The biggest benefit wood panel industry has witnessed in last 30 days is ‘Traders have come to terms to charge taxes extra from customers’ which is the desperately awaited change GST has brought in. In just 30 days, people are heard saying, GST means ‘Work with bill, Work in books, Work with cheques and Work with timely Paymasters’.
T
he biggest change GST has brought in to Wood panel Trade is ‘everyone has learnt to pass on the tax to next level’ theoretically. The change in mindset is phenomenal and it is acting as a cleansing agent in itself. The biggest benefit wood panel industry has witnessed in last 30 days is ‘Traders have come to terms to charge taxes extra from customers’ which is the desperately awaited change GST has brought in. In just 30 days, people are heard saying, GST means ‘Work with bill, Work in books, Work with cheques and Work with timely Paymasters’. The Gyan of organized working seems to have penetrated ‘Jugaadu minds’ when they realized two simple truths: 1. Business ought to be GST way or no way 2. Why to manipulate when buyer is paying tax? The magic of ‘Input’ has changed the whole system. As an avid traveler & researcher, I love to conduct primary research myself whenever I get a chance. I firmly believe that fear for GST will be a forgotten thing in 2018. Trade will simply talk about ‘Product quality, Price and Service’. With more pressure for performance, wood panel industry shall evolve and new businesses will reborn to cross 500 crore. Come September and markets will ask for dispatches which will help in bringing confidence back to entrepreneurs. While reading this, you must be feeling an agreement to this sentence because genuine buyers are not going to defer their purchases for long. My interaction during surveys among retailers, traders, designers, builders, fabricators and contractors, there is an absolute clarity that India’s market is big enough to accommodate each & every producer if he is ready to adopt speedy modifications, enhance efficiency and quality with win-win and sincere relationship with the dealers. The organized working in plywood trade will bring more small manufacturers selling directly to retailers who have been routed through many chains until now. “I see this as the most opportune time for mid-size brands to spread wide, invest in quality manufacturing and ensure service and satisfaction to retail points.” Regarding GST slab, Plywood Industry representations has led to GST committee’s consideration on reducing slab from 28 to 18%. The possibility of slab change to lower grade has increased and a favorable decision to bring it under 18% is expected after 9th September meeting. Whether slab remains 28, or reduce to 18, I can promise, that formula of a successful Indian business in building material segment is to be active, positive and relevant all the time. With care for earnings for the intermediaries, a manufacturer cannot fail. Big companies shall gain and but relevance of every manufacturers will always remain if he offers right quality at right price. Upgrade and Spread Your Markets, Happy reading every page of your sincere knowledge bank – The Ply Reporter!

Doors will open new avenue for wooD panel sector
apni baat
Rajiv Parashar, Editor
22
In GST regime, Doors will be the most worthy wood panel products if producers invest on infrastructure, quality, product promotion and awareness drive. Off late, witnessing the potential some companies such as Century Ply has tied up with a Chinese company for making high quality doors, Greenlam and Greenply have invested in doors sector, Space Wood has signed an agreement with Japanese Company, etc. The changing market condition reveals a fact that the doors’ continuous demand can be capitalized in future.
I
ndia’s real estate sector is witnessing slow growth due to less housing demand since last 2-3 years. It has also affected the entire building material and wood panel products segment. But it is evident that the Doors demand has witnessed robust growth in this period. It is a fact that doors market is not dependent only on big projects but also has a wide acceptance in rural markets. Apart from this, huge quantity of doors is being consumed in renovation and replacement purpose that is also unaffected from the slowdown in housing sector. Awakening the role of architects, interior designers, builders and users, new variety of door offerings are also driving its demand. UP, MP, Bihar, Odisha, Jharkhand, Chhatisgarh, WB, North East states, AP, Maharashtra etc consume huge quantity of flush doors but there is hardly any dedicated distributors/dealers for this product although it attracts decent profit margin. Laminate door skin is also driving the Flush Doors sector growth but it is needed to improve quality for further growth. The Ply Reporter has started a survey on India’s Doors demand and its potential markets. The feedback indicates that Doors are not much promoted as individual brand entity except from few, such as Kalpataru, Century Doors, Mikasa Doors, Timex Doors, Dormak, Corbett, Geeta, Elegent, E-doors, Minimax etc. Some others organized and mid segment companies are also producing approx 400 to 500 doors per day but they don’t have separate marketing vertical. In Northern India approximately 25 ply-board factories are making 250 to 300 doors per day and another 50 units are producing 100 to 150 doors per day. But 95% of door producers are not serious about their infrastructure which keep this category fragmented and unorganized. Non-standardization is said to be the biggest hurdle for door sector to grow exponentially. In GST regime, Doors will be the most worthy wood panel products, if producers invest on infrastructure, quality, product promotion and awareness drives. Off late, witnessing the potential some companies such as Century Ply has tied up with a Chinese company for making high quality doors, Greenlam and Greenply have invested huge in doors sector, Space Wood has signed an agreement with Japanese Company, etc. The changing market condition reveals a fact that the doors’ continuous demand can be capitalized in future. In this issue, there is a cover story on ‘30 Days after GST!’ with a complete analysis of GST impact on wood panel trade after a month. The issue has One 2 One interaction with Mr. Keshav Bhajanka, Director, Century Ply, who is very much optimistic about the organized sector growth in GST regime. A talk with Mr. T K Salim, MD of Greenland Particle Board based in Kerala is worth reading for Particle Board Industry and trade People. Besides, lots of industry and trade related news, AIPMA meeting and many more happenings have been given. Write us and assure your presence in The Ply Reporter’s coming up Doors Special Issue!

