This is the question every homeowner asks first, and the honest answer is: it depends on three things — kitchen size, layout, and finish level. Here's how each factor moves the number, so you can budget realistically before your site visit.

Factor 1: Kitchen size and layout

Modular kitchens are typically priced per running foot of cabinetry, not per square foot of room area. A straight single-wall kitchen in a 1BHK will naturally cost less than a U-shape or island layout in a larger 3BHK, simply because there's more cabinetry to manufacture and install.

Factor 2: Finish level

This is usually the biggest cost driver after size. As a rough guide:

  • Essential (laminate finish, standard hardware): The most budget-friendly tier, suitable for most first-home kitchens.
  • Premium (acrylic or PU finish, upgraded hardware, some soft-close features): A noticeable step up in look and durability.
  • Luxury (PU or lacquered glass, imported hardware, full soft-close and accessory package): The highest tier, for those prioritizing finish quality and long-term durability above all else.

Factor 3: Accessories and add-ons

Corner units, tall pull-out pantries, built-in appliance housing (for ovens, microwaves), and premium baskets all add to the base cabinetry cost — these are worth budgeting for separately rather than assuming they're automatically included.

A rough indicative range

For context, a straightforward 1BHK kitchen in essential finish typically starts in the range of ₹1.5–2.5 lakh, while a larger 3BHK kitchen in premium or luxury finish with a more complex layout can run significantly higher. These are indicative ranges only — the exact number depends entirely on your actual kitchen dimensions, layout and finish choices, which is why a firm quote should always follow a proper site measurement.

Questions to ask when comparing quotes

  • Is the quote calculated per running foot, and does it specify the exact footage?
  • Does the quoted price include hardware, or is that a separate line item?
  • Is the countertop material and cutout work included?
  • Is installation charged separately from manufacturing?
  • What exactly changes if you upgrade from essential to premium finish?
