PVC Resin Price Update India: RIL, Producer & CFR Rates

A PVC resin price update matters to pipe manufacturers, cable compounders and flexible-packaging converters because even a small revision in the suspension-resin rate moves raw-material cost directly. This briefing sets out how PVC resin is priced in India, the grades and benchmarks that buyers track, the upstream and import forces that drive the number, and a practical way to read the trend before your next purchase order. For the current day’s assessed prices, see the live PVC report on Chemicals Updates.

PVC resin price update: what PVC resin costs in India
K67, K65 and K57 — the price band
Indian PVC is quoted mainly as suspension-grade resin, referenced by K-value. K67 (K-value ~66–68) is the workhorse grade for pipes, profiles and cables and is the most-quoted benchmark; K57–K58 is used for injection moulding and some film applications; K65 typically trades within the suspension band by reference to K67 rather than as a separate index. As an indicative guide only (not a live assessment), domestic suspension-resin prices in recent periods have run broadly in the range of INR 75–100 per kg ex-tank / ex-godown, equivalent to roughly USD 800–1,050 per tonne on a CFR India basis, varying with grade, origin brand, order size, payment terms and location. Branded and compounded grades sit at the top of that band.
Producer list price vs Mumbai drum / ex-port rate
Three price levels are worth separating: the producer list (circular) price from domestic makers, the ex-port / CFR landed price for imported cargoes at Mundra, Nhava Sheva (JNPT) and Chennai, and the Mumbai / Bhiwandi ex-godown drum price at which most small and mid-size converters actually buy. Mundra usually serves as the west-coast base reference; Bhiwandi, the main distribution hub for the Mumbai region, carries a modest premium for inland freight and handling; Chennai tracks close to Mundra but can move either side depending on which origin brand has local stock.
