RIL Adjusts Polyethylene Prices in India
Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) has announced an adjustment in its polyethylene (PE) pricing structure in the Indian market. Effective August 13, 2026, the company has increased the prices of LDPE Extrusion Coating by ₹3 per kilogram. This change comes while prices for other polyethylene grades, including HDPE, LLDPE, and other LDPE variants, remain stable.
This price revision marks a targeted approach by RIL, focusing specifically on the extrusion coating segment of LDPE, which is crucial for packaging and other industrial applications. The decision to maintain stable prices for other PE grades suggests a strategic move to balance market demand and supply dynamics.
RIL's decision comes amidst a broader context of polymer price adjustments in the region, with other companies also revising their prices in response to market conditions. However, RIL's selective price increase indicates a nuanced strategy aimed at optimizing its product portfolio in the competitive Indian market.
