Prices are loading-point prices and exclude transport. Transport is charged per trip based on the delivery area — Tambaram, Velachery, OMR, ECR, Ambattur, Avadi, Anna Nagar and surrounding suburbs. We will quote both numbers on the call, before the tipper is loaded. Prices shift with fuel, demand and quarry rates; the only price that matters is the one we give you on the phone for the day of delivery.
What changes the price
Six factors that move M-Sand and aggregate price in Chennai.
If two quotes differ by a few hundred rupees a ton, here is usually why.
Grade and zone
IS 383 Zone II is the most common construction grade. Finer zones (Zone III / IV) and concrete-grade washed M-Sand cost more because extra sieving is required.
Wash cycle
Single-washed M-Sand is cheaper than double-washed. Double-washed removes the silt that weakens concrete — worth the premium for slabs and beams.
Distance from supply point to site
Transport is the biggest variable. A site in Tambaram costs less to deliver to than a site in Maraimalai Nagar. We price transport on the call based on your pin code.
Tipper size
A standard 10-wheeler tipper carries 300 CFT (≈ 8.5 m³, ≈ 13 tons). A 6-wheeler carries 200 CFT, a 12-wheeler carries 400 CFT. Per-ton price drops on bigger loads.
Diesel and royalty
Stone-royalty revisions by the state government and diesel price changes flow into the rate within a few weeks. We revise the published band weekly.
Demand and season
Summer (Mar–Jun) and post-monsoon (Oct–Dec) are peak construction months. Prices climb 5–10% at the peak; off-season, the same grade is cheaper.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing and delivery questions answered
How much is 1 unit of M-Sand in Chennai today?
1 unit of double-washed M-Sand (100 CFT ≈ 4.5 tons) currently ranges between ₹5,500 to ₹5,700 at the loading point, or ₹1,250 per ton. Transport is quoted transparently based on your delivery area.
Why do you quote both per-ton and per-unit prices?
Traditional contractors order in Units (100 CFT), but civil engineers and weighbridges measure in Metric Tonnes. We provide both rates along with computerized weighbridge slips so there is zero confusion.
How is transport calculated in Chennai?
Transport is billed per tipper trip from our Tambaram yard based on distance, toll routes, and lorry size (6-wheeler vs 10-wheeler). We confirm the total transport cost before dispatch.
