Approximate prices in India, October 2026 (sellers' websites)
ItemPrice range
Stick (SMAW) welding labour, per hour₹200–₹600
Submerged arc (SAW) welding, per hour₹500–₹1,200
Welder qualification test, per test₹3,000–₹9,000 (Chennai)
Arc welding machine 200A, new₹3,850–₹5,950 (incl. GST)

Standards and certification

The search results name international welder qualification codes, such as ISO 9606, ASME IX and AWS D1.1. If your job needs certified welds, ask the welder which code they are qualified under and for a test certificate. In Chennai a plate welding test is quoted at about ₹3,000, and pipe tests at about ₹4,500 to ₹9,000.

Season and working outdoors

India is hot for most of the year, and the wet season brings rain that makes outdoor work on wet metal difficult. Plan site welding for the drier weeks, and ask for a covered place or a shelter for the work. October 2026 falls between the wet and dry seasons, so rain may still interrupt the work on some days.

How welding is priced and delivered

Labour is usually quoted per hour, while machines are quoted per piece. Ask whether GST is included; one 200A arc welding machine is listed with GST in its price. For site work, ask whether the welder will come to your address in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad or Chennai and whether travel is charged.

What to write in your request

Say what needs welding, the metal (mild steel, stainless or aluminium), the dimensions or thickness in mm, whether the metal is coated, and whether the welder should come to your site or you bring the metal to them. Add the deadline and your budget. Welders reply in the chat with a price, a time and terms.

Describe the job in your own words in a chat on BlaBlaPrice, and add a photo if you have one. The request is free for buyers. The AI asks for missing details, checks sellers' websites and price lists in India, and shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own offer. Your contact details stay hidden until you decide to share them. See Construction & renovation for related jobs, or Electrical installation.
