“What will uPVC windows cost me?” is the first question almost every homeowner asks — and most websites dodge it. This guide gives you real per-square-foot ranges for India in 2026, explains what actually changes the price, and shows you how to compare quotes without getting caught out.
uPVC window price in India: the quick answer
As a working range, uPVC windows in India cost roughly ₹450 to ₹950 per square foot, supplied and installed. Where you land inside that range depends mostly on the window type, the glass, and the hardware. Here is how the common types compare:
- uPVC sliding windows — about ₹450–₹850 / sq ft. The most economical choice, and space-saving because the sashes slide rather than swing. See sliding windows →
- uPVC casement windows — about ₹500–₹950 / sq ft. Hinged windows that open fully for airflow and seal tightest against rain, dust and noise. See casement windows →
- Fixed / picture windows — usually the lowest cost per sq ft, since there is no opening hardware, but they do not ventilate.
- uPVC doors (casement, sliding, slide & fold) are quoted the same way — per sq ft, by size, glazing and hardware. See the full range →
These are guide ranges, not a quote. The only way to know your real number is a free on-site measurement, because size and site conditions change everything.
What actually changes the price
1. Single vs double glazing
Glass is often the single biggest line item. Double glazing (two panes with an air gap) costs more than single, but cuts heat and noise far more effectively — worth it on road-facing rooms and west-facing walls. Single glazing is fine for internal or shaded openings.
2. Window type and opening style
Casement windows use more hardware (hinges, multi-point locks) than a basic slider, so they sit higher in the range. A 3-track slider costs a little more than a 2-track. Match the type to the room rather than buying the cheapest everywhere.
3. Profile and reinforcement quality
This is where cheap quotes hide their savings. A genuine window uses a thick, multi-chamber profile with a galvanised steel core — Astrapia uses a 2.45 mm three-chamber profile, a 2.5 mm three-chamber sash and 1.5 mm galvanised steel reinforcement, with Japan-imported hardware. Thin single-wall sections cost less up front and sag, leak or rattle within a few years. Always ask for the profile and steel thickness in writing.
4. Size, grid and mesh
Larger openings need stronger sections and sometimes couplings, which affects the rate. Add-ons like insect mesh, grills or decorative grids add a little per window.
5. Colour and finish
Woodgrain laminate finishes (Golden Oak, Dark Oak, Mahogany) typically cost a little more than plain White. Astrapia offers six finishes on both profile and hardware, all colour-stable.
How to compare two uPVC quotes fairly
Two quotes for “uPVC windows” can differ by 40% and still both be honest — because they are not the same window. Before you compare price, line up the specification:
- Profile wall thickness and number of chambers
- Steel reinforcement thickness (and whether every section is reinforced)
- Single or double glazing, and glass thickness
- Hardware brand and locking (single-point vs multi-point)
- Whether installation, sealing and finishing are included
- The warranty — Astrapia backs its systems with a 20-year warranty
Once those match, the price comparison is real. A cheaper quote with a thinner profile and no steel is not cheaper — it is a different, shorter-lived product.

Frequently asked questions
Are uPVC windows cheaper than aluminium?
For a like-for-like specification, quality uPVC and quality aluminium are broadly comparable, but uPVC usually insulates better and needs less maintenance, so it tends to cost less over the life of the window.
Why is one uPVC quote so much cheaper than another?
Almost always because of a thinner profile, missing steel reinforcement, single instead of double glazing, or cheaper hardware. Compare the specification, not just the total.
Does the price include installation?
At Astrapia, yes — measurement, manufacturing to your exact size, installation, sealing and finishing are part of the quote.
