What Is 40mm Jelly?
📖 DEFINITION
40mm jelly is crushed stone screened to a nominal size of 40mm — the coarsest grade commonly supplied for construction. Across Chennai and Tamil Nadu the same material is sold under three names: jelly (or jelly stone), blue metal, and aggregate. “Blue metal” refers to the bluish crushed granite used throughout the region; “jelly” is the everyday site term. They describe one product, not three, and there is no separate rate for each name.
This matters when you compare quotes. A supplier quoting “40mm jelly” and another quoting “40mm blue metal” are quoting the same stone. Any difference between them comes from price, grading or transport — not from the material.

| Unit of sale | Listed rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Per CFT (cubic foot) | ₹48 | Buying by volume — the unit most Chennai sites estimate in. |
| Per ton | ₹1,173 | Buying by weight — useful when your estimate is already in tonnes. |
| Per load / truckload | Quoted on request | A load is a vehicle, not a measured quantity. No fixed load rate is published, because what it carries and what it costs to send depend on the vehicle and your location. |
⚠ PLEASE CONFIRM BEFORE ORDERING
These are the current listed rates at Buildiyo Store, not permanent market-wide rates for Chennai.

The Listed Price Is Not the Delivered Price
This is the part most buyers discover after they have already compared two suppliers on the wrong number.
| Cost component | In the listed price? | What it depends on |
|---|---|---|
| Material rate | Yes — published | Fixed per CFT or per ton at the listed rate |
| Transportation | No — quoted | Distance to your site, vehicle required, fuel and route |
| Unloading | No — quoted | How the vehicle can tip, and whether anything restricts it |
| Applicable taxes | No — confirmed at quotation | Confirmed with your quotation rather than assumed |
| Site access allowance | No — quoted | Approach road width, gate size, overhead clearance, timing restrictions |
COMPARE DELIVERED PRICES, NOT MATERIAL PRICES
Aggregate is heavy and inexpensive for its weight, which makes moving it a real part of what you pay. The material rate is the part that is published and fixed. Delivery is the part that changes between two buyers ordering the identical stone on the same morning — one five kilometres from the loading point with a wide approach road, the other across the city down a lane a large vehicle cannot enter. So when you ask three suppliers for a price, ask all three for a delivered price to your address. A lower material rate with higher transport can easily cost more than a higher rate delivered nearby, and the quotation that looks cheapest on the price list is not always the one that is.
Why fewer, larger loads usually cost less to deliver
Sending a vehicle to your site costs the same whether it arrives half full or full. Spread that trip across more material and the delivery cost carried by each cubic foot falls; split the same quantity across several small orders and you pay to send a vehicle each time. Where your site has room to stockpile safely, consolidating your 40mm order is usually the single easiest saving available — and it is a saving you arrange by planning, not by negotiating.
Where 40mm Aggregate Is Used
Foundation and footing concrete
Where sections are deep and reinforcement is widely spaced.
Mass and plain cement concrete
Where a larger stone makes up bulk economically.
Soling, sub-base and hardcore
Layers beneath slabs, paving and roads.
Blending with other sizes
Where the mix design calls for a specified grading.
YOUR BIGGEST ORDER ARRIVES AT YOUR WORST ACCESS
Note what those applications have in common: they are early-stage, high-volume work. On a typical residential site the 40mm order is the largest quantity of anything delivered — and it arrives at the point when the approach road, gate and hardstanding are least developed, because none of that has been built yet. Walk the access route before you book the vehicle, not while it is waiting outside. Aggregate size itself is a design decision: it is specified against member thickness, reinforcement spacing and cover, so check your drawings rather than ordering 40mm because it is the coarsest available.

How to Buy 40mm Jelly: Step by Step
Confirm the size against your drawings
Make sure 40mm is what the design specifies before you price anything.
Estimate your quantity in one unit
Work from your concrete or soling volume with your engineer or contractor, and settle on CFT or tons before asking for a price.
Ask for a delivered price
Material rate plus transportation, unloading and applicable taxes, quoted to your actual address.
Check the access route
Approach width, gate clearance, overhead cables, turning space and any timing restrictions — tell the supplier before the vehicle is loaded.
Consolidate where you can
Fewer, fuller loads spread the trip cost across more material, provided you have somewhere safe to stockpile.
Inspect before it is tipped
Look for excessive dust, soil or organic matter, a consistent size through the load, and angular rather than flat pieces. Once a load is tipped into your stockpile it cannot be returned.

How to Enquire, Estimate and Arrange Delivery
1. Work out what you need
Take your quantity from your concrete or soling volume, calculated with your engineer or contractor. Decide whether you are ordering in CFT or tons and stay in that unit throughout, so quotations stay comparable.
2. Send us the details that affect the price
Quantity and unit, your site address, when you need it, and anything that restricts vehicle access. Those four things are what a delivered quotation is built from.
3. Confirm before you commit
We will confirm the current rate, availability, delivery charges and a realistic schedule. You can contact Buildiyo.Store with your requirement, or call the numbers above if it is easier to talk it through.
ORDERING FOR THE WHOLE FOUNDATION?
40mm rarely arrives alone at that stage. Alongside it: buy cement online, river sand price in Chennai, P sand today price, filling soil price and buy TMT steel online. Other sizes are in the Sand & Aggregates collection. Consolidating deliveries usually reduces transport cost per item.
One of Five Cost Components Is Actually Published
The material rate is fixed. Transport, unloading, taxes and access are where two buyers ordering the same stone on the same morning end up paying different totals. Compare delivered, always.

Confirm the Delivered Cost, Not Just the Rate
The 40mm blue metal price in Chennai is easy to look up and easy to compare. The delivered cost is the number that actually leaves your account, and it depends on where you are, how your site is reached and how you phase the order. Settle those three before you place it.
