Mount Cable India is an authorised electrical distributor in Bengaluru and an alternative to HomeRun for anyone buying Finolex wires and electrical material. The difference is structural: we hold brand authorisation directly, sell sealed cartons you scan and verify at your own site before paying, and publish our prices in full. HomeRun competes on delivery speed, which is a genuine advantage when a job has stopped.
What HomeRun does well
HomeRun has raised around $7.6 million across two rounds and offers cement, plywood, tiles, paint, plumbing and electrical supplies with 60-minute delivery in Bangalore. Quick commerce solves a real problem in building materials: work stops because something ran out, and waiting until tomorrow costs more than the item. If that is your situation, use it — we would.
Where a distributor is the better fit
The purchase this page is really about is different: the electrical material for a whole house, going inside walls for thirty years. There, three things matter more than speed.
- Authorisation held directly. Ask any seller for the brand certificate and check the name matches their billing entity. A platform aggregating stock from several suppliers may not be able to answer for the specific coil arriving at your door.
- Verification before payment. Every carton we deliver carries a QR outside and a second QR inside the box. Scan both at your site; pay after. A genuine coil passes both, a refilled carton passes only the outer one.
- Recourse in month eight. Ask who you call when something is wrong later, and whether the relationship that makes a manufacturer claim possible still exists.

Ask all of us the same three questions
- Are you an authorised dealer for this brand, and can I see the certificate?
- Can I scan the QR on every carton before I pay?
- If a coil is wrong in eight months, who fixes it?
Ask us too. A seller who is comfortable with all three is a seller worth buying from, whoever they are.
