8And only agile players will make the grade out of India 

8SAN slipped Rs 1/kg this week but remains close to where it stood a month ago. Price behaviour has been quiet, and the grade is broadly aligned with its six-month average.

8PC added Rs 3/kg over the past fortnight and is now higher than its level three months ago. Gains have come through gradually, with the product firming in small increments.

8PET is unchanged this week and sits slightly below its level from a month ago. The grade is broadly aligned with its three-month average, showing limited movement despite intermittent day-to-day fluctuations

8Hydrochloric Acid tanker-load prices in Mumbai are down roughly Rs 1/kg from early November after a sequence of small weekly declines. Even with this easing, the product remains about Rs 2/kg above mid-year levels and around Rs 1.5/kg higher than a year ago.

8Acetonitrile in Mumbai has slipped about Rs 10/kg this week, giving back the late-November spike. Even after this retreat, prices remain roughly Rs 5/kg above quarter- and year-ago levels in the domestic market.

8Melamine in the Ahmedabad domestic market has eased by about Rs 5/kg compared with early November, with the latest close near the lower end of recent prints. Over six months the product is roughly Rs 2/kg softer and stands around Rs 14/kg below last year’s level.

8Trimethylolpropane (TMP) imported into Ahmedabad has been unchanged over the last fortnight after inching up about Rs 3/kg from early November. The product remains slightly below year-ago levels, leaving India prices in a broadly sideways pattern on a longer view.

8Formic Acid imported into Mumbai has held flat this week, matching its levels from the past fortnight and month. The contract is now about Rs 5/kg lower than around the same time last year, with only modest differences versus mid-year benchmarks.

8Trioctyl Trimellitate (TOTM) in Mumbai has fallen roughly Rs 46/kg over the past three months, with declines visible at almost every checkpoint. The drop is even more pronounced on a six-month and year-on-year snapshot, underscoring a persistent softening in India prices.

8Dioctyl Adipate (DOA) in Ahmedabad has added about Rs 3/kg over the past month, with most of that uptick coming through late November. The contract is still trading well below mid-year and last year’s values, even as it leans towards the upper end of the recent domestic range.

8Triethylene Glycol (TEG) in the Ahmedabad domestic market was unchanged on the week, with rupee movements effectively flat versus late November. Over a six-month horizon the contract is still about Rs 23/kg higher, and roughly Rs 34/kg above levels seen around the same time last year.

8Refrigerant R22 has jumped Rs 30/kg this week and stands about Rs 45/kg higher than a month ago. The latest move represents a clear shift from the quieter pattern seen earlier in the season.

8Polyurethane Resin for Sole is broadly flat against three months ago, even though it is about Rs 9/kg lower on a month view. The recent easing leaves prices parked near the softer part of this year’s curve.

8PTMEG has gained about Rs 3/kg over the past fortnight. Weekly movements remain modest, pointing to a slow, sideways tone rather than an aggressive shift in domestic positioning.

8Polymeric MDI MR200 is trading roughly Rs 13/kg below last year’s level. Domestic prices have been easing back from the stronger numbers seen earlier in 2025

8SAP is now about Rs 46/kg lower than six months ago, yet week-on-week and fortnight changes have been negligible. Domestic prices are clustering in a narrow corridor after the earlier slide.

8Dry Pulp has risen about Rs 9/kg over the past month, maintaining a firm run of gains. The latest print keeps the upward sequence intact for buyers tracking domestic spot values.

8ECH prices in the Mumbai domestic market have climbed Rs 30/kg over the past three months. This week’s move keeps the product close to the stronger end of its recent trading range.

8NBA held steady this week but is down Rs 6/kg from last month. Current levels remain well below the high seen earlier in the period.

8NPAC was flat this week but is up slightly over the past three months. The product also shows mild improvement from its six-month position
