About InfraLens material prices

Coverage

InfraLens tracks 200 distinct construction materials across 16 categories (cement, steel & rebar, sand & aggregates, ready-mix concrete, bricks & blocks, tiles & flooring, paints, wood & plywood, plumbing, electrical, interiors & glass, waterproofing, labour) in 50 Indian cities — including all metros and major tier-2 construction markets. Prices are brand-wise where the brand premium is material (cement, steel, paint, plumbing, electrical) and grade-wise elsewhere. Every item is cross-referenced with the governing Indian Standard (IS) code — click through to the full specification.

How prices are sourced

Current-day prices are gathered from authorised dealer networks, state SOR tables (CPWD DSR, state PWD schedules), B2B marketplaces (IndiaMart listings), and direct manufacturer distributor quotes. Ranges reflect the spread between bulk authorised-dealer rates and retail single-unit rates. Items flagged with "inferred from brand premium" have their per-city prices computed from a parent generic item using published brand-price differentials (e.g., UltraTech cement ≈ generic OPC 53 × 1.04); these will be replaced with direct-sourced data as the weekly scraper pipeline rolls out.

Update cadence

Data is refreshed weekly. Last update: 22 May 2026. Subscribe to the InfraLens WhatsApp channel for the weekly price-movement digest (launches after our tracker accumulates 4 weeks of history — currently in weeks 1-2).

Prices shown are indicative ranges for project-planning purposes only. Actual dealer quotes depend on brand, grade, quantity, payment terms, delivery location, and any regional promotions or shortages.
