I wanted Finolex - 6 coils of 4sqmm , 10 coils of 2 sq mm and 12 cables of 1 sq mm and i called a local shop in Ecity and he quoted a total price of 42000 without tax and after discount.
Later using justdial i called a few dealers in chikpet and surprisingly they quoted 37% discount with 14.5%tax which came to 32000 which made me worried.I later found from my electrician that dhandapani (Kumar - 22211286)is the best and the price came to 47,500.
I was told that 70% market is full of duplicates and the prices confirm this fact.
finolex vs havells for wiring
Re: finolex vs havells for wiring
Hi,
I wired with a different brand of electric wires than the traditional finolex, though my electrician was preferring finolex/havell. It is KEI. My friend is in electrical business and he said that most of the companies where he installs and builds are now using wires from KEI. I checked KEI website and also found that they seem to have a good clientele and decided to go ahead with KEI instead of Finolex.
The advantage was, since my friend gets it from KEI godown in huge quantities, he gets it at a discounted price. And based on his reference, I got more than 5% discount than the best market price in chickpet where I enquired and got it delivered at my site. If some one in interested, please message me, I could give you his number. And since it is from godown directly, I assume that there is no chance of duplicates I hope.
Regards,
Asif khan R

Re: finolex vs havells for wiring
my neighbour did the same he purchased a local wire called polycab from a factory in rajajinagar.in any case its too late for me as i purchased all my cables from havells galaxy as i wanted to avoid buying duplicates from other companies.
Its still strange to me because even a authorized dealer gave me the cables without bill ...

Re: finolex vs havells for wiring
I got a PM in my email that some one wanted the number of the person who supplied me KEI. But when i logged in, i was not able to see the PM nor was able to send.
Anyways the number is 9980028430. Name is shabbir. However be aware that they will not take back the wires even if it is a complete coil unlike the local shops. So buy something which is around 5-10% lesser than what your electrician wants and then get the last ones from chickpet or local dealer.
