Prices shown are indicative, sourced from publicly published manufacturer lists, and subject to copper-driven and dealer-discount fluctuations. They may not reflect real-time updates. Errors and omissions excepted.

Note on list vs effective transaction price. List prices vary 50–70% across BIS-certified manufacturers; effective transaction prices vary <10%, governed by copper economics. Typical industry discount range: 25–55% from list. List price is the publicly verifiable benchmark — transaction price requires a verified delivered quote. The Cu-floor column is the copper-cost-anchored economic floor and is identical for every brand at a given size.

Procurement checklist

Before comparing prices — verify four things.

Cable pricing only matters once you've confirmed the right specification. Shortcuts on any of these can void NBC compliance and shift fire-safety liability to the specifier.

1
The correct IS standard for your application
FR / FR-LSH → IS 694:2010 (650/1100V building wire). HFFR halogen-free → IS 17048:2018. Armoured / heavy-duty → IS 1554 Part 1 or Part 2. XLPE industrial / HT → IS 7098 Part 1 or 2. Solar DC → IEC 62930.
2
BIS licence currently active
Cross-check the brand's CM/L number at bis.gov.in. A licence under IS 694:2010 does NOT extend to IS 17048:2018 (HFFR) or IS 1554 (armoured) — separate licences required.
3
Voltage rating matches the standard
IS 694:2010 mandates 650/1100V. Reject any cable quoted at 450/750V for an IS 694 application — that's a different IEC spec, not legally compliant under NBC.
4
HCl class per NBC 2016
FR-LSH requires HCl emission < 15% (IS 694). HFFR requires HCl < 0.5% (IS 17048). Hospitals / airports / metro need HFFR — FR-LSH does not comply.
