Benchmarks & Published Data
- Livspace shows interior packages that include living, kitchen & bedroom components in 2BHK homes in metro areas.
- DesignCafé notes many 2BHK interior projects fall in ₹3 lakhs to ₹10+ lakhs range depending on finish quality.
- Amor Design reports that in Delhi NCR, mid-level interiors often cost ₹1,200 to ₹2,500 per sq ft.
These help frame what “low budget” aims for: toward the lower end of typical ranges.
Estimated Cost Range for Low Budget 2BHK
Assume 2BHK area ~ 800 – 1,100 sq ft:
| Rate (₹ / sq ft) | Base Estimate | With 10–15% Buffer |
|---|---|---|
| ₹900 | ₹7,20,000 – ₹9,90,000 | ~ ₹7,92,000 – ₹11,39,000 |
| ₹1,000 | ₹8,00,000 – ₹11,00,000 | ~ ₹8,80,000 – ₹12,65,000 |
| ₹1,200 | ₹9,60,000 – ₹13,20,000 | ~ ₹10,56,000 – ₹15,18,000 |
If you tighten the scope (simpler materials, fewer custom units), you might aim nearer to ₹6,50,000 – ₹8,50,000 for smaller 2BHKs.
