UP forest corporation starts new trend

GN Bureau | October 17, 2012



Now Lucknow residents can buy the best quality timber for furnitures online.

Starting a new trend, the Uttar Pradesh forest corporation has put details of timber available with it online for buyers to make a choice and place bids. The cost of the timber can be paid either online or at the time of delivery.

To make it even more convenient, the website will also allow auto-bidding, where a buyer might not sit tracking the site for every bid. He can quote an amount by which his bid will be increased, each time there is a counter-bid. The first e-auction started on an experimental basis in Lucknow from Tuesday.

The corporation has decided on only 14 lots (each lot comprises 8 to 10 tonnes of timber) to be put up for auction this time. The timber on sale has been graded on the basis of quality and details have been uploaded on the website for all. Buyers can check the quality and make a bid depending on their need and preference.
