What Is 30mm Aggregate?
📖 DEFINITION
30mm aggregate is crushed stone screened to a nominal size of 30mm — a coarse grade, sitting between the commonly specified 20mm and the heavier 40mm. In Chennai the same material is sold under three names: aggregate, blue metal and jelly (or jelly stone). “Blue metal” refers to the bluish crushed granite used across Tamil Nadu, and “jelly” is the everyday site term. They are one product, not three.
Knowing this saves confusion when comparing quotes. A supplier quoting “30mm jelly” and another quoting “30mm blue metal” are quoting the same stone. Any gap between them is price, grading or transport — not material.

⚠ PLEASE CONFIRM BEFORE ORDERING
These are the current listed rates at Buildiyo Store, not permanent market-wide rates for Chennai. Actual prices may vary with order quantity, material quality, transportation, delivery distance, site accessibility and market conditions. Transportation, unloading and applicable taxes are confirmed at the time of quotation, so please confirm the current rate before placing an order.

Does a Bigger Size Cost More? No.
This is the question most buyers arrive with, and the answer is unusually simple. Across our aggregate range, every size carries the same listed rate:
| Size | Per CFT | Per ton | Typically specified for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6mm | ₹48 | ₹1,173 | Finer work, plastering mixes, tile bedding |
| 12mm | ₹48 | ₹1,173 | Thinner sections and closely spaced reinforcement |
| 20mm | ₹48 | ₹1,173 | The most commonly specified size for general RCC |
| 30mm ◀ | ₹48 | ₹1,173 | Coarser work where a larger stone is specified |
| 40mm | ₹48 | ₹1,173 | Mass concrete, foundations and sub-base work |
CHOOSE THE SIZE FROM YOUR DRAWINGS, NOT THE PRICE LIST
Because 6mm, 12mm, 20mm, 30mm and 40mm are all listed at ₹48 per CFT, there is no money to be saved by ordering a different size from the one specified. That removes the most common bad reason for substituting aggregate — and it is worth knowing before a site decision gets made on price. What does still change your total is quantity and transport. Two sites ordering identical 30mm stone on the same day can pay different totals because of delivery distance, site access and the vehicle required. Those are the variables worth negotiating, rather than the size.

Where 30mm Aggregate Is Used
As a coarser grade, 30mm earns its place where larger stone is appropriate and there is room for it to move and pack properly:
Foundation and footing concrete
Where sections are deep and reinforcement is not tightly spaced.
Mass and plain cement concrete
Where larger stone makes up bulk economically.
Sub-base, soling and hardcore
Layers beneath slabs, paving and roads.
Blending with other sizes
Where the mix design calls for a specified grading rather than a single size.
SIZE IS A DESIGN DECISION
Aggregate size is selected against member thickness, reinforcement spacing and concrete cover, and the engineer who prepared your drawings will have specified it. A larger stone in a thin or heavily reinforced section can bridge between bars and leave voids behind it, which is a structural problem rather than a finishing one. If your drawings do not state a size, ask your engineer rather than your supplier — and if they specify 20mm, order 20mm.
CFT, Ton and Load: How the Units Differ
Three ways of buying the same stone, and the difference matters when you compare quotes.
Per CFT
You are buying volume. This is the unit most Chennai sites estimate in, and it is the easiest to check against what arrives.
Per ton
You are buying weight. At our listed rates the two units work out to the same total for a given quantity, so neither is cheaper — but be aware that weight and volume do not track each other perfectly, because moisture adds weight without adding usable material. After heavy rain, buying by volume is the safer side of that trade.
Per load
A load is a vehicle, not a measured quantity, which is why no fixed load rate is published. What a load costs depends on the vehicle capacity, the quantity actually carried, transportation and your delivery location. Ask for it to be quoted against your address and quantity.

Bulk Orders and Delivery Charges
Bulk is quoted against the site
Not from a published slab — share the quantity and the address when you enquire.
Delivery depends on distance
From the loading point, and on the vehicle your site can take.
Site access decides the vehicle
Narrow approach roads, low cables, gate widths and restricted hours all change what can be sent.
Phased deliveries
Worth discussing in advance if your site has no room to stockpile the full quantity.
Transport, unloading and taxes
Confirmed at the time of quotation rather than assumed.
How to Buy 30mm Aggregate: Step by Step
Confirm the size against your drawings
Check that 30mm is what the design calls for before anything else. Since all sizes cost the same, availability is never a reason to substitute.
Estimate your quantity in one unit
Work from your concrete volume with your engineer or contractor and settle on CFT or tons before asking for prices.
Compare quotes on that same unit
A per-CFT quote and a per-ton quote cannot be compared by eye. Convert first, and check what each one includes.
Confirm transportation separately
Ask whether the rate includes delivery to your address, and what unloading involves.
Tell the supplier about site access
Describe the approach road, gate width and any timing restrictions before the vehicle is loaded, not after it arrives.
Inspect before the load is tipped
Check for excessive dust, soil or organic matter, a consistent size through the load, and angular rather than flat or elongated pieces. Once a load is tipped into your stockpile, it cannot be returned.
