What is a realistic price range for Indian granite today?
For standard domestic granites, expect roughly ₹45–₹100/sqft (budget), ₹101–₹200/sqft (mid), and ₹200+/sqft (premium). The final figure depends on thickness, finish, selection grade, slab size, and logistics.
Why do two sellers quote very different prices for the same name?
Names can be used loosely. Price shifts with quarry source, background tone, consistency, fissures/fill, polish depth, slab size, and actual thickness. Always compare with recent slab photos and tape-measure thickness.
How does thickness change the price?
Thicker slabs use more material and are harder to process. As a thumb rule, 20 mm costs more than 16–18 mm; 30 mm costs more than 20 mm. Confirm true thickness (not nominal) with caliper/tape photos.
Which finishes cost more: polished, leather, flamed, or honed?
Polished is the baseline. Leathered, flamed, and specialty textures usually add to cost due to extra processing and yield loss. Premium deep-polish work can also carry a higher rate.
Are your prices ex-factory or delivered?
Our listed ranges are ex-factory Kishangarh. Door-delivery is available pan-India at actual transport plus loading/unloading. We’ll share an all-inclusive quote on request.
How is GST applied on granite slabs/tiles?
Worked granite (slabs/tiles) generally falls under HSN 6802 and commonly attracts 18% GST. Transport (freight) can have a different GST treatment. Please confirm the current rate with your CA at the time of purchase.
What is the HSN code used for granite?
Granite in worked form is usually billed under HSN 6802 (granite, marble and other worked stone). Exact sub-classification may vary by product form and finish. We put the HSN on all tax invoices.
How much does transport add to the price?
It depends on distance, quantity, and truck type. For budgeting, many buyers keep a rough ₹30–₹40/sqft for long-haul full-truck movements. Actuals vary; we quote exact freight before dispatch.
Can I get better rates on bulk or project orders?
Yes. Larger, consistent orders help optimize cutting and logistics. If you have a BOQ or target quantity, share it; we’ll structure a project price and dispatch plan.
How do slab dimensions impact the cost?
Bigger, defect-free slabs reduce wastage in cutting, often improving the effective rate per sqft. Short or narrow slabs may appear cheaper but can increase laying cost and waste.
What does “selection grade” mean in pricing?
It’s the visual and structural quality band for a lot: background uniformity, vein clarity, micro-fissures, and natural patches. Higher selection grades cost more due to lower yield and better overall look.
Why does imported granite sometimes cost less than an Indian color?
Import prices depend on quarry contracts, shipping cycles, and currency. A stable foreign quarry with steady output can price competitively against scarce Indian colors. Always compare real slabs, not names.
Is there a minimum order quantity?
No fixed MOQ for retail buyers; however, factory-best pricing is achievable on bulk. For small orders, we prioritize pieces that reduce breakage risk in transport.
How do I verify I’m getting true thickness and grade?
Ask for QC photos with a tape/calliper at multiple points, daylight images of both faces, and close-ups of edges/fissures. We share these before billing so you know exactly what’s shipping.
What payment terms are typical for factory-rate pricing?
Generally advance against confirmation and balance before dispatch. For projects, phased schedules can be planned. All payments are invoiced with HSN and GST.
Can you cut to custom sizes and what does it cost?
Yes, cut-to-size is available. Rates depend on quantity, sizes, edging, and finish. Share a cutting list; we’ll quote processing and packing clearly so you can compare true landed cost.
How do I compare granite with vitrified tiles on total cost?
Include material, cutting, edge finishing, adhesive, laying, wastage, and transport. Granite has a longer life cycle and can be re-polished, which lowers lifetime cost for many projects.
Do seasonal factors change granite prices?
Yes. Quarry output, festival demand, and transport availability can move prices. If your project is flexible, lock material when you find the right lot rather than waiting for a small drop.
What safeguards are there during transport?
We use wooden A-frames, corner guards, edge padding, and strapping. Insurance is available on request. We share loading photos and vehicle details for transparency.
How quickly can you dispatch after order confirmation?
Ready-stock slabs typically dispatch within 1–3 working days after payment and QC approval. Cut-to-size and special finishes need additional processing time, which we confirm in writing.
