Nifty Chemicals: 29,194.70 (+478.10, +1.66%) | Prev close 28,716.60 | Catalyst: Brent crude below $90 reduces feedstock costs for chemical manufacturers. Key constituents: Pidilite, SRF, Deepak Nitrite, Tata Chemicals, Aarti Industries. Lag effect: RM cost improvement flows through in 4-8 weeks.<\/em><\/p>\n

India’s chemical sector index advanced 1.66% to 29,194.70 on June 12, 2026, as the fall in Brent crude oil below $90 per barrel triggered buying in chemical sector stocks on expectations of improving raw material margins. Crude oil and its derivatives , including benzene, toluene, naphtha, ethylene, and VAM , are the primary feedstocks for a significant portion of the sector constituents. When crude falls, the input cost of these petrochemical derivatives typically follows with a 4-8 week lag, translating into EBITDA margin expansion of 100-300 basis points for specialty and performance chemical companies. The index is also benefiting from the broader market’s risk-on environment (Nifty +1.22%), which is lifting all sectors.<\/p>\n
