PA6 keeps a firm tone after a strong month

PA6 held flat week on week at Rs 153/kg, but the month view remains decisively higher, keeping the latest print near the top of recent trade. The domestic assessment in Ahmedabad has been consistent enough to support clear benchmarking for purchase timing. Recent changes have been incremental rather than abrupt, which helps buyers compare quotes and manage replacement-cost checks.

Indian PA6 prices were unchanged from last week at Rs 153/kg on 18 Feb 2026. The fortnight comparison is up Rs 2/kg from Rs 151/kg, and the month view shows a Rs 10/kg rise from Rs 143/kg. Over three months, the assessment has increased from Rs 138/kg, with a recent high around Rs 153/kg and a recent low near Rs 133/kg. The six-month anchor remains higher at Rs 183/kg, and the year-on-year reference stands at Rs 202/kg, indicating the latest level is still below earlier peaks. For PA6 prices in India, the current positioning at the top end of the three-month corridor highlights a firmer near-term structure with controlled volatility. Trading has stayed orderly, and the distance from the three-month low offers a simple measure of the recent lift.

Indian PA6 prices are now being tracked closely against the recent high marker, which can guide internal approvals and tender comparisons.

PA6 remains flat as December volatility stays muted

PA6 ended December with a steady tone, as recent sessions showed minimal movement and a market environment defined by balance. Indian PA6 prices finished at Rs 145/kg on December 31, unchanged on both a weekly and fortnight basis, highlighting how trading through late December remained calm and measured.

Looking at the month as a whole, prices were flat from Rs 145/kg recorded on December 1, confirming that volatility stayed muted throughout the period. This stability, however, comes against a softer wider backdrop. Over three months, values have declined from Rs 164/kg seen in early October, while the six-month comparison places current levels below Rs 185/kg recorded in early July. These longer views show that the current range reflects adjustment from higher mid-year levels rather than consolidation at a peak. On a year-on-year basis, prices also sit below Rs 197/kg noted at the start of January 2025.

Support remains around Rs 140/kg, with resistance identified near Rs 168/kg, framing the current trading structure. Within this band, PA6 prices in India are being monitored for consistency rather than sharp moves.

PA6 market trades steadily within defined limits

PA6 prices in the domestic market have remained notably stable in recent sessions, following a modest rise earlier in the month. Indian PA6 prices were assessed at Rs 145/kg on Dec 24, unchanged on a weekly basis, signaling continued balance between buying and selling interest. Trading activity stayed measured, with only small daily fluctuations and no abrupt moves shaping sentiment.

From a monthly perspective, prices are Rs 4/kg higher than late November, while the two-week comparison remains flat versus mid-December. This reinforces the view that the market is consolidating rather than trending. Over the past month, values have rotated within a narrow Rs 141–145/kg band, making short-term support and resistance levels easy to track. Indian PA6 prices have therefore stayed close to the top end of this recent range.

Looking beyond the month, the broader trend remains softer. On a three-month view, prices are Rs 19/kg lower than late September, while the six-month comparison shows a Rs 40/kg decline from late June. Year-on-year figures show an even larger adjustment, with prices Rs 54/kg below the same time last year. Over the last quarter, the market peaked near Rs 168/kg, while recent lows were seen around Rs 140/kg. PA6 prices in India now sit well below that earlier peak, but remain stable in the near term, PA6, Polyamide 6, Nylon 6, Engineering Plastics, Polymer Market, Plastics Industry, Petrochemicals, Chemical Market, Commodity Plastics, Market Update.
