ABS prices in Mumbai were flat this week, signalling short-term stability after losses earlier in December. Indian ABS prices were assessed at Rs 140/kg on January 5, 2026, unchanged from the prior week. While weekly movement was absent, the broader context shows the market operating below levels seen at the start of the quarter, with trading activity remaining calm and predictable.

Recent comparisons underline the downward adjustment. Over the past fortnight, ABS slipped from Rs 145/kg on December 22 to Rs 140/kg, a decline of Rs 5/kg. The month-on-month view mirrors this move, with prices also Rs 5/kg lower than the Rs 145/kg recorded on December 6. Over the last 30 days, the trading band has been defined by highs near Rs 145/kg and lows around Rs 138/kg, indicating that volatility has remained limited even as benchmarks shifted lower. Indian ABS prices have therefore stabilised within a narrower, lower range.

Looking further back, the three-month reference point of Rs 150/kg on October 7 places current values Rs 10/kg lower. The six-month anchor at Rs 157/kg on July 9 shows a wider gap, with today’s assessment Rs 17/kg below mid-2025. Over a 90-day view, the range has held between roughly Rs 150/kg and Rs 138/kg, but the centre of trading has moved down. Within this framework, ABS prices in India are positioned near support around Rs 138/kg, with resistance seen near Rs 145/kg, ABS Market, ABS Prices, Polymer Market, Petrochemicals, Plastics Industry, Chemical Markets, Market Update, ABS India, Resins Market, Polymer News.

Domestic ABS values have shown a clear but controlled rebound, drawing attention from procurement and trading participants tracking short-term movements. Prices ended the week at Rs 145/kg, up Rs 5/kg from the previous week, confirming that the recent recovery phase is holding.

Weekly and fortnight trends indicate firming momentum, with Indian ABS prices gaining Rs 5/kg over the past two weeks. On a monthly basis, the increase stands at Rs 6/kg, signalling a gradual improvement following earlier declines. This recovery has brought prices closer to the upper end of the recent trading spectrum, though they remain below the three-month high near Rs 153/kg. On a three-month comparison, ABS is still Rs 8/kg lower, highlighting that the wider correction has not been fully offset.

Trading activity over the quarter has been characterised by moderate volatility.
