How Much Do Aluminium Louvers Cost in India?
Aluminium louvers in India typically cost ₹1,800 to ₹5,500 per square metre, with tested performance louvers for metro and commercial projects usually landing in the ₹2,500–₹4,500/m² band. The spread is wide because "louver" covers everything from a basic weather grille to a BS EN 13030-tested performance louver — and they are not interchangeable.
What Actually Drives Louver Price
Four things move the per-m² number more than the aluminium itself:
- Blade profile & depth — deeper storm-resistant blades (150–200 mm) use more metal and cost more than shallow standard blades.
- Free area — a higher free-area design moves more air for the same opening, but the blade geometry to achieve it is more engineered.
- Tested performance — a louver with a BS EN 13030 / AMCA 500-L water-penetration and airflow test report costs more than an untested one, and is worth it on any project that specifies performance.
- Finish — anodising vs powder coating, and coating thickness, change the price and the life.
Indicative Price by Louver Type
As a budgeting guide, price rises with weather performance and blade engineering:
Finish: Anodising vs Powder Coating
Finish is both a cost and a durability decision. Anodising (typically 15–25 micron) gives a hard, integral, corrosion-resistant surface ideal for coastal and high-exposure sites. Powder coating offers a wider colour range and architectural finish at a similar-to-lower cost, with life depending on coating thickness and pre-treatment. For most facades a quality PVDF powder coat is specified; for aggressive coastal exposure, anodising often wins.
Anodising (15–25µ)
- Hard, integral, abrasion-resistant
- Excellent for coastal / high exposure
- Metallic finish range
Powder coat (PVDF)
- Wide architectural colour range
- Great for facades & matching schemes
- Life driven by thickness & pre-treatment
The Cheap-Louver Trap
The lowest quote often buys a louver with a low free area (so you need a bigger, costlier opening), no tested water-penetration class (so it leaks in monsoon), and a thin finish (so it corrodes). On a project that specifies performance, an untested louver can fail submittal review entirely — costing far more than the saving.
Buy on tested data, not price: insist on a BS EN 13030 / AMCA 500-L report for water penetration and airflow before comparing louver quotes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the price of aluminium louvers in India?
Aluminium louvers typically cost ₹1,800–5,500 per square metre. Standard weather louvers run ₹1,800–2,800/m², tested performance louvers ₹2,500–4,500/m², and storm or acoustic louvers ₹3,500–5,500/m², depending on blade depth, free area, alloy and finish.
What factors affect aluminium louver cost?
Blade profile and depth, free-area design, whether the louver carries a BS EN 13030 / AMCA 500-L test report, aluminium alloy grade (6063-T6 / 6061-T6), and the finish (anodising vs powder coating and its thickness).
Is anodising or powder coating better for louvers?
Anodising (15–25 micron) gives a hard, corrosion-resistant surface ideal for coastal exposure. Powder coating (especially PVDF) offers a wider colour range for architectural matching at similar cost. The right choice depends on exposure and aesthetics.
Why are some louver quotes so much cheaper?
Cheaper louvers often have lower free area, no tested water-penetration class, and thinner finishes — meaning larger openings, monsoon leakage, and faster corrosion. On performance-specified projects they may fail submittal review.
How do I get an accurate louver quotation?
Share the required free area, design airflow (face velocity), and weather exposure. KBG Group will match a tested performance louver to the spec and provide a project-specific quotation.
