Domestic MDC Price in Dahej

Indian MDC prices jumped ₹4.50/kg in a week, supported by surging methanol feedstock costs after U.S. sanctions on Iranian-origin imports. Supply in the West is tight, while the South operates at full capacity. Despite weak downstream demand, prices are likely to remain bullish due to persistent feedstock shortages and sanctions risk.

Week-on-week, methanol prices have risen by ₹6/kg—triggered primarily by escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. On June 14, 2025, Iran’s South Pars gas field in Kangan (Bushehr province) was reportedly struck by an Israeli drone. The attack has severely disrupted Iranian methanol shipments and raised alarms across global petrochemical markets.

MDC prices have increased, with manufacturers raising offers despite weak demand. Domestic supply is abundant due to increased production capacity from TGV SRAAC and the new entry of Sreyas. However, demand from the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) sector remains low. The market is expected to remain volatile, with price stability dependent on manufacturer coordination and inventory management.

Methylene dichloride (MDC) prices in India have decreased by ₹3/kg this week due to sluggish demand from the API sector and higher inventory levels. Price reductions have been noted across various regions, with authorized dealers offering lower prices in southern India. Increased production capacity from TGV SRAAC and Sreyas has contributed to the price decline. Price volatility is expected in the near term.

MDC prices have dropped by ₹2/kg due to weak demand, cheaper imports, and rising inventories. Domestic manufacturers face competition intensified by Sreyas Industries' re-entry, while feedstock cost pressures limit price flexibility.

Curcumin prices surged 8–9% this week on supply disruptions from heavy monsoons and firm demand from pharma and nutraceuticals. Regulatory shifts, including the U.S. crackdown on artificial dyes, are driving global adoption of Curcumin E100. With tight feedstock availability and bullish fundamentals, buyers are advised to secure inventories early.

Indian Acetic Acid prices remain stable despite downstream price adjustments and feedstock concerns. Methanol supply risks from U.S. sanctions on Iranian exporters could tighten availability and push costs higher. Post-monsoon demand from VAM and pharma segments may support prices, making this a good window for strategic inventory building.

Acetic Acid prices increased marginally despite global softness, driven by a weak rupee and aggressive procurement from key Indian buyers. Domestic supply remains ample, but pharma sector demand is subdued. Seasonal uptick from other sectors and ADD impact on Acetonitrile may offer short-term support. Market outlook remains volatile.

Acetone prices declined ₹2/kg this week due to weak downstream demand and rising imports. Domestic supply remains stable, but the pharma and coatings sectors saw reduced offtake. Global feedstock trends and OPEC’s crude output hike added bearish pressure. Market sentiment remains weak, with buyers advised to limit inventory.
