What a business website should cost in India in 2026
Short answer: in 2026 a credible five-page Indian business website costs ₹25,000–₹60,000, an eCommerce store ₹60,000–₹2,00,000, and anything under ₹10,000 usually means a rented template you do not own.

Website quotes in India range from ₹3,000 to ₹5,00,000 for what sounds like the same deliverable. The difference is almost never the number of pages — it is ownership, performance and the work behind the homepage.
What the cheap tier really is
Below roughly ₹10,000 you are usually buying a template installed on a shared host, with a stock theme, no performance work and a domain registered in someone else's name. It can be fine as a placeholder. It rarely ranks and it is hard to leave.
The work that actual budget buys
Message hierarchy and copy structure. Mobile-first layouts. Image and font discipline for Core Web Vitals. Schema markup. Redirect mapping. Analytics and conversion tracking. Accessibility checks. A handover document. None of that appears in a ₹5,000 invoice because none of it fits in a ₹5,000 schedule.
A sane 2026 range
Five-page business site: ₹25,000–₹60,000. eCommerce with 100 products, UPI and COD: ₹60,000–₹2,00,000. Custom dashboard or portal: ₹1,50,000 upward. Monthly SEO retainer: ₹15,000–₹40,000 depending on market competitiveness. Ongoing care: ₹2,000–₹6,000.
Questions to ask before you pay
Whose name is the domain in? Will I get the code and design files? What happens if I stop paying? Which performance score will you guarantee at launch, and on which device? Who owns the Google Ads and Analytics accounts? A vendor who answers all five clearly is worth a premium.
