The Fate of Genuine Is 710 Grade Plywood Is Back - Rajiv Parashar, Editor, Ply Reporter


The Indian plywood Industry suddenly begin to love genuine PF after tightening by the Govt. to curb use of agriculture grade urea for making resins for commercial grade plywood manufacturing. Reports from different plywood manufacturing clusters show an impact of 10-12% on prices of commercial grade ply and hence cost of commercial/MR plywood has inched near BWR grade plywood.

Now market is reportedly getting lesser supply of Fake IS 710 grade as producers are not willing to offer MR material. If it persist, the prices of MR vs BWR grade ply in the present scenario is becoming near equal. This is forcing ply producers to increase the supply of its original IS 710 grade plywood or BWP grade plywood that can support 72 hour boiling test. As heard many ply producers have surrendered their IS 710 grade standard because they are dedicatedly manufacturing IS 303 grade but after the recent development, the companies have approached BIS to get IS 710 standard of BWP grade or looking for other options to offer guarantee or warranties, which qualifies the similar standard of Boiling Water Proof plywood.

एग्रीकल्चर यूरिया पर सख्ती से प्लाइवुड इंडस्ट्री थमी, रेजिन की लागत बढ़ने से कमर्शियल प्लाई होगी मंहगी

 


प्लाइवुड उद्योग में अचानक आए उथल-पुथल के चलते सीधे सीधे दिखाई दे रहा है कि पूरी इंडस्ट्री चाहे वह केरल, पंजाबे, राजस्थान, हरियाणा, गुजरात, यूपी, आंध्र प्रदेश, तेलंगाना, उत्तराखंड के हो, एसएमई और एमएसएमई सेक्टर के प्लाइवुड उद्योग एकाएक थम से गए हैं। विदित है कि पिछले एक हफ्ते के दौरान टेक्निकल ग्रेड यूरिया के सिलसिले में कई राज्यों की प्लाई व लेमिनेट फैक्ट्रियों पर छापेमारी की गई है। केंद्रीय जाँच दल जगह जगह इस अभियान को सख्त करने में लगी हुई है। उनका कहना है कि उद्योग जो भी यूरिया का उपयोग कर रहे हैं उसका ब्योरा दें, पिछले तीन साल का रिकार्ड दें और अपने प्रोडक्शन के डाटा के साथ उसको मैच करें।

ज्ञात है कि इंडस्ट्रियल यूज में यूरिया का उपयोग होता है, और भारत में यूरिया खाद के रूप में किसानों को सब्सिडाइज रेट पर दिया जाता है, जिसके चलते समय समय पर सरकार अलग-अलग तरीके से इसके उद्योग में इस्तेमाल के लिए रोकथाम करती रहती है। ऐसा माना जाता है कि किसानांे के सब्सिडाइज रेट की यूरिया का उपयोग इंडस्ट्री में ज्यादा होने लगती है तो यह यूरिया किसानांे को उस मात्रा में नहीं मिल पाता है।
