Caustic soda declines on subdued demand

Caustic soda prices were trading down by Rs 50 per 50 kg at the wholesale chemical market in the national capital today owing to fall in demand from consuming industries against increased arrivals from producing regions.

Caustic soda flake fell by Rs 50 to Rs 2,100-2,200 per 50 kg.

Traders said muted demand from consuming industries against increased arrivals from producing belts mainly pulled down caustic soda prices.
