MIBK holds firm after strong weekly lift
Methyl Isobutyl Ketone (MIBK) ended this week at Rs 122/kg, showing a weekly gain of Rs 30.5/kg and a fortnight rise of Rs 30.5/kg. Indian Methyl Isobutyl Ketone (MIBK) prices have therefore shifted into a firmer short-term zone, with current values holding close to the recent top of the latest trading stretch. That leaves spot buyers and contract trackers working with a materially stronger benchmark than the one seen in late February. The weekly move now carries enough size to affect routine replacement comparisons.
The month view adds to that picture, with prices up Rs 30/kg from roughly one month ago. Over three months, the increase stands at Rs 32/kg, while the six-month comparison shows a gain of Rs 27.5/kg. Methyl Isobutyl Ketone (MIBK) prices in India are now much closer to the recent high around Rs 125/kg than to the recent low near Rs 91.5/kg. Day-to-day movement became less compressed during the latest sessions, but the market still retained a readable structure for procurement review. That keeps current bids and offers easier to benchmark against the recent range for active buying desks.
On a year-on-year basis, the current number is Rs 2.5/kg below the comparable level last year. That broader anchor keeps the move in context while confirming that Indian Methyl Isobutyl Ketone (MIBK) prices are operating on a stronger weekly baseline going into the next buying cycle for the domestic market, MIBK, MIBK Market, Petrochemicals, Chemical Prices, Weekly Lift, Market Firm.
