Quick Answer
QUICK ANSWER
Listed prices are ₹46 (4 inch), ₹66 (6 inch), ₹86 (8 inch) and ₹98 (9 inch) per piece, the same across all four brands. Since brand does not change the price, the choice is about availability and batch consistency. Thickness comes from your building design, not from a price comparison — and the listed price is not the delivered cost.

First, a Note on the Name
ACC OR AAC?
These products are AAC blocks — autoclaved aerated concrete. ACC is a cement brand, not a block type, and the two get confused often enough that “ACC block” has become a common way people search for these products. It is worth knowing when you compare quotations: make sure every supplier is quoting AAC blocks so you are comparing the same product. We use both terms here because that is how buyers ask for them.

When Four Brands Share One Price
The table makes something obvious: all four brands carry the same listed price at every thickness. So the usual question — which brand is cheapest — does not decide anything here. Something else has to.
ASK ABOUT BATCH, NOT PRICE
With price equal across brands, the useful question is which brand can supply your whole requirement from one production batch. Block size and shade can vary between production runs, and a wall built from two batches can show the difference once it is plastered. When you enquire, ask about availability against your full quantity rather than simply whether the product is available. If only part can come from one batch, plan which walls take which rather than mixing them on site.
AAC Block Sizes and Prices by Thickness
The same four thicknesses are available across all brands. Usage notes are general industry practice — your actual requirement comes from the building design.
| Thickness | Per piece | Step up | Where it is generally used |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 inch | ₹46 | — | Typically internal partitions, where the design allows |
| 6 inch | ₹66 | +₹20 over 4 inch | A common choice for internal and some external walls |
| 8 inch | ₹86 | +₹20 over 6 inch | Usually external walls |
| 9 inch | ₹98 | +₹12 over 8 inch | External walls where the design specifies it |
Notice the steps. Moving from 4 inch to 6 inch, and from 6 inch to 8 inch, each costs ₹20 for two extra inches — ₹10 per inch. The step from 8 inch to 9 inch costs ₹12 for a single inch, which makes it the steepest step in the range per inch gained. That is worth knowing if the 9 inch option is being considered as a marginal upgrade rather than a design requirement.
How to Calculate the Number of Blocks Required
Block count depends on the face dimensions and the mortar joint, neither of which can be assumed from thickness alone. Ask for the dimensions of the specific product before calculating.
Get the block dimensions
Length, height and thickness for the product you intend to buy.
Measure the wall area
From your drawings, wall by wall, deducting openings for doors and windows.
Work out the face area per block
Length by height, plus the mortar joint — that is the area one block occupies in the wall.
Divide, then add wastage
Wall area divided by face area gives the count. Add an allowance for breakage and cutting at corners and openings.
Ask one more question
Whether the face dimensions are the same across thicknesses. If they are, your block count does not change when you change thickness — only the price per block does, which makes comparing thickness options straightforward.
Comparing thickness options? Ask if face dimensions match
If they do, only the per-block price changes — not your count
What Affects AAC Block Prices?
Raw material and energy costs
Manufacturing is energy-intensive, and input costs feed directly into the rate.
Production and supply
Plant output and regional supply balance affect both availability and price.
Thickness
More material per block means a higher price per piece.
Construction demand and season
Demand typically firms in the dry building months.
Order quantity
Larger orders may be rated differently — worth asking about rather than assuming.
Delivery distance and site access
Distance, load size and whether the vehicle can reach the unloading point.
Taxes
GST at the prevailing rate, confirmed on the quotation.

AAC Blocks vs Traditional Bricks
AAC blocks and fired clay bricks are both used for walls, and the practical differences show up in laying speed, mortar use, weight and how the wall takes fixings and chasing. In a framed house the walls are infill rather than load-bearing, so those practical factors usually matter more than strength comparisons. Which suits your project is a design question — confirm it with your architect or structural engineer. Browse both in the bricks and blocks collection.
What to Check Before Buying AAC Blocks
- The specification your design requires — thickness and any other requirement, confirmed with your engineer.
- Block dimensions for the specific product, before calculating quantities.
- Availability against your full requirement, not just whether stock exists.
- The delivered cost, including transport, unloading and taxes.
- Condition on arrival — check for broken or chipped blocks before unloading.
- Storage on site — level ground, away from traffic, protected from rain.
Comparing and Confirming Your Order
Confirm the specification
Thickness and any requirement from your drawings before comparing anything.
Estimate the quantity
Using the method above, with a wastage allowance.
Calculate material cost
Block count multiplied by the listed price for your chosen thickness.
Ask for the delivered figure
Product, transport, unloading and taxes — the number that actually matters.
Check site access before dispatch
So the vehicle can reach the unloading point on the day.
Verify on delivery
Count, thickness and condition against the order before the load is accepted.

Four Brands, One Price — So Ask a Different Question
