8BASF is lifting butyl acrylate prices by up to $100 per tonne in Asia Pacific, effective immediately, citing feedstock costs. The hike feeds straight into India's adhesives, coatings and construction-chemical chains.

8Styrene Acrylonitrile rose Rs 9 to Rs 225/kg in Mumbai, its highest in a year, with gains of Rs 71 over six months. A clear strength signal in the domestic polymer complex.

8Diethylene Glycol surged Rs 19.50 this week to Rs 105/kg in Hazira, up Rs 58.25 over three months and near its recent high of Rs 107. The standout mover in this week's domestic price set.

8The Centre's suspension of the 11% cotton import duty until October 30 has already corrected raw cotton by ~Rs 4,000/candy, easing input costs for Gujarat's spinning and export chain. A timely policy lever amid weak demand.

8Odisha is drawing major capital, led by Indian Oil's petrochemical-textile integration, Page Industries' Rs 750-crore Cuttack plant and EPIC's $100-million net-zero Trimetro campus. A structural shift in India's manufacturing map.

8New US tariffs of 10–12.5% on 60 economies exempt chemicals, polymers and rubber feedstock while keeping finished goods like tyres dutiable — a structure that pressures India's downstream exporters. A USTR hearing is set for July 7.

8Amneal Biopharma Synthesis has filed an EIA for a greenfield synthetic organic chemicals (API + R&D) plant at Kochariya, Bavla, with 1.2 MT/month capacity on a 24,304 sq m site. The Category “A” project will go to public hearing.

8Mumbai-listed Fineotex is expanding capacity by 150 million pounds annually at its Texas facility through its US subsidiary, to serve growing global specialty-chemicals demand. A notable outbound move by an Indian specialty player.

8Ddev Plastiks posted FY26 revenue of Rs 2,948 crore and PAT of Rs 202 crore, lifting capacity to 2,68,400 MTPA. Recent additions include a 15,000-MT PVC line plus HFFR, PVC and 48,000-MT XLPE capacity.

8The Kerala PSU's operating margin jumped to 6.6% in FY26 from 2.1% on firmer caustic soda prices and lower employee costs, prompting ICRA to reaffirm BB+/A4+ and raise the rated amount to Rs 83 crore. One of Kerala's largest chlor-alkali players.

8GFL's fluoropolymers (60%+ of revenue) ride semiconductor, EV and energy-storage demand with 15–20% volume-growth guidance, but the stock (CMP Rs 3,520 vs Rs 3,373 target) prices much of that in. Its LiPF6/PVDF/LFP battery platform stays loss-making and capex-heavy through FY28.

8Grasim's board has approved a Rs 3,094-crore capex to expand third-generation cellulosic staple fibre (Lyocell) capacity at Harihar, Karnataka. The move deepens the Aditya Birla group's bet on sustainable man-made fibre.

8Domestic natural rubber hit an all-time high of Rs 267/kg (Kottayam trades at Rs 269) as Bangkok cleared Rs 300 for the first time — a 58.78% six-month surge. ANRPC sees 2026 output up 2.2% to 15.32 MT against 15.60 MT consumption, locking in a deficit.

8With the Middle East supplying nearly 70% of global naphtha and Hormuz disrupted, Asian crackers — India's included — face a feedstock squeeze that has rippled into PVC and ethylene costs. ADNOC's switch to Oman's Sohar port has begun easing Asian naphtha prices.

8India's importers are holding off fresh PE/PP bookings ahead of the June 30 expiry of the duty waiver on 40 petrochemical products, with the rupee near 95.40/$ compounding the unease. LLDPE has eased to $1,250–1,330/t cfr while PP prices rose Rs 6/kg in June on tight domestic supply.
