Under the Hammer

8BPA adds Rs 5 to Rs 165/kg in Mumbai, extending its fortnightly recovery, while acetone steadies at Rs 133/kg and acetic acid recovers Rs 1.25 in Hazira. After a month of declines, the solvents-and-intermediates basket is showing its first signs of a base.

8The Rs 18-to-Rs 30/kg rebound is the sharpest single move in the bulletin, though prices remain below the one-year high of Rs 38. (Editor's note: the write-up's fortnightly and monthly comparisons contradict the weekly surge and need fixing before publication.)

8POM sits at its high of Rs 242/kg after a Rs 82 six-month climb, PU is steady at Rs 258/kg, and PA6 holds Rs 85 above year-ago levels. Quiet, low-volatility strength while commodity chemicals correct around them.

8The accelerator extends its streak to Rs 430/kg, closing in on the Rs 452 high, while PBR gives back Rs 37 on the month to Rs 278/kg. The rubber chemicals complex is splitting into clear winners and faders.

8LAB is down Rs 28 on the month to Rs 300/kg, acrylonitrile has shed Rs 64 to Rs 218/kg and 2-Ethylhexanol Rs 39 to Rs 195/kg, with plasticizers DIBP and DOTP sliding in tandem. The three-month gains remain huge — this is a correction, not a collapse.

8The 680 KTA LHC3 unit returns after a year-long economic idling, just as spot ethylene slides €72.50 to €974.50/mt on weak derivative demand. The restart tests whether Europe's recovering supply has any demand to meet.

8A storage-tank temperature spike triggered the Tuesday-night blast in Unit 9, heard in nearby villages, with fire systems containing the damage. The repeat incident puts the API maker's process safety squarely under the scanner.

8Coromandel's FY26 revenue surged 31% to Rs 31,480 crore but Q4 PAT collapsed 80% on NACL acquisition costs; PI's revenue fell 16% yet it held a 22% EBITDA margin with a 90-molecule pipeline. Two different races, two different winners.

8Vaneet Kumar, ex-SVP & CTO–Battery at Adani New Industries with SVOLT and Great Wall stints, comes in as executive director. A dedicated battery vertical chief is the clearest marker yet of where the carbon black major wants its specialty-chemistry play to go.

8The June 8 order sets aside both the NCLT and NCLAT rulings in the Monet Securities matter and refers the entire dispute to a court-appointed arbitrator. A decisive procedural reset for the BOPP films major.

8PAN-OX spreads lifted Q4 profit to Rs 6.2 crore, but covenant breaches in FY26 (since waived) and stretched coverage keep the rating at BBB+ (Negative). The US project's ramp-up and refinancing plans are now the make-or-break monitorables.

8The DLO is now with SEBI: Rs 299 a share in cash for 26% of the pharma maker, unconditional and with no minimum acceptance. The Surat specialty chemicals firm's boldest diversification move is formally in motion.

8Phase II at Harihar adds two 55K TPA lines by 2028 and 2030, taking total Lyocell capacity to nearly 210K TPA, among the world's largest. Kumar Mangalam Birla frames it as investing ahead of the curve in India's textile competitiveness.

8The Commerce Department says the duty suspension on 40 petrochemical products, brought in after the Iran war squeezed supplies, may run past its deadline. The final call rests on the geopolitical situation — a decision every importer and domestic producer is now waiting on.

8The missile strike on Karoon's chlorine units, stacked on Sadara's indefinite shutdown, erases over 90% of the region's MDI/TDI capacity in one stroke. With BASF, Covestro and Huntsman already hiking and force majeure spreading, the polyurethane chain has entered a full price-hiking window.
