8The price of Normal Propyl Acetate (NPAC) imported tankerload, a solvent widely used in coatings, inks, and adhesives, has experienced a slight decrease at Kandla Port TODAY. This price change reflects the current adjustments in market conditions and supply chain dynamics.
On August 21, 2024, the cost of NPAC imported tankerload at Kandla Port decreased by Re.1/kg, bringing the price down from Rs.96/kg to Rs.95/kg. Although the reduction is modest, it may offer some cost relief to manufacturers and traders who rely on NPAC for their production processes, potentially affecting their overall cost structure.

8The price of  Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) imported tankerload, a key chemical used in the production of acrylic plastics, coatings, and adhesives, has decreased at Kandla Port. This recent price drop is reflective of shifting market dynamics and supply conditions affecting the global chemical industry.
On August 21, 2021, the cost of MMA via imported tankerload at Kandla port has fallen by Rs.2/kg, reducing the price from Rs.200/kg to Rs.198/kg. This significant decrease could provide some cost savings for manufacturers and traders who depend on MMA for their production needs, potentially influencing their pricing and procurement strategies.

8After a prolonged period of stability, the price of oleic acid 75%, produced by Adani Wilmar, has seen a decrease in the Delhi market. On August 21, 2024, the rate of the commodity declined by Re.1/kg, moving down from Rs.138/kg to Rs.137/kg. This change marks a significant adjustment following the steady pricing trend observed over the past few days.
Oleic acid 75% is an essential product used across various industries, including cosmetics, food processing, and manufacturing. Adani Wilmar, a major supplier of this chemical, has maintained consistent quality, making it a preferred choice in the market. The recent price decrease to Rs. 137/kg could impact businesses that rely on this ingredient, potentially affecting their cost structures.

8In Delhi, PBR manufactured by Reliance Rubber Industries Limited, was quoted higher today. Over the past month, prices have varied significantly, with a recent uptick observed on August 21, 2024, in the Delhi market, where the price increased by Rs. 2/kg, from Rs.185/kg to Rs.187/kg.
The price changes are largely driven by the high demand for PBR 01, which is primarily used in tyre production, accounting for about 70% of its usage. The global demand for high-quality tires, especially in the expanding automotive sector of emerging markets, has contributed to the increased demand for PBR rubber. The Asia-Pacific region, with its strong automotive and industrial sectors, plays a crucial role in driving this demand.

8The Mumbai chemical market has witnessed a significant increase in the price of Dioctyl adipate (DOA), highlighting the market's responsiveness to changing supply and demand conditions. As of August 21, 2024, the price of DOA has risen to Rs.169 per kg, an increase of Rs.2 per kg from the last rate of Rs. 167 per kg recorded on August 17, 2024..
This price adjustment reflects the dynamic nature of the DOA market, influenced by factors such as raw material availability, production cost fluctuations, and shifts in industrial demand.
