Why Wood Prices Vary So Much
key factors| Factor | Impact on Price |
|---|---|
| Species & Origin | Burma Teak commands ₹5,000+/cft while Malaysian Teak costs ₹2,500–3,500/cft. Indian Sal is restricted under forest laws, creating premium pricing. |
| Grade & Moisture | KD (Kiln Dried) wood costs 15–25% more than air-dried. A-grade heartwood commands significant premium over mixed grain. |
| Distance from Sawmill | Transport adds ₹15–₹30 per cft per 100 km. Coastal cities and landlocked regions pay higher logistics costs. |
| Import Duty & Policy | Duty on Malaysian/Indonesian plywood affects local prices. Myanmar teak export restrictions caused 10-12% price spikes in 2023. |
| Seasonality | Monsoon months (June–September) reduce logging and transport activity, causing 10–15% price increases. |
| Dealer vs Retail | Bulk dealer rates can be 15–25% lower than single-piece retail. Branded plywood commands 40–60% premium over unbranded. |
