Platts to change the frequency of India recycled HDPE spot price assessment

Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, will amend the frequency of its recycled high-density blow molding, black color, ex-works India assessments from weekly to daily, effective Nov. 26, 2026. The change was first proposed in a subscriber note Oct. 2, available here.

The change will better align the coverage of the Indian R-HDPE market with the frequency of R-HDPE assessments in other regions.

The change will impact the following price assessments:

Under the proposal, the existing weekly symbols (HBMCI04 and HBMCU04) will become daily, and a new weekly average symbol will be launched and published on Wednesdays.

Pricing information with terms, locations, and specifications different from the above standard may be considered for assessment purposes, subject to normalization.

These assessments appear on S&P Global Energy Core and in Polymerscan, Sustainable Polymerscan, and on Platts Petrochemical Alert fixed pages PCA 0441, PCA 0574, and PCA3021.
