Bricks, concrete blocks and AAC blocks in India: prices and standards

Updated 4 November 2026

In India a standard 9 inch concrete brick costs about ₹9 and most AAC blocks about ₹40 to ₹65 each at the moment (approximately, according to sellers' websites, November 2026). Prices are quoted per piece, and paver blocks cost more. For a price that matches your quantity and delivery address, describe the material in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Standards to check on the product

Products made to Indian Standards under a licence carry the Standard Mark of the Bureau of Indian Standards, so ask to see it. Hollow and solid concrete blocks follow IS 2185 (Part 1), and AAC blocks follow IS 2185 (Part 3). The standard AAC size is 600 x 200 x 100 to 250 mm. A 400 x 200 x 200 mm hollow load-bearing block weighs about 17 to 26 kg, so check the weight when the truck unloads. Ask for test results on strength and water absorption before you accept delivery.

Quantity and season

Plan quantities in pieces and cubic metres. A thumb rule for brickwork in 1:6 cement-sand mortar is about 500 standard bricks per cubic metre, so 10 cubic metres need roughly 5,000 bricks. India's climate is tropical, with wet and dry seasons instead of winter and summer. The monsoon slows laying, curing and site deliveries, while November falls in the drier part of the year. Store blocks off the ground and under cover during rain.

What to write in your request

State the material (solid brick, hollow block, AAC or paver), the size in millimetres or inches, the grade, the quantity in pieces or cubic metres, the delivery address with any access limits, and the deadline. Ask each seller whether the price includes delivery to Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad or Chennai. Add your budget in rupees.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the material in your own words in a free chat, and a photo can help. The assistant asks for missing details such as size, grade and quantity, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in India, and shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own price, terms and delivery, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose to share them.
