C5 slips on the week while month stays stable
C5 has edged lower on the weekly check, but the broader month reference remains close to the latest print. The result is a measured market profile where short-cycle changes are modest and longer comparisons add context.
On 19 Feb 2026, C5 was assessed at Rs 121/kg, down Rs 2/kg from Rs 123/kg a week earlier. Two weeks ago, the marker was Rs 126/kg, leaving the fortnight comparison Rs 5/kg above the latest print. Indian C5 prices therefore show mild weekly softness with a clearer decline on the two-week line.
The month marker is Rs 120/kg, placing the latest level Rs 1/kg higher than a month ago. The three-month reference is Rs 121/kg, matching the latest assessment and indicating stability against the quarter anchor. Six months ago, the reference was Rs 128/kg, while the year-ago marker was Rs 135/kg, keeping the longer comparisons lower than current levels. Across the recent period, prices have traded between Rs 120/kg and Rs 126/kg, and the latest print sits close to the lower marker near Rs 120/kg rather than the recent high around Rs 126/kg.
C5 prices in India remain best monitored through the week-to-week movement against the stable month and quarter anchors.
