Haryana Forest Department has granted new licences for plywood, veneer, block board and door making units and released 1680 new licences last month. Issuing of new licences for plywood industries has opened the blocked path to start new plywood units in the region after one and half decade. The Forest department has issued the list of successful applicants and selected new licensees have to deposit their licence fee for formal issuance of final licence.
In a survey done by the government in September 2016, it was observed that wood supply was 10 percent higher than the last year. The Haryana Poplar Safeda Growers Sangharsh Samiti had been struggling since long to convince the government for taking measures to prevent the falling prices of plantation wood. The prices of poplar have come down by 200 percent during last two years thus forcing farmers to uproot poplar plants and stop plantation.
