Was it RCDhamaka that someone commented earlier that they had some ?

India Hobby Center was also referenced in relation to balsa sources earlier.

No one in India stocks or makes balsa ply. Even abroad, there are just 2-3 firms who make balsa ply.
Are you looking for Balsa or plywood or is that you exactly need balsaply?

That is mostly pine wood, pine also varies according to different speices and the area where it is grown. Good for some load bearing areas, but it has its own disadvantage due to high oil content, glue strength is seriously comprised, due to oil leaching. The oild veins in the wood also compromise the wood strength.
That is the reason why you see other woods like, bass, spruce, birch etc used in model as well as full scale planes, where the oil veins are less prominent and oil content much less

That is a misnomer, what they have labelled as balsaplywood is shown as birchply when you click on the heading menu. From the hazy picture the labesl look like Midwest product

Rightly said Capt.
Many other timber are faked for Balsa wood so often. Even many Balsa plane kits sold in India are not pure balsa.  Very few LHS sell real Balsa. One of most trusted name in Balsa is 'Balsa USA' if you can find any shop selling Balsa planks from a box with 'Balsa USA' label, you can close your eyes and go for it.

One of most trusted name in Balsa is 'Balsa USA'

In India, you can get Balsa USA balsa with your own label. If you order in bulk from them, they will even put your label on the sheets they send.
Two firms, RCD and one in Ulhasnagar (forget the name) sell BUSA wood products.
Apart from BUSA , there are many other like Solarbo, Lone Star Balsa (yes they are back in business)

I have had good experience buying from the Ulhasnagar shop in 2005. I lost their contact thereafter. Got very good prices and quality too at that time.

Acro,
If by 'Balsa Ply' you mean the normal (Soft/hard) Balsa sheet , you can get them from many LHS like RCDhamaka, RcForall (Sai), Sharma Models etc.

There is something called 'Lite Ply' some times called model plywood, if you meant otherwise. I am not sure how sand'able they are as they are used as doublers in fuselage. You can find them with RCDhamaka as well.

By balsa plywood.. i mean balsa used for boomerang and plane fuselage...
It's more dense than balsa wood (balsa sheets) used for wings etc.
And i didn't find that on RCDhamaka !!
