Last week, the company decreased prices of PTA, MELT but MEG was kept unchanged. The polyester value chain witnessed an upward trend due to a rise in crude oil.

According to market sources, RIL fixed PTA price at ₹80.70 per kg (+3.00), MEG at ₹54.10 per kg (unchanged) and MELT at ₹87.80 per kg (+2.58).
