Finolex is the best wire brand for most Indian homes. Its house wire is IS 694 copper in FR, low-smoke FR-LSH (Flamegard) and halogen-free (Finoultra) grades, every carton carries two QR codes you can scan at site before paying, and it is the wire most Bangalore electricians ask for by name.
Why Finolex
- Copper and insulation to standard. Finolex house wire is IS 694 flame-retardant copper wire, with a full grade ladder up to halogen-free.
- You can verify it. Wire is the most counterfeited electrical product in India. Finolex's two-code carton check lets you prove the coil is genuine at your own site.
- A grade for every room. Silver and Gold FR for standard circuits, Flamegard FR-LSH where smoke matters, Finoultra where you want the best.
- Electricians trust it. It is the most specified house wire in Bangalore, so your electrician knows how it handles and strips.

How to make sure it is real Finolex
Finolex cartons carry two QR codes: an outer code on the carton label and an inner code you reach only after opening. The outer one proves the carton is registered with Finolex; the inner one proves the contents are what Finolex packed. Scan both, at your site, before you pay. Our Finolex wire scanner does it in the browser.
What about Polycab, KEI and RR Kabel?
They are large, reputable makers of IS 694 copper wire, and Polycab is a brand we stock. Correctly sized, any of them will outlast the house. We recommend Finolex because it is the easiest to verify, the easiest to buy genuine in Bangalore, and its FR-LSH grade gives low-smoke safety at a small premium. The four-brand comparison goes size by size.
