Reliance, India’s largest player in polyester value chain, has decreased prices of purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and MELT, but increased price of monoethylene glycol (MEG). It has reversed its decision on pricing from last week. RIL reviews global market, price trends in China and fluctuations in crude oil to determine prices of polyester raw materials. 

Indian market follows the price trend of Reliance as it is the dominating player in the country. According to market sources, RIL fixed PTA price at ₹79.90 per kg (-1.80), MEG at ₹53.20 per kg (+1.50) and MELT at ₹86.80 per kg (-1.04). New pricing of polyester raw materials will come into effect from Saturday. 

The company had cut the price of polyester staple fibre (PSF) by ₹3 per kg to ₹102 per kg. The lower price is effective for the current fortnight that began on November 16.
