Mount Cable India supplies 100% original Finolex wires to Udupi in Udupi district, Karnataka, from its Bengaluru godown — roughly 400 km away via Hassan and Mangaluru. We are one of the largest dealers and distributors of Finolex cables, we hold every range in stock, and you may scan any coil, or the entire consignment, before you buy. We have no showroom in Udupi.
Is there a Finolex dealer in Udupi?
There are sellers in Udupi who stock Finolex, and some of them are authorised. We are not one of them, and we will not pretend to be: Mount Cable India has exactly two showrooms, both in Bengaluru — Chickpete on BVK Iyengar Road (560053) and Jayanagar (560011). We have no branch, godown or counter in Udupi or anywhere else in Karnataka.
What we do is supply. Udupi is roughly 400 km from our godown via Hassan and Mangaluru, and material moves by road transport against a written quotation with the freight itemised separately so you can see the landed cost rather than guess at it.
A fair share of Udupi and Manipal enquiries are for buildings that will be let out rather than lived in by the owner — and that is where the temptation to save on wire is strongest, and worst. Wire is the one item in a rented building that the owner will never inspect again and the tenant can never see. Get it right once.
Careful — many firms will claim to be Finolex dealers
This applies in Udupi exactly as it does in Bengaluru. A great many firms, including large and impressive showrooms, will tell you they are Finolex dealers. Some are. Some buy from whoever offered the best price that week. Some are moving repacked cartons. The board outside tells you nothing about which.
There is one defence and it is absolute: scan every single QR code on every single coil — the outer code on the carton and the inner code inside it — and confirm 100% original material before you pay. Not the top box. Not a sample. Every coil, both codes, about twenty seconds each.
| Code | Where it is | What it proves |
|---|---|---|
| Outer QR | Printed on the carton label with the size, grade, coil length and batch | That the carton itself was produced by Finolex and is registered with them |
| Inner QR | Inside the box, reachable only after the carton is opened | That the contents are what Finolex packed — the check a repacker cannot pass |
Both codes matter, and the reason is specific: a genuine carton can be emptied and refilled with duplicate wire. In that case the outer code still verifies perfectly and only the inner code fails. Scanning the outer code alone is an incomplete check, and the people who refill cartons are counting on you stopping there.

Is it worth ordering from Bengaluru at all?
Sometimes, and sometimes not. At roughly 400 km, freight is a real number and copper is heavy. On a full house of wiring or a project bill of quantities, the distributor rate generally absorbs it comfortably. On three or four coils it usually does not, and we will tell you so rather than take the order.
Whatever you decide, apply the price test. Genuine branded wire runs on a 3 to 5 per cent dealer margin, because most of a coil's cost is the copper inside it and copper has a market price every honest seller pays. So a local quote 15 or 20 per cent below the market is not a bargain — the gap is funded from inside the coil, by copper shortfall, a short coil, or a counterfeit. Our quotation is a useful reference against exactly that. More in dealer price vs retail price.
A second opinion, free, wherever you buy
If you are buying Finolex in Udupi from someone else and want a second opinion, send photographs of the carton label, both QR codes and the markings printed along the wire to +91 88676 76700. We will tell you what we see, whether or not the material came from us. We have done this in Bengaluru for 35 years and we would rather a house in Udupi was wired correctly than win an argument about where the coils came from.
