PP Granules Price Per Kg: A 2026 Buyer's Guide
Ask five suppliers for a PP granules quote and you'll likely get five different numbers — sometimes for the same grade. That's not inconsistency; it reflects how many variables actually sit behind a single "price per kg" figure: feedstock cost, grade, colour, order size, and whether the material is virgin or recycled.
This guide walks through where PP granule prices in India stand today, why the rate moves the way it does, and how to read a supplier's quote so you're comparing like with like rather than chasing the lowest number on a listing page.
What Do PP Granules Cost Per Kg Right Now?
Prices vary by grade and feedstock source, but here's roughly where the Indian market sits going into H2 2026, based on current supplier listings and industry pricing trackers.
| Grade Type | Typical Price (₹/kg) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Reprocessed / recycled PP | ₹48 – ₹75 | Widest range; depends on scrap source and colour sorting |
| Natural / milky compounded PP | ₹70 – ₹95 | Blend of virgin and reprocessed feedstock |
| Colored / custom PP granules | ₹80 – ₹105 | Price reflects masterbatch and colour-matching cost |
| Virgin PP homopolymer | ₹90 – ₹120 | Tracks import-parity pricing from primary producers |
| Filled / engineering grade (glass, talc) | ₹100 – ₹150+ | Higher filler content and specific mechanical specs |
These are indicative street-level ranges, not fixed rate cards — actual quotes move with order size, delivery location, and current feedstock cost. For a fuller breakdown of what sits inside a supplier's quote, see our companion piece on PP granules price in India, and if you're a smaller buyer, our guide to PP granules MOQ for small manufacturers covers how order size itself changes the per-kg rate.
What Actually Drives the Price Per Kg
PP is a petrochemical derivative before it's a moulding material, so its price is tied to a longer chain than most buyers expect.
Crude Oil & Propylene
Polypropylene is polymerised from propylene monomer, which is cracked from naphtha derived from crude oil. When crude oil moves, propylene costs follow within weeks, and PP prices follow propylene with a further one-to-two month lag on contract pricing.
Import Parity & Domestic Supply
Indian PP pricing is benchmarked against import-parity levels set by large domestic producers. Plant shutdowns, maintenance turnarounds, or a spike in import cargo can shift local rates even without a change in crude prices.
Virgin vs Recycled Feedstock
Virgin resin is priced off the petrochemical chain described above. Recycled PP is priced off scrap availability and processing cost instead, which is why the two streams don't always move in the same direction at the same time. See our comparison of virgin vs recycled PP granules.
Grade, Colour & Testing
A custom colour match or a specific Melt Flow Index (MFI) spec adds a production and QC step that a standard natural or black grade doesn't need — and that step is reflected in the per-kg rate.
Why Rates Have Been Choppier This Year
Polypropylene prices in India moved unusually sharply through the first half of 2026 — sliding to the ₹85–95/kg range on weak demand mid-cycle, then climbing back toward ₹100–120/kg as feedstock costs firmed up after supply disruptions affecting crude, naphtha, and propylene. If a quote feels different from what you paid last quarter, it's usually this cycle, not the supplier.
What's Actually Inside a Per-Kg Quote
Two suppliers quoting the same headline price per kg can still land you at very different total costs. It helps to unbundle what's priced in versus what gets added later.
- Base resin / feedstock cost (virgin or recycled)
- Colour masterbatch or additive package, if custom
- Batch testing — MFI, ash content, tensile strength
- Packaging: standard 25 kg bags vs bulk loose loading
- Freight from the manufacturing location to your unit
- Payment terms — advance vs credit can shift the effective rate
A quote that looks a few rupees cheaper per kg can end up costing more once freight and testing reliability are factored in — especially if it means switching suppliers frequently. Our guide on how to check PP granule quality lists what documentation to ask for before comparing two quotes head-to-head.
Getting a Fair Price Without Cutting Corners
Where you should focus depends on how price-sensitive vs spec-sensitive your production is.
Prioritise Lowest Cost Per Kg When
Your application isn't structurally critical and consistent colour or MFI isn't a strict requirement.
Prioritise Spec Consistency When
A few rupees per kg matters less than batch-to-batch reliability for your process.
Applications Where Price Per Kg Drives Sourcing Decisions
These are the segments where buyers typically watch the per-kg rate most closely, since raw material is a large share of finished product cost.
Household & crate moulding
Woven sacks & raffia tape
Pipe fittings & conduits
Automotive interior components
Packaging caps & closures
Furniture & storage crates
Transparent Per-Kg Pricing, Backed by Batch Testing
Evonpolymers is based in the Bawana Industrial Area, Delhi, and prices every grade against current feedstock cost rather than holding a stale rate card. Whatever the order size, each batch goes through in-house testing for Melt Flow Index, ash and moisture content, tensile and impact strength, and colour matching, so the price per kg you pay reflects a documented, consistent specification.
The full product range — Colored, Black, Milky, Natural, Filler, PPCP, and BOPP granules — is quoted transparently by grade, and the toll recycling program can further lower your effective cost per kg if you already generate plastic scrap in-house.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1 What is the average price of PP granules per kg in India?
As of 2026, prices broadly range from around ₹48/kg for recycled grades to ₹120/kg or more for virgin homopolymer and filled engineering compounds, with most standard commercial-grade material falling between ₹70–₹105/kg depending on colour and specification.
Q2 Why did PP granule prices rise in 2026?
Prices firmed up after crude oil and feedstock costs increased following supply disruptions earlier in the year, which pushed up propylene and naphtha costs across the petrochemical chain that PP is derived from. Contract prices typically lag these feedstock moves by a few weeks to a couple of months.
Q3 Is recycled PP always cheaper than virgin PP?
Usually, yes, since recycled PP is priced off scrap availability and processing cost rather than the crude-oil-linked virgin resin chain. The gap can narrow during periods of tight scrap supply or high export demand for recycled granules.
Q4 Does order quantity change the price per kg?
Yes. Suppliers typically use tiered pricing, where smaller orders carry a higher per-kg rate to cover fixed testing, packaging, and logistics costs, while larger or recurring orders unlock better rates. Our guide on PP granules MOQ for small manufacturers covers this in detail.
Q5 How can I verify a supplier's quoted price is fair?
Compare it against the grade's typical range rather than the lowest listing you can find, ask what's included (testing, packaging, freight), and request a batch test report. A price that's significantly below market for a given grade is usually a signal to check the material's actual specification before ordering.
