8The conductors, cables and specialty-oils maker will seek an enabling shareholder mandate on July 30 for a raise via QIP, rights or preferential issue — with capex, acquisitions and debt prepayment all on the menu.

8The Cuddalore fluorochemicals maker priced 7,41,082 shares at Rs 2,341 apiece to its promoter and three investors, days after closing a QIP — and is heading to the NSE. Sun Pharma group's Alrox, Action group's Vivek Jain and Niveshaay's Tatvam Trade take the balance.

8Emergency services were called to the Haldia complex on June 30 after a significant fire in process infrastructure. Several of the injured are reported to be in serious condition; no cause has been confirmed.

8The Finance Ministry has quietly extended the full customs-duty exemption on 40 imported petrochemical categories, from toluene to TDI, MDI and polyether polyols. Chinese cargoes are racing the deadline — and the domestic solvent and polyurethane chain is already feeling it.

8That makes New Era one of the most ambitious private-sector awardees in India’s coal gasification pipeline.
8But then there are many questions are it

8Adani’s Rs 37,900-crore “Green PVC” complex at Mundra that runs on the coal-to-carbide chemistry has some startling facts

8Strange goings-on behind India's Swadeshi gasification drive

8The scope covers maintenance, pre-commissioning, commissioning and stabilisation. That makes it a live-plant revival risk package, not just a manpower deployment job. The deeper story is how much operational readiness GMPL has pushed onto the contractor.

8SBR technology tender has been extended. The package is not a routine supply job but a licensor-selection gate for a 190 KTPA elastomer unit inside BPCL’s planned Andhra Pradesh refinery-cum-petrochemical complex. The real pressure point is the narrow qualification filter around proven e-SBR and s-SBR technology.

8The tender asks for more than document management. It wants real-time project monitoring across engineering, procurement, construction, quality, safety and logistics. That makes the digital vendor part of the project execution nervous system.

8While the broader board retreats, DEG monobutyl ether has surged to the top of its twelve-month range, more than doubling from its January base. The glycol-ethers chain is running its own bull market.

8A sharp fall this week caps a month in which maleic anhydride has shed nearly a quarter of its value, unwinding a violent three-month round trip. The UPR and food-acid chains get relief; recent importers get pain.

8Methyl ethyl ketone has surrendered a huge slice of its value in four weeks, even as its only domestic producer absorbs a ratings downgrade. The ketone complex is where the unwind is most violent.

8A double-digit fortnightly fall and a still-steeper monthly collapse have taken methanol close to the lower end of its recent trading. The C1 chain is the cleanest read on the ceasefire unwind.

8The Gurugram agrochemicals major will launch its home-grown molecule in India shortly, with the US and Latin America named as priority follow-on markets pending registrations. It is a milestone for Indian discovery chemistry beyond generics.

8Hindustan Organic Chemicals told the BSE it has commenced reopening of its phenol and hydrogen peroxide plants from 5 July, ending a shutdown flagged in early June. The restart lands with phenol soft and peroxide firming - the price mechanics are inside.

8Cetex Petrochemicals, the country's sole manufacturer of MEK and secondary butyl alcohol, has been downgraded a notch by CARE as a large debt-funded capex looms and control passes to Samko Holdings. The action lands in the same fortnight MEK prices cratered.
