Cement prices by brand
Rates below are blended averages across the common OPC and PPC brands sold in Tirupati (roughly ₹5–15 per bag apart from each other) — ask your dealer for the specific brand breakdown if it matters for your order. PPC is typically slightly cheaper and is common for plastering and non-structural work; OPC is preferred for structural RCC.
| Material | Price | Since last check | Trend |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPC Cement (50 kg bag) per bag |
₹390–420 | ▲ 0.7% | |
| PPC Cement (50 kg bag) per bag |
₹370–400 | ▲ 0.8% |
TMT steel rates
Steel is quoted per kilogram at the mill/dealer level but usually billed per tonne for a full order. Rates move with national steel prices and can shift week to week — if you're ordering a large quantity, ask your dealer to hold a quote for a specific number of days rather than assuming the rate below still applies weeks later.
| Material | Price | Since last check | Trend |
|---|---|---|---|
| TMT Steel Fe500 (all diameters, blended) per kg |
₹62–68 | No change |
Sand and aggregate rates
River sand supply in and around Tirupati can tighten during monsoon months, pushing prices toward the top of the range or higher. Manufactured sand (M-sand) is a more consistently available substitute for plastering and some concrete work, typically at a lower price point than river sand.
| Material | Price | Since last check | Trend |
|---|---|---|---|
| River Sand per tonne |
₹1,600–2,100 | No change | |
| Manufactured Sand (M-Sand) per tonne |
₹1,300–1,600 | No change |
| Material | Price | Since last check | Trend |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 mm Aggregate per tonne |
₹950–1,150 | ▲ 1.0% |
Bricks and blocks
Red brick prices vary noticeably by kiln distance from the site — bricks sourced from farther kilns cost more in transport than in the brick itself for a large order. AAC and solid concrete blocks are priced per piece rather than per thousand, so compare on a per-square-metre-of-wall basis (see the brick calculator) rather than per unit alone.
| Material | Price | Since last check | Trend |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red Bricks per 1000 |
₹6,500–8,000 | ▲ 1.4% | |
| Solid Concrete Block (400x200x200) per piece |
₹38–48 | No change | |
| AAC Block (600x200x200) per piece |
₹55–68 | No change |
Ready-mix concrete
RMC pricing is quoted per cubic metre delivered to site and already includes the cement, sand and aggregate mix — compare it against the material-only cost from the concrete calculator plus your own labour and mixing cost before deciding between site-mixed and ready-mix for a given pour size.
| Material | Price | Since last check | Trend |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ready-Mix Concrete M20 per cu.m |
₹5,800–6,500 | No change |
