Drywall, also known as gypsum board or plasterboard, has become one of the most popular wall and ceiling construction systems in India. From modern homes and luxury apartments to commercial complexes, office interiors, and retail spaces, drywall offers speed, cost-effectiveness, and a smooth finish compared to traditional brick-and-plaster construction. However, accurately estimating drywall costs is essential for successful budgeting, resource allocation, and project scheduling.

Drywall vs. Traditional Plastering Cost in India
Many clients still compare drywall with traditional cement plaster. While plastering costs around ₹50 – ₹80 per sq. ft., drywall provides faster installation, smoother finishes, and better insulation. Over time, drywall proves more cost-effective due to lower labor costs and faster project completion.
Comparing Residential vs Commercial Drywall Costs
Commercial drywall projects are more expensive due to higher wall heights, complex partition layouts, fire-rated walls, and faster execution timelines.
| Project Type | Avg. Cost per Sq. Ft. | Complexity Level |
|---|---|---|
| Residential | ₹90 – ₹140 | Medium |
| Commercial | ₹120 – ₹180 | High |
| Industrial | ₹140 – ₹200+ | Very High |
