8It tests whether refinery execution can be run from a control tower.

8The delay trail sits beside dense clarifications on laboratory systems, civil design, HVAC vendors, statutory approvals and liability caps. The bigger story is whether EIL has widened competition or merely bought time for a narrow contractor pool.

8Cr3’s low bid resets refinery turnaround pricing.
8Can it carry HPCL’s shutdown risk?

8Find out why do we say so

8The extension looks less like administrative housekeeping and more like a signal from the bidder side. A limited tender, no formal pre-qualification criteria, and reverse auction together create a peculiar procurement design for a sensitive acquisition-advisory mandate.

8This award fixes the process-licensor layer before later engineering and procurement packages take shape. The real question is how much of the refinery’s aromatics economics will now be dictated by the selected technology package.

8Sumitomo reorganises its semiconductor-materials division to capture growth - a marker of where Asian chemical majors are steering capital, and a cue for India's fab ambitions and its own producers.

8Evonik's Shanghai centre will test next-gen DURAION membranes for green hydrogen - a marker of where the electrolyser supply chain is heading as India scales its National Green Hydrogen Mission.

8The off-highway tyre major appoints Saroj Kumar Khuntia as CFO on Madhusudan Bajaj's superannuation - an orderly handover at a bellwether Indian tyre exporter navigating input-cost volatility

8ECH eased to Rs 227/kg but holds a Rs 37 three-month gain, underpinned by epoxy-resin demand tied to India's infrastructure and renewable-energy build-out.

8Melamine fell to Rs 130/kg, retracing a Rs 38 monthly drop from its Rs 168 peak - genuine cost relief for laminate and adhesive makers as supply normalises.

8The bioenergy-engineering leader names a 31-year finance-and-operations veteran as Joint MD & CFO for five years - leadership continuity at the heart of India's ethanol and biofuels build-out.

8A 360 ONE report sees stabilisation after a long downturn - agrochemicals emerging, commodity chemicals firming on Middle East supply disruption, specialty driven by semiconductors and energy storage. CY26 is a transition year.

8Polybutadiene Rubber rose to Rs 256 and Carbon Black climbed to Rs 174, up Rs 39 in three months - compounding the tyre chain's input squeeze alongside record natural rubber

8Monoethylene Glycol has recovered nearly 60% from its quarter low of Rs 56 to Rs 88, even after a small weekly dip - a sharp repricing in the workhorse feedstock for India's textile and PET chains.

8ICRA lifted the PVC films maker to A-, confirmed by the company, while promoter D L Millar added another 2.01 lakh shares - credit validation and insider conviction moving in the same direction.

8Normal Butyl Acetate surged Rs 66/kg over three months to Rs 159, just shy of its Rs 161 yearly high - one of the sharpest repricings in the domestic solvent complex, and a cost signal for the coatings chain.
