Chemicals Name Current Price Previous Price Changes Location Date Action

Prices updated:

Chemical opening ports prices are the spot rates at which imported liquid chemicals trade at Indian ports, quoted ex-tank on an Ex-Kandla, Ex-Hazira, Ex-Mumbai (JNPT), Ex-Mundra and Ex-Vizag basis. Chemicals Updates tracks these prices every trading day for solvents, aromatics, glycols, acids and monomers, showing the location, current and previous price and the day-on-day change.

How these prices are quoted

Opening ports prices are quoted in INR per kg, ex-tank at the port of discharge, and generally exclude GST and onward inland freight. They track CFR India import offers, ocean and tanker freight, customs duty, the rupee-dollar rate and how quickly downstream buyers clear material at each port.

What moves these prices

Crude oil and feedstock costs; CFR India offers from the Middle East, China, South Korea and Southeast Asia; tanker and container freight; the rupee; port congestion and tank inventory at Kandla, Hazira and Mundra; and turnarounds or outages at Asian producers.

Frequently asked questions

What is the chemical price at Kandla port today?

Chemicals Updates publishes daily Ex-Kandla spot prices for the main imported solvents and monomers. The snapshot above shows the latest tracked rates; the full list and history are in the daily report.

Which Indian ports do these chemical prices cover?

Kandla and Mundra in Gujarat, Hazira near Surat, Nhava Sheva (JNPT) and Mumbai on the west coast, and Visakhapatnam on the east coast. Kandla and Hazira carry the deepest solvent coverage.

Are opening ports prices inclusive of GST?

No. Opening ports prices are quoted ex-tank at the port and generally exclude GST and further inland freight, though they do include customs duty already paid on the cleared cargo.

How often are Indian port chemical prices updated?

Every trading day, from importer and trade sources at Kandla, Hazira, Mumbai (JNPT), Mundra and Vizag.

What is the difference between opening ports price and CFR India price?

CFR India is the landed cost of a cargo before customs and handling. The opening ports (ex-tank) price is what buyers pay for parcels lifted from the port tank after clearance and duty.

Why do chemical prices differ from one Indian port to another?

Freight and parcel size to each port, which origin cargoes last discharged there, local tank availability, and demand from the industrial clusters each port serves all pull the ex-tank price apart.

Which chemicals are tracked at Indian ports?

Solvents such as acetone, MEK, IPA, ethyl acetate and MIBK; aromatics such as toluene, mixed xylene and benzene; glycols such as MEG and DEG; plus acetic acid, phenol, styrene and other monomers.

How is the landed cost at an Indian port built up?

CFR India price, plus basic customs duty and applicable cess, port and terminal handling, surveyor and clearing charges, and storage. The ex-tank opening ports price reflects that all-in cost plus the importer margin.
