Methanol (Methyl Alcohol) Supplier in India
Methanol (methyl alcohol, CH₃OH) is the simplest alcohol and one of the world’s most widely traded commodity chemicals — a colourless, volatile liquid used as a solvent and as a building-block feedstock across the chemical industry. In India, most industrial and high-purity methanol is imported, making a well-connected importer/supplier central to reliable procurement.
VSVK Group is a Kanpur-based importer, distributor and supplier of industrial chemicals, operating since 1982. Supported by 20,000 sq. ft. of warehousing and an own fleet of 15 tankers, VSVK is positioned for bulk methanol supply — from drums to tanker loads — with requirement-based coordination from enquiry to delivery. Grade and specifications are confirmed against each buyer’s requirement.
