Kerala based Sawmill Ownwer’s and Plywood Manufacturers Association has announced the suspension of Plywood manufacturing operations from 1st September to 8th September in pursuance of the Onam festival.
As per the company notifications, any order placed after 1st Sept will be billed in the new rates.
Earlier this month, the association implemented a price adjustment of Rs.1.00 per Sqft. on 13-08-2025, to address escalating input and operational costs.
FIPPI points out that about 92% of the wood used comes from “Trees Outside Forests” (ToF) or agroforestry, benefiting over 1 million farmers.
