Platts to launch new India domestic toluene ex-tank assessment December 7, 2026

Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, will start publishing a new India domestic ex-tank toluene daily spot price assessment from Dec. 7.

Platts first proposed publishing the new assessment in a subscriber note published Oct. 14: Platts proposes to launch new India domestic toluene ex-tank assessment Dec. 7, 2026 | S&P Global

The assessment will capture price movements in India's expanding domestic toluene spot market, where Platts has observed increasing spot liquidity and evolving standardization. The assessment will also complement Platts' existing CFR India toluene assessment.

The assessment will reflect bids, offers, and trades on 70 days open credit basis, and reflect toluene with a minimum purity of 99.5% and a maximum benzene content of 0.10 ppm. Platts will take into consideration price information sourced from the market up to the close of the assessment process at 4:30 pm Singapore time (0830 GMT) for the new ex-tank toluene assessment. The assessment will follow the Platts India publishing calendar.
