Hyderabad price guide
HDHMR Board Price in Hyderabad
₹15 – ₹151/sq.ft across 3 priced products from 2 brands, excluding GST.
HDHMR is the board contractors reach for when a flat, machinable surface matters more than screw-holding — shutters, louvered fronts, CNC-routed panels, wardrobe faces that must not telegraph a core joint. It is denser than MDF and treated for moisture, which is where the price sits relative to both MDF and plywood.
The table below covers every high-density board in the catalogue with its grade, certification and thickness range. Note that these boards run to far more thicknesses than plywood does — 3mm through 30mm — which is why the rate span is wide.
Rates are per sq.ft excluding GST and are the band each board is quoted across.

HDHMR vs MDF vs plywood
These three get quoted against each other constantly, and they are good at different things. Density is not the same as strength.
| Board | Screw holding | Moisture behaviour | Machining and edge | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plywood | Best — cross-laminated veneers grip a screw | Depends entirely on grade (MR to IS 710) | Edge shows the core; needs banding | Carcasses, structural shelving, anything carrying hardware |
| HDHMR | Good, better than MDF, below plywood | Treated for moisture; still a fibre board | Machines cleanly; routed profiles hold | Shutters, louvered and routed fronts, CNC panels |
| MDF | Weakest of the three at the edge | Interior grade unless specified MR | Cleanest machined surface | Painted panels, wall panelling, non-load furniture |
None of the three is a substitute for the others across a whole project. A typical Hyderabad kitchen uses plywood carcasses with HDHMR or MDF shutters.
Where each option belongs
Kitchen and wardrobe shutters
The main use. HDHMR stays flat across a tall shutter where plywood can bow, and it takes a laminate or acrylic face without telegraphing.
Louvered and fluted panels
Routed profiles hold their edge in HDHMR. Plywood chips along the veneer lines and MDF crumbles at a fine profile.
CNC and profile work
Any design that goes through a router — grooved fronts, cut-outs, curved fascias.
Where not to use it
Carcass sides carrying hinge and channel screws, and anything below a sink. Use plywood there.

Frequently asked questions
What is HDHMR board?
HDHMR stands for high density high moisture resistance — a fibre board pressed to a higher density than MDF and treated for moisture. It machines cleanly and stays flat, which is why it is specified for shutters and routed panels.
Is HDHMR better than plywood?
For shutters, routed fronts and anything where flatness and a clean machined edge matter, yes. For carcasses and anything holding hinges, channels or load, plywood is better because the cross-laminated veneers grip a screw in a way a fibre board cannot.
Can HDHMR be used in a bathroom?
For vanity shutters and fronts that see splash, yes. For the vanity carcass itself, or anything sitting in standing water, use IS 710 BWP plywood.
What does HDHMR cost per sheet in Hyderabad?
Multiply the per sq.ft rate in the table by 32 for a standard 8×4 ft sheet — the per-sheet column does that. Confirmed rates depend on thickness and volume.
