Both make good IS 694 copper house wire, and coil list prices are close. We recommend Finolex for house wiring because every carton can be checked with two QR codes at site, its Flamegard FR-LSH grade gives low-smoke safety at a small premium, and it is the house wire most Bangalore electricians ask for.

Why we recommend 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.
Polycab is the right pick if you want one brand across wires, fans and lighting. For house wire alone, Finolex. See Finolex prices and Polycab prices.
