A free daily Bhav feed — China nowcast, landed cost to the dollar, policy risk. And when the deal is real, Mol Assured runs it intake to settlement: verified counterparties, locked quotes, protected payment.
The free wedge
From China spot to Mundra gate — with honest uncertainty built in.
Daily SG-5/K-67 in CNY/MT and USD/MT. Walk-forward model, monthly refit, 5-day horizon.
CFR Mundra flagship lane. Full duty waterfall — freight, BCD, SWS, IGST — broken out to the dollar at indicative FX.
DGTR findings and CBIC notification status tracked separately. Duty range $22–$284/MT.
English, Hindi or Hinglish. Every answer comes from a logged engine call — the model narrates, never computes.
The name is the thesis
मोल — the bazaar word for price, the thing this market haggles over in the dark. mol — the SI unit of quantity: universal, exact, agreed by everyone.
Chemistry settled how much. Trade never settled how much it costs. Mol is the unit that finally settles the price — and a benchmark doesn’t take sides, the way a unit doesn’t take sides.
Designed for the full breadth of the chemical trade — the taxonomy carries every HSN line from commodity polymers to specialty chemistry from day zero, with go-live sequenced. PVC is the proven nucleus, not the boundary.

Mol Assured
Not a marketplace — you bring the counterparty you already trade with. Mol runs the deal through a governed spine where every step is a gate and every action is an audited record.
01 Intake → 02 Benchmark → 03 Verify KYC → 04 Quote lock (Pakka) → 05 Assurance → 06 Countersign → 07 Payment → 08 Documents → 09 Dispatch → 10 e-POD → 11 Quality → 12 Settle
Record · Quality · Cargo · Credit · Full. The buyer picks how much safety to buy; a partner gap downgrades the tier — a deal never freezes. Quote-lock assurance, not a market guarantee.
Quality disputes hold the disputed amount with a first response inside four hours. Delivery shortfalls hold payment automatically. Every claim has an owner, a clock, and an escalation path.
Upstream identity stays hidden unless the trader consents. The data firewall is enforced in the database and every sensitive access is logged — who, what, when, why.
Every cleared deal sharpens Buyer and Supplier Scores and feeds the Mol Index— a benchmark built from cleared trades, published only past hard liquidity thresholds. Below them: a range or “insufficient data”, never an invented point price.
Methodology
Walk-forward backtesting prevents data leakage. The model version, data version, and as-of date are always visible. When confidence is low, we say so.
Leakage-gated features
Every feature is latency-gated. The model never sees tomorrow's data when predicting today.
Baseline comparison published
GBM vs. last-price, futures-only, and moving-average baselines. No cherry-picked metrics.
Shock-week performance disclosed
Policy-shock weeks are labeled separately. MAE reported both ways — you see where the model struggles.

The landed cost breakdown is the first calculation my team trusts without double-checking in a spreadsheet. The ADD/CVD distinction — DGTR recommendation vs. CBIC notification — is something we hadn't been tracking correctly until Mol surfaced it.

Every price tool I've used gives you a number with no context. Mol shows the confidence score, the FX assumption, whether the duty is actually in force. That transparency is unusual and genuinely useful when you're taking a position.

We used Mol's ADD/CVD timeline to decide on pre-duty inventory build. Having the exact DGTR finding date and pending CBIC status in one place — rather than tracking it manually — saved us a meaningful amount in landed cost.
