Duroply's own online storefront listed Duro Plus 18mm at about ₹109 per sq ft and its top Titanium grade (IS 710) at about ₹202 per sq ft for 16mm in October 2026, with Pumaply as its weather-proof IS 710 line and Tower as the economy sheet. Most Duro lifetime guarantees cover insect attack, not every defect.

Wimco Ltd, founded in 1923 as the Western India Match Company, is known for safety matches, and in October 2026 we found no current plywood product or price list sold under the Wimco name. If you have a "Wimco" quote, check the maker and CM/L licence on the sheet and compare it with verified budget MR plywood.

Sylvan publishes no prices; October 2026 dealer listings sit around ₹123-129 per sq ft.

Bloom Dekor's website, checked in October 2026, lists designer laminated doors, frames and architraves rather than sheet plywood, and we found no current Bloom plywood price list. If a dealer offers "Bloom" plywood, check the maker and CM/L licence on the sheet, then compare it with the verified grades and prices below.

Austin publishes no board prices, so compare dealer quotes per sq ft by grade and thickness.
