The best-selling plywood companies make up the majority of the plywood market in India in the organized sector, which also has an equally large informal sector, with many manufacturers producing and selling locally made plywood brands.
The price-points of local
brands are very low compared to the price of plywood sheets manufactured by big
companies, however, the quality is likely to have been compromised at very low
price-points.
From a customer's point of
view, it is very difficult to know the quality of any plywood sheet by looking
at it. So for those who want to ensure quality, the best plywood brands will
have a formal ISI logo that is a symbol of trust for quality. IS specification
numbers are also printed on the boards just above the ISI mark.
E.g. IS: 710 is Marine Plywood
and IS: 303 is MR and BWR grade plywood.
