Work gloves in India: types, prices and how to order

Updated 4 November 2026

Work gloves in India cost roughly ₹49 to ₹2,049 a pair, depending on whether you need a thin liner, a nitrile-coated glove or leather. For a current price for your exact job, send a request on BlaBlaPrice and sellers will reply in the chat with their offer.

Standards to check before you buy

Gloves for mechanical risks are tested under standards such as EN 388, which measures abrasion, cut, tear and puncture resistance. The Bureau of Indian Standards publishes IS 6994-1 for safety gloves, and a product covered by an Indian Standard can carry the Standard Mark. For electrical work, rubber insulating gloves follow IS 4770:1991, so do not use a mechanical-risk glove for live work. Ask the seller which standard the pair meets before you order.

The season and the climate

The climate here is tropical: hot all year, with wet and dry seasons instead of winter and summer. Heat makes hands sweat, so breathable knit liners are worth asking for in any of the five cities. In the wet season, damp gloves wear out faster, so keep a spare pack on site rather than waiting for the old pair to fail. Order before a busy spell rather than during it.

How gloves are bought in India

Sellers in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai quote gloves per pair or in packs of 5 pairs. A 5-pair pack at ₹180 to ₹227 works out to about ₹36 to ₹45 a pair, which is below every single nitrile pair in the table. Ask whether the quoted price includes GST, and ask for delivery to your own city before you agree, because terms differ between sellers.

What to put in your request

Name the glove type, the coating or material, the number of pairs and the main job. Add the size you need, the knit density if you know it, and the city for delivery. State your budget per pair. A photo of the glove you use now helps sellers match it, and these details let a seller answer in one message instead of asking several questions.
