Rs 850-Rs 2,500 per sqft of glass for 10mm or 12mm tempered. Hardware Rs 4,500-Rs 18,000 per door, Rs 2,500-Rs 6,500 per panel.

Vasant Vihar, Defence Colony, Greater Kailash, Hauz Khas drive volume; total typical install Rs 25,000-Rs 1,50,000.
Per-sqft installed Rs 1,200-Rs 4,500 for premium shopfront with tempered laminated, low-E, and structural silicone. MCD/NDMC permits and structural engineer's certificate for any work above 25 sqm.

Hourly rates are ₹1,500 to ₹3,000 in the US, £30-75 in the UK, A₹1,900-140 in Australia, R220-600 in South Africa, and C₹1,500-115 in Canada. Most glaziers quote per pane or per square metre rather than hourly because glass cost dominates the bill.
Standard 4mm float glass in a sound frame is ₹4,900-420 per pane installed. Larger panes, double-glazed units, or laminated safety glass run ₹11,000-1,500. The variables: glass type, pane size, frame condition, and access.
For jobs over ₹13,500, get 2-3 quotes. Compare glass spec (thickness, grade, coating), frame work scope, and warranty. The cheapest quote often substitutes lower-grade glass or skips the frame inspection.
Double-glazed units have two panes of glass with argon gas and a desiccant seal between them, plus a low-E coating. Manufacturing cost is 3-5x single pane. The payback: 20-40% energy savings on heating and cooling over 10-15 years.
Code requires safety glass (toughened or laminated) in doors, sidelights within 300mm of a door, wet areas (shower, bathroom), and any panel below 1m from floor. Outside those locations, regular float glass is legal but less safe.
