Looks like laminated 10mm Biofoam / Depron.

I think it is 8-10mm foam board. The foam board is has two layers of paper on both sides with foam in the middle. This is more stiff than depron.

Foam Board, known as Sunfoam/Sunboard in India, would be much heavier and wouldn't cut so easy with a modelling knife.

However, I could be wrong....................

VC bhaiya is right. I have this material, it is much heavier compared to depron and is also difficult to cut.
