Prakash P. Chhabria, executive chairman, Finolex Industries, said, After a long upward trajectory, the global PVC prices have started to cool down and slightly flatten. Coupled to this, the quarter witnessed demand slowdown of PVC pipes due to weather disruptions. The demand is expected to improve with the season opening up and easing of supply chain bottlenecks.
