SAP ended March 3 at Rs 450/kg, unchanged from last week, and the flat print keeps the short-term view steady. Indian Superabsorbent Polymer (SAP) prices have shown no change week on week, and the same stability extends across the fortnight and month comparisons, supporting consistent budgeting for near-term coverage.

The broader context remains defined by earlier gains. Compared with three months ago, the benchmark is higher by Rs 222/kg, and the six-month comparison is up Rs 166/kg. Year on year, the series is Rs 130/kg above last year’s level, keeping the longer frame firm even as the recent month stays static.

Within the last 30 days, the recent high and recent low both stand at Rs 450/kg, confirming that moves were effectively absent in the month window. Superabsorbent Polymer (SAP) prices in India are therefore locked at the month’s observed level, with minimal volatility for spot assessments. Indian Superabsorbent Polymer (SAP) prices have maintained the same marker across multiple short-term anchors, making it easier to reconcile supplier offers and landed-cost calculations,SAP, Super Absorbent Polymer, Benchmark Unchanged, Short Term Trend, Polymer Market, Petrochemicals, Price Stability.

Domestic Propionic Alcohol markets have shown mild softening over recent weeks, despite stability on the latest weekly assessment. The product closed this week at Rs 98/kg, unchanged from the previous week. However, compared with two weeks ago, prices are lower by Rs 2/kg, confirming a gentle downward drift. This indicates that Indian Propionic Alcohol prices have eased slightly after a period of steadiness.

The month view adds further context, as current levels sit below early-December prices, pointing to a clearer softening trend. Over a three-month horizon, the adjustment is more evident, with the domestic market gradually moving lower without sharp volatility. Trading behaviour has remained orderly, with measured changes replacing abrupt movements.

Range markers continue to frame near-term activity. Recent highs were recorded near Rs 101/kg, while the lower end of trading has emerged around Rs 97/kg. With current prices positioned closer to the lower boundary, market tone remains cautious. Support around Rs 97/kg and resistance near Rs 101/kg define the operating corridor, keeping Propionic Alcohol prices in India within a controlled and predictable structure for procurement planning, Propionic Alcohol, Alcohol Market, Chemical Prices, Price Decline, Short Term Trend, Solvent Industry, Petrochemical Market, Commodity Update, Market Analysis, Industry News.

SAN has moved through the latest assessment window with little visible change, maintaining a soft but stable profile. Prices for SAN (Imported, Natural, Ahmedabad) were assessed at Rs 140/kg on 23 December 2025, unchanged on the week and matching the previous fortnight’s level. Indian SAN prices have therefore remained steady, keeping short-term buying decisions straightforward despite the market sitting close to the lower end of its recent range.

The month comparison shows only slight firming, with SAN edging up from Rs 139/kg on 22 November. However, this incremental gain contrasts with the broader three-month trend, where prices have eased from Rs 148/kg recorded on 24 September. That longer comparison continues to shape a cautious tone even as the latest weekly prints appear stable. Over six months, the market remains higher than the Rs 132/kg level seen on 24 June, while the year-on-year comparison shows a notable decline from Rs 161/kg in December 2024.

Trading activity in the recent period has been contained within a relatively narrow band. Highs have been capped near Rs 148/kg, while lows have clustered around Rs 139/kg, limiting day-to-day volatility. Indian SAN prices therefore continue to reflect consolidation rather than recovery, with SAN prices in India anchored near established support at Rs 139/kg and resistance around Rs 148/kg, SAN, Stock Market, Market Update, Muted Movement, Short Term Trend, Market Stability, Stocks, Equity Market, Trading News, Market Watch.