NEWS WATCH
fter a month of ‘No checking points’ and ‘No vigilance squad’ on road, the strictness by state governments is being tightened. After numerous reports and complaints of dispatches that are ‘unreported in books’ or ‘undervalued’ the State Governments are taking strict measures to stop the practice. After various reports about ‘unreported and undervalued’ plywood and boards being dispatched from Haryana, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh, the checking squads have begun their strict checking on roads since 5th August.
26
According to latest inputs received from Haryana, the teams from ‘Excise & Taxation’ have started checking documents of each truck that is being dispatched from Yamuna Nagar. As per sources, a dozen of Lorries have been held by the ‘checking squad’ on charges of ‘undervalue’ on the exit highways of Yamunanagar in Haryana. There are reports of more ‘checking squads’ are being deployed who will check and siege the material which will be caught for not carrying genuine required documents and adequate valuation. There is lot of panic among those manufacturers who were trying to take advantage of ‘checking free roads’. “The checking squad for genuine compliance and under value material is expected to be tightened in coming days in Punjab and Uttar Pradesh as well,” sources say. According to AIPMA president Mr Devender Chawla, “until E-way bill is implemented, the need of checking squad is a necessity to bring level playing field for each manufacturer and trader.” He added that according to information, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh are also taking measures to stop such dispatches. The plywood manufacturing cluster in Perambavoor, Kerala, are under strict vigilance since last month and state tax authorities have already applied heavy penalties to factories that have not been according to GST compliance. Even after 35 days of GST rill out the plywood industry and trade is struggling to come to terms of high GST slab of 28%. Since announcement of 28 % slab on plywood & other wood panels, the mood of plywood industry and trade is subdued and protests are continued at different places with appeal to reduce the GST from 28% to lower slab. After 28% slab, wood panels have become costlier by 8-10 percent varying from brand to brand.

30 days
after Gst!
Even after 30 days under GST rule, Wood Panel trade is struggling to overcome on the doubts and issues related to GST compliance, input claims, need of capital and price impacts. The product price dynamics is changing but no big impact on market changes are visible yet. Few products have become costlier and few have turned economical causing negations and new terms between buyers and suppliers. GST law has changed the way Indian businesses were operating in last 30 days and the impacts are visible in mindset of people. cover story
Distributors and dealers are avoiding purchases and maintaining low stocks, hence as a result the material demand in markets for Plywood, Laminates, PB, MDF, ACP or Doors has fallen by 50 percent. “One nation One tax” concept is being appreciated widely but has certainly caused huge disruption in plywood industry and trade that will require 6 months to 9 months time for being settled down. It is just 30 days and changes have begun to occur. After a market tour during July 12th to July 27th by the team of Ply reporter the impact is narrated below:

In short span of 30 days after July 1st, the entire wood panel industry has strengthened its belief on positive side of GST. A large fraction of the wood panel business sphere is keeping strong hopes on reduction of slab in coming weeks which has been preventing the full blow effect on demands.

The one press MSME units are highly stressed and panicking. The pressure is also generated by negative talks questioning the existence of MSME or 1 press ply units in GST era. These small factories are so badly hit that neither they are able to approach their customers with 28 % tax nor customers are able to align with them on new terms all of sudden. The dispatches from single press units have reduced by 60 percent and pressure of compliance and billing formalities has created an uncertain road for them. In 30 days of tenure, the MSME units are trying to find clue for survival and price mechanism.
SMALL SCALE DOOR MAKING UNITS: There are 2500 organized, unorganized, medium, small, micro door manufacturers in India. Eighty percent of the Door units are small and majority of those, with whom The Ply Reporter’s team met were in a dwindle whether to enroll in GST or go for composition scheme. The small sized door producers whose factories are in less than 2000 sq. yard area are hit due to demand or payments but not worried. In a nutshell these door manufacturers, making 25-50 doors per day, are temporarily hit but see no much impact on their business as usual.
TWO PRESS UNITS: The cost of taxes and their compliance is not adding up to the current price for two press units as well but the painstaking is lesser. Their situation with respect to books and capital reserves is volatile but certainly not blank as in case of majority of SSI’s. They are in a fix that how to

peaking on the matter of bringing down GST slab from 28% to 18% the chief guest Mr Vijay Sampla, Minister of State of Social Welfare & Justice, Govt of India said, “GST is for the benefit of you all, whether it is at 28% or 18%. To protect domestic industry there is a plan to increase import duty. For GST there is provision of review, as it has not been fixed forever, it can be changed. During review if the GST Council observes that revenue collection is higher, the tax rate will automatically come down. In VAT there was 80 lakh registered tax payers and after GST till 31 July, 2017 it has reached to 1 crore 20 lakh and there is a target to achieve up to 3 crore till December 2017.” Speaking further he said, “Many of us think traders having 20 lakh turn over are free from GST, but I believe that they should also get registered. It will ultimately help them in terms of input credit and they will be benefited by offering cost effective material. In this way the revenue
