Indian BPA prices

BPA has held its ground this week in Ahmedabad, with no change from the previous week and a current domestic level of Rs 184.00/kg. The steady tone follows a strong run higher over recent weeks, indicating that the market is consolidating rather than weakening. Indian BPA prices have still gained Rs 10.00/kg over the past fortnight, which keeps the short-term structure firm despite the lack of fresh weekly upside.

Indian Acrylic Acid prices

Acrylic Acid posted one of the stronger weekly moves in the current domestic basket, rising to Rs 225/kg from Rs 195/kg over the past seven days. That weekly increase comes on top of a much broader climb from Rs 101/kg a month ago, keeping the product near the top of its recent trading pattern.

The fortnight comparison shows that the market was already firm at Rs 195/kg before this week’s rise took hold.

Indian Methanol prices

Methanol added another Rs 3/kg this week and ended at Rs 58/kg on March 20, continuing a steady climb through the domestic market. The latest weekly comparison from Rs 55/kg on March 13 shows fresh upside, but the movement remained controlled rather than disorderly. Indian Methanol prices are now holding at the top end of the available data, giving buyers a clear current benchmark even as the broader rise remains substantial.

The fortnight comparison stands Rs 13/kg higher than the March 6 level of Rs 45/kg, while the month view is up Rs 21/kg from Rs 37/kg on February 18. On a three-month basis, the product is Rs 19/kg above Rs 39/kg on December 20, and the six-month comparison is also Rs 19/kg above Rs 39/kg on September 20. The latest market is near the recent high around Rs 58/kg, while the wider one-year low sits near Rs 29.5/kg. Indian Methanol prices therefore remain close to the strongest point in the current series, and Methanol prices in India continue to show a wide premium over earlier quarter and half-year markers.

The one-year comparison is also higher by Rs 16/kg from Rs 42/kg on March 20, 2025. The rise has been persistent, but daily volatility has not widened in a disruptive way, which is useful for procurement desks tracking regular purchases.

Indian Isobutanol prices

Isobutanol extended its recent rise and then held steady into the latest close, leaving the domestic market at one of its strongest readings in the current run. Indian Isobutanol prices were assessed at Rs 125/kg on March 17, compared with Rs 120/kg a week earlier and Rs 81/kg a fortnight earlier. That combination points to a clear strengthening pattern, with the market adding gains over both the short and medium near-term view.

The broader comparison remains equally notable. Prices were at Rs 78/kg a month ago, at Rs 73.5/kg three months ago, and at Rs 75.85/kg six months ago. Against those anchors, the latest level is positioned near the recent high around Rs 125/kg. The lower end of recent one-month trading was near Rs 78/kg, which highlights the scale of the move without overstating volatility. Trading itself did not show repeated whipsaws; instead, values climbed in stages and then stabilised. Indian Isobutanol prices have therefore not only risen, but also managed to retain those gains without an immediate reversal. For procurement teams tracking timing and replacement costs, Isobutanol prices in India now present a materially different baseline from the one seen through February, Isobutanol, Isobutanol Market, Market Update, Price Strength, Chemical Market, Petrochemicals.

Indian Butyl Acetate prices

Butyl Acetate ended the latest week at Rs 127/kg, rising Rs 7/kg from March 10 and extending the stronger pattern built over the first half of March. The market has not only advanced week on week, but has also stayed close to its strongest recent level rather than moving back toward earlier baselines. For procurement teams, that keeps current replacement values well above where they stood a month earlier.

Indian Butyl Acetate prices are Rs 45/kg above March 3 and Rs 46.25/kg higher than February 14. The product is also Rs 51.25/kg above December 17 and Rs 51.5/kg higher than September 18, with the year-on-year comparison showing a gain of Rs 43.5/kg versus March 17, 2025. The recent high stands around Rs 127/kg and the lower end of the past month is near Rs 80.75/kg, so the latest structure remains strongly elevated on the month view. Butyl Acetate prices in India continue to show a market that has lifted into a higher range and then held there.

The current setup keeps Indian Butyl Acetate prices close to the top of recent trading, even though the latest weekly rise was more measured than the earlier jump. That leaves the market firm, stable, and clearly removed from the lower values recorded through February, Butyl Acetate, BAC Market, Market Update, Price Strength, Chemical Market, Petrochemicals.

Indian Hexane prices

The latest Hexane reading captures a market that moved up decisively and then stayed there into the close, reinforcing the strength of the current cycle. Indian Hexane prices were assessed at Rs 137/kg on March 17, up from Rs 120/kg a week earlier and Rs 80/kg a fortnight earlier. That places the product firmly above its recent baselines and shows that the market has continued to build on gains recorded earlier in March.

The wider backdrop remains equally strong. Prices stood at Rs 71.5/kg one month ago, the same Rs 71.5/kg three months ago, and Rs 70.5/kg six months ago. The latest close is therefore near the recent high around Rs 137/kg, while the lower end of one-month trading sat near Rs 71.5/kg. What stands out is not just the scale of the move but the way it unfolded. Trading expanded through distinct upward steps, and the market largely held those higher levels once they were established. Indian Hexane prices have thus reset to a significantly stronger base, rather than posting a single isolated spike. For procurement teams comparing historical reference points with current replacement values, Hexane prices in India remain markedly elevated versus every major comparison window in the file, Hexane, Hexane Market, Market Update, Price Strength, Chemical Market, Petrochemicals.
