Why does the aggregate price change in India?

In India, the price of aggregate is not the same everywhere. If you visit suppliers and dealers, you may find the same type of aggregate with different prices.

To my knowledge, I think the price of aggregate mainly depends on the stone size, quality, crushing costs, availability, and the distance between the manufacturing plant and the construction site, i.e., transportation charges.

When you buy aggregate for construction, you need to understand the following factors that affect the price of aggregate in India.

1. Size of Aggregate

If you look, aggregates are available in numerous sizes like 10 mm, 20 mm, 40 mm, etc. The actual price may vary depending on the size of aggregate you need, production costs, and local availability.

If we look, for example, we commonly use 20 mm aggregate in RCC works. Just before you compare prices, remember to check exactly which size of aggregate you are searching for in your construction work.

2. Quality of Aggregate

We can clearly see that not all aggregates are of the same quality. Remember that! For good-quality aggregate, you need to see whether it is durable or not, strong enough, and suitable for your construction work.

When you visit the aggregate site, you may find aggregate with dust, weak stones, or unwanted materials that are unsuitable for your construction work.

So, before you buy, remember to check the aggregate quality and make sure that the aggregates meet the requirements of your construction work.

3. Cost of Crushing Stones

In the manufacturing plant, most of the coarse aggregates are made by crushing big stones into small pieces with the help of crushing machines.

When I observed, I found that, most of the crushing costs depend upon the electricity or fuel costs, labour costs, regular maintenance of the machine, and the type of stone used there. If these costs increase, then it results in an increase in costs for aggregate.

4. Availability of Stones and Crusher Plants

We have to know that, aggregate price may also depends upon the availability of stones and crusher plants within your area.

Luckily, if there are many crusher plants that supplies aggregate nearby your area then you will have sufficient options to make comparison.

Unfortunately, if the crusher plant is far from your area and the stone supply is limited, then in this situation you may face an increase in aggregate’s price.

5. Distance from the Crusher Plant

When the distance gap is higher between construction plant and the construction site, it can affect the final price of the aggregate.

If the crusher plant is far from your site then the transportation cost may increase. For this reason, aggregate you brought from the nearby crusher plant costs less rather than the aggregate brought from far locations.

Before placing order, please kindly check whether the quoted price includes costs or not.

6. Order Quantity and Loading Charges

Remember that the aggregate total costs also depends upon the amount of aggregate you place in the order and the loading charges applied.

Let’s understand from example, if you order a full truckload then you may have a different cost per unit rather than ordering aggregate in a small quantity. Then, the aggregate’s final cost depends upon the supplier, truck size, and the arrangement of delivery.

Before you buy the aggregate, please confirm the measurement unit, quantity, truck capacity, and the loading charges because it will help you with price comparison and avoid extra costs.
