Website Development Cost in India: A 2026 Breakdown

From a ₹15,000 template to a ₹5,00,000 custom build, here's what a website really costs in India and where your money goes.

"How much does a website cost in India?" has the same honest answer as "how much does a house cost?" — it depends entirely on what you're building. Here's a real breakdown for 2026.

By type of site

Landing page / one-pager — ₹15,000 – ₹60,000. A single scrolling page: hero, about, offer, contact. Perfect for a launch, a campaign, or a small service business. Fast to build, cheap to run.

Business website — ₹60,000 – ₹2,50,000. 5–10 pages, a CMS so you can edit content, blog, contact and enquiry flows, real SEO. This is the standard for most companies.

E-commerce store — ₹1,50,000 – ₹6,00,000+. Product pages, cart, secure payments, inventory, order management. Price scales with catalogue size and custom features.

Web app / SaaS — ₹4,00,000+. Custom functionality, accounts, dashboards, a database and backend. This is software, not a brochure — priced accordingly.

What actually drives the price

  • Custom vs template. A template site is fast and cheap but generic and limiting. A custom-coded site costs more and is faster, more distinctive and easier to scale.
  • Design depth. A themed template vs a bespoke design built from your brand.
  • Functionality. Forms and content are cheap; bookings, payments, logins and integrations add real engineering.
  • Content & SEO. A site that's built to rank (fast, structured, on-page SEO) is worth more than one that just looks nice.

The hidden costs people forget

Hosting, a domain, maintenance, and content. A ₹40,000 site with no maintenance plan and no content is often a worse deal than a ₹1,00,000 site that's fast, editable and actually gets found.

How to decide

Match the build to the job. Don't buy a ₹4-lakh custom app when a ₹40,000 landing page would convert your traffic. And don't cripple a real business on a ₹15,000 template that can't grow.
