National Plywood price: what we found (checked 15 October 2026)
Short answer: We could not find a current price list or retail listing for National Plywood in October 2026. National Plywood Industries Ltd is listed on BSE and describes itself as a maker of plywood, blockboard, flush doors, laminates and allied products, but the latest quarterly results shown on market data sites date from December 2019, and nationalplywood.com is a parked domain. Many regional sellers also use the word "National" in their brand names, so identify the manufacturer before you compare prices.
That does not mean every sheet sold as "National" is bad. It means you cannot rely on a brand name alone. The sheet itself tells you who made it and to what standard.
How to check a sheet sold as "National"
- Find the manufacturer's name and address printed on the sheet or its label. A brand with no traceable maker is a red flag.
- Read the ISI mark and CM/L licence number, then verify it in the BIS Care app (Verify Licence Details). The licence holder's name tells you who actually made the sheet. Our guide on checking the ISI mark walks through it.
- Match the standard to the grade: IS 303 for MR, BWR and BWP, IS 710 for marine. A "marine" sheet without IS 710 on it is not marine grade.
- Insist on a GST invoice naming the brand, grade and thickness.
What a fair price looks like in 2026
Whatever the label, a sheet should be priced for its grade and thickness. These were typical 2026 ranges for 18-19mm sheets:
| Grade, 18-19mm | Local or unbranded (₹/sq ft) | Branded (₹/sq ft) |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial or MR | 45-80 | about 85-130 |
| BWR | 45-85 | 95-160 |
| BWP or marine | 78-113 | 120-175 |
If a "National" quote sits at branded prices, ask what you are paying for: a long written warranty, a published licence and an authorised dealer are what justify the premium. See plywood price per sq ft and how to identify fake plywood.

What moved plywood prices in 2026
Resin chemicals drove most of the change this year. Phenol and formaldehyde, the raw materials for BWR and BWP glue, rose sharply in March and April 2026, and the large brands passed it on: CenturyPly raised plywood prices by about 7% in April and Greenply by about 4-5%. MDF makers announced increases of around 15% from April, but most of those were rolled back by August. GST on plywood stays at 18%, unchanged by the September 2025 rate changes.
