Quick answer: In India, a rolling shutter usually costs ₹130 to ₹900 per sq ft in 2026, depending on material and operation. A manual GI (galvanised) shutter is the most affordable at about ₹130–260 per sq ft. Aluminium, polycarbonate and puff-insulated shutters cost more. A motor adds roughly ₹12,000 to ₹60,000+ per shutter. GST, installation and side fittings are often quoted separately.
Below you will find per sq ft rates for every common type, a simple way to calculate your own shutter cost, and a checklist to compare quotations properly.
These are indicative market ranges based on Indian supplier listings and published 2026 price bands. Rates usually apply to the opening area and vary by city, quantity and thickness.
| Rolling shutter type | Indicative price (₹ per sq ft, ex-GST) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| GI / MS manual (push-pull) | 130 – 260 | Shops, godowns, small openings |
| GI gear-operated (chain or handle) | 180 – 320 | Larger or heavier shutters without power |
| GI motorised (automatic) | 280 – 500 | Showrooms, warehouses, frequent use |
| Galvalume rolling shutter | 200 – 350 | Better corrosion resistance than plain GI |
| Aluminium rolling shutter | 250 – 550 | Lightweight, coastal and humid areas |
| Grill / perforated rolling shutter | 220 – 450 | Malls and showrooms needing visibility and airflow |
| Polycarbonate rolling shutter | 300 – 650 | Retail fronts that need display plus security |
| Puff / foam insulated rolling shutter | 450 – 900 | Cold rooms, temperature-controlled areas |
| Fire-rated rolling shutter | On quotation (premium) | Fire compartments, as required by fire NOC |

Use this simple formula:
Total cost = (width × height in feet) × rate per sq ft + motor + accessories + installation + GST
Example: A 10 ft × 10 ft opening is 100 sq ft. At ₹220 per sq ft for a GI shutter, the shutter costs about ₹22,000. If you add a motor at around ₹25,000, the total before GST and installation is roughly ₹47,000. A manual version of the same shutter would stay close to ₹22,000.
For wide industrial openings, suppliers may quote by the piece instead of per sq ft, because heavier slats, larger springs and a bigger motor are needed.
| Motor type | Indicative price (₹) | Suitable for |
|---|---|---|
| Tubular motor with remote | 12,000 – 35,000 | Shop and small to medium shutters |
| Side-mounted / heavy-duty motor | 25,000 – 60,000+ | Large commercial and industrial shutters |
An existing manual shutter can often be converted to a motorised one. Read our guide to rolling shutter motor types to choose the right motor.
The most popular choice for shops, godowns and factories. Zinc coating protects the steel from rust. Common slat thickness is around 0.8 mm (about 21–22 gauge) for shops and 1.0–1.2 mm for heavier commercial use. See galvanised rolling shutters.
Galvalume steel is coated with an aluminium-zinc alloy that resists corrosion better than plain galvanising, especially in humid areas. It costs slightly more than GI but lasts longer. See galvalume rolling shutters and our galvalume guide.
Aluminium is about half the weight of steel and does not rust, so it suits coastal cities and homes. It is easier to motorise because the curtain is lighter. See aluminium rolling shutters.
These let customers see inside after hours while keeping the shop secure. Grill shutters allow airflow; polycarbonate gives a clean, transparent look. See grill rolling shutters and polycarbonate rolling shutters.
Double-skin slats filled with insulating foam reduce heat transfer and noise. They are used for cold rooms and temperature-controlled areas. See GI puff insulated rolling shutters.
Fire shutters are tested to hold back fire for a rated period and close automatically on a fire signal. Certification and testing make them costlier, so they are priced on quotation. See fire-rated rolling shutters.
Two quotes at the same rate can differ a lot in thickness and fittings. A low rate with thin slats often costs more later in repairs.
Clean the guide channels, lubricate the springs and check the motor limits every few months. Do not force a jammed shutter. Follow our rolling shutter maintenance checklist to prevent breakdowns. For a full overview of types, read our rolling shutter types guide.

Yes, most manual rolling shutters can be motorised if the curtain and guides are in good condition. A technician checks the weight and size and fits a suitable motor.
Around 0.8 mm is common for shop shutters, while 1.0 to 1.2 mm is preferred for larger commercial and industrial openings that need more strength and security.
