Carbon Black in Delhi pulled back this week, but the market continues to hold most of the gains built during the recent advance. The latest reading sits below last week’s top, yet it remains near the upper end of the monthly range and well above the levels seen in mid-March and mid-January. Carbon Black N220 from Philips in Delhi was assessed at Rs 183/kg on April 15, down Rs 7/kg from Rs 190/kg on April 8. Even with that correction, Indian Carbon Black prices remain in a strong near-term position.

The broader trend still points higher. The latest value is Rs 33/kg above Rs 150/kg on April 1, Rs 48/kg above Rs 135/kg on March 16, and Rs 81/kg above Rs 102/kg on January 15. Against the six-month marker, the gain is Rs 97/kg above Rs 86/kg on October 17, while the year-on-year increase stands at Rs 83/kg over Rs 100/kg on April 15, 2025. Over the past month, prices traded between Rs 135/kg and Rs 190/kg, with the high reached during April 7-11 before the market corrected. Support is visible near Rs 175/kg and resistance remains around Rs 190/kg. Indian Carbon Black prices are therefore still positioned close to recent highs, while Carbon Black prices in India continue to show a firmer structure than earlier in the year even after the latest weekly decline,Carbon Black, Price Eases, Firm Prices, Elevated Levels, Market Update, Commodity Market.Read the full verified update on IndianPetrochem.com.

Palm wax finished slightly higher on the week, but the bigger signal was how contained trading stayed. The latest assessment is Rs 110/kg, up Rs 2/kg from last week, and the fortnight view shows the same Rs 2/kg improvement from Rs 108/kg. Indian Palm Wax prices are therefore holding near the recent high around Rs 110/kg rather than breaking out sharply.

In the month comparison, palm wax is only Rs 1/kg higher versus Rs 109/kg, showing that the week’s lift built on an already narrow month. The three-month anchor is Rs 118/kg and the six-month reference Rs 120/kg, keeping the medium-term picture softer than late-2025 levels. Over the last 30 days, the market’s recent low was near Rs 108/kg and the recent high around Rs 110/kg, with moves small and stable. Year-on-year, the marker remains well below Rs 144/kg, underlining the broader downshift even as the week looks firm. Palm Wax prices in India are currently pinned close to the upper end of the past month’s activity, and Indian Palm Wax prices remain a practical benchmark for routine coverage decisions, Palm wax prices, Palm wax market, firm prices, limited movement, oleochemicals trends.
