Indian Chloroform prices

Chloroform finished this week at Rs 28/kg, unchanged for a second straight weekly comparison and steady on a fortnight view as well. That flat short-term pattern is the key feature of the latest update, because the product is now holding the gains built earlier in the month rather than adding fresh increments. Indian Chloroform prices are therefore showing consolidation at elevated levels, a useful marker for buyers comparing current offers with February baselines.

The product stood at Rs 18/kg on 21 February, so the month trend still shows a rise of Rs 10/kg even though the latest week brought no change. Against the 24 December reference point of Rs 14/kg, the gain is Rs 14/kg, which confirms that the broader quarter view remains firm. The recent trading span also gives a clean range marker: the lower end was near Rs 14/kg and the latest assessment remains near the recent high around Rs 28/kg. Chloroform prices in India have therefore moved into a higher band and stayed there. On a year-on-year basis, Indian Chloroform prices are Rs 9/kg above the Rs 19/kg seen on 24 March 2025.

For market participants, this is a steady-market update rather than a breakout story. The product is no longer climbing week after week, but it is still sitting at the upper end of its recent trading history, Chloroform, Market Consolidation, Monthly Gains, Stable Trend, Chemical Market, Range Bound.
