, with key staff and an organisation chart
  • a company profile and audited accounts, including balance sheets, for five years
  • present work commitments
  • HSE and quality systems with a three-year track record
  • registration with the labour department, the EPF office and GST, and proof you file income tax regularly

Five years of audited accounts rules out most one-machine owners from a direct EOI. A firm with three or four cranes and clean books can still prepare the same file for an EPC contractor’s pre-qualification.

How KG D6 and E&P work is bought

Reliance runs the KG D6 deep-water block off the east coast with its partner bp, and gas comes ashore to an onshore terminal. Work there is invited through dated notices on the Suppliers page. The October 2025 notice listed 18 categories, among them general construction services and two plant-modification packages that include civil and piling works. Replies were due by email by 7 November 2025. The August 2026 notice was offshore work only, with a 4 September 2026 deadline. Check the Suppliers page each month if east coast work suits your fleet.

Reaching Jamnagar work through EPC contractors

Jamnagar is where the volume is. Reliance’s refinery there processes 1.4 million barrels a day, and its New Energy pages describe a Dhirubhai Ambani Green Energy Giga Complex of over 5,000 acres beside it. Much of the civil work goes to listed contractors, who disclose large orders to the stock exchanges:

  • Afcons Infrastructure, 2 July 2025: a Letter of Commitment from Reliance for civil and structural erection work at Jamnagar, about Rs 175 crore excluding GST, paid on actual quantities.
  • Vascon Engineers, 18 May 2026: a Letter of Intent worth Rs 131.58 crore excluding GST for four G+12 buildings at the RG Expansion project, Jamnagar, to finish in 19 months.
  • Tara Chand InfraLogistic Solutions lists an order to deploy 125 machines at the Jamnagar refinery among its milestones, and keeps a branch office there.

These firms hire cranes, excavators and labour gangs locally. Getting onto their vendor lists is often faster than a direct Reliance code. The steps for the largest EPC players are set out in L&T vendor registration and Tata Projects vendor registration, and Adani’s two-step Ariba route is covered in Adani vendor registration.

One clause in the Reliance Business Partner Code of Conduct matters here. Partners must “take Reliance’s prior consent in case any of the work of Reliance needs subcontracting or outsourcing.” Your contractor carries that duty. A machine that turns up unannounced may never get past security.

Machines a Reliance project site hires

Reliance publishes no hire list, so read the work. Refinery and plant packages need pick-and-carry cranes for pipe racks, structural steel and equipment, such as the Escorts F23, a 23-tonne machine with a 20.1 m boom height. Piling for new units suits the ACE FP 210 Piling, a 20-tonne pick-and-carry crane built to lower cages, place concrete and pull casings. Area preparation and foundations call for a 20-tonne excavator like the Hyundai R210 Smart Plus (21,200 kg, 140 HP, 6.05 m digging depth). Specs are as listed in November 2026.

Plant sites expect fitness, insurance and operator papers for every machine, and a clean safety record. Compare more pick-and-carry and mobile crane models before you commit a fleet to a Jamnagar contract.

Spotting fake Reliance vendor offers

Reliance’s fraud alert says the group only uses email IDs ending in @ril.com. Mail from look-alike domains, and any request for a “registration fee”, should stop you. The code bars partners from giving Reliance staff money or anything of value, and it lets Reliance end a contract over a breach.

Ask this at the site procurement office

Before you spend weeks on a SupplierFirst profile, put one question to the procurement in-charge at the Reliance site office or at the EPC contractor holding the package: “Will this job be ordered by Reliance directly or by your contractor, and has Reliance’s subcontracting consent been arranged for my machines?” The answer tells you whose vendor list to join first. While you wait, track live tenders and site work opportunities that need the cranes and excavators you already own.

Portals, notices and supplier terms change — confirm current requirements with Reliance’s procurement team, the EPC contractor or the official source on ril.com before you register or sign a hire order.
