8GHCL Limited reported FY26 revenue of Rs 3,144 crore with EBITDA of Rs 768.5 crore and PAT of Rs 478.8 crore, while commissioning a 2,800-tonne integrated bromine plant and a vacuum salt plant in FY26-27 — a counter-cyclical expansion in a market facing overcapacity.

8Best Agrolife reported FY26 consolidated revenue of Rs 1,257 crore, down 31% year-on-year, with PAT collapsing to Rs 9 crore from Rs 70 crore; Cyhalothrin, a key insecticide active ingredient in its branded portfolio, has slipped this week and is down materially over the past month.

8GFCL EV Products Ltd has invested approximately Rs 1,900-2,000 crore to date across LiPF6 salt, LFP cathode active material, and PVDF binders, guiding Rs 2,300 crore more in FY27 as Phase-1 capacity transitions from capital burn to commercial revenue.

8UFlex commissioned its Noida recycling facility in early FY27, adding 36,000 MTPA of post-consumer recycled PET chip production and 3,600 MTPA of mixed-laminate-plastic recycling capacity at a total investment of Rs 317 crore.

8Butyl Cellosolve in Kandla has surged sharply this week and over the past month, reaching near its recent high in current trading (specific levels withheld), driven by disrupted ethylene oxide and n-butanol feedstock logistics.

8Butyl Acrylate Monomer in Kandla has fallen sharply this week from a level seen just a fortnight ago, continuing a downward trend over the past month (specific levels withheld), providing a near-term input-cost tailwind for emulsion polymer producers.

8Gujarat Fluorochemicals commenced commercial production of R-32 refrigerant in March 2026, ramping from 10,000 tonnes toward 20,000 tonnes with all capacity contracted, while liquid chlorine prices in Mumbai have surged sharply this week from a recent trough (specific levels withheld).

8The temporary 10% US tariff on global chemical and plastics imports is set to expire on 24 July 2026, but potential replacement by Section 301 measures could impose longer-duration, product-specific duties that permanently alter the US chemical import cost structure.

8The European Commission has finalised definitive anti-dumping duties on adipic acid imported from China at rates of 29.1% to 42.3%, converting provisional measures into longer-term enforcement across the nylon 66 and polyurethane value chains.
