Cartridges and printing supplies in India: prices and what to ask

Updated 4 November 2026

A printer cartridge or toner costs roughly ₹375 to ₹13,292 in India, depending on whether it is compatible or original, the printer model and the page yield. These figures are approximate, taken from sellers' websites, and the quickest way to see what is in stock for your printer is to send a request on BlaBlaPrice.

What to check before you order

The model number on the printer label or in the manual decides which cartridge fits, so check it before you compare offers. Many listings show the model in the title, and some sellers offer two-packs, such as an HP 682 colour and black combo at ₹2,028, so decide early whether you need colour, black or both. Guidance found online says that compatible cartridges should be new, unused and fully compatible with the specified printer model, and that a high-quality compatible cartridge does not by itself void the printer warranty.

Page yield and cost per page

Some listings give a yield such as 3,000 pages for an HP 77A toner, so compare the price with the page count rather than the price tag alone. A cheap cartridge with a low yield can cost more per printed page than a dearer one with a high yield. Ask the seller to confirm the yield for your exact model before you pay.

Climate, storage and delivery

The climate here is tropical: hot all year, with a wet and a dry season instead of winter and summer. Nothing in the local price data points to a seasonal pattern for cartridges, so buy when you need them. Keep spare cartridges sealed and away from direct heat, which matters in a climate that is hot all year. When you order, name your city, whether that is Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai or another, so the seller can state the delivery time and cost.

Send a request for your printer model on BlaBlaPrice, which is free for buyers. Describe the cartridge, whether it is original or compatible, colour, quantity, page yield and city. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their price, terms and delivery, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose to share them.
