RIL Increases Polymer Prices in India Effective June 1, 2026

Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), a major player in the Indian polymer market, has announced significant price increases for its products, effective June 1, 2026. The company will raise the price of polypropylene (PP) by INR 3,000 per metric ton, which is approximately $36 per metric ton. Additionally, the prices for high-density polyethylene (HDPE), linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) will see an increase of INR 1,000 per metric ton, roughly translating to $12 per metric ton.

This move by RIL reflects an adjustment in the domestic market pricing for these polymers, which are essential raw materials in various industries, including packaging, automotive, and consumer goods. The price revision is expected to impact the cost structure for businesses relying on these materials, potentially influencing downstream market prices and consumer costs.

RIL's decision to increase prices comes amidst a dynamic global market environment, where fluctuations in demand and supply, along with other economic factors, play a crucial role in shaping pricing strategies. Stakeholders in the polymer industry will need to adapt to these changes and assess their procurement strategies accordingly.
