Fly ash bricks are generally considered affordable in India, although the price can vary depending on location and other factors. As per the data gathered from various sources:
- The average price for a Fly Ash Block (3.8 kg) is ₹10 per piece.
- Fly Ash Bricks (9x4x3 inch) have an average price of ₹5 per piece.
- The cost of fly ash bricks in different cities in India varies. In Pune, the price is around ₹6 per piece, whereas in Chennai and Hyderabad, it’s approximately ₹8. In Kolkata, it’s around ₹5.
- In Delhi, the cost of fly ash brick is estimated to be between ₹5.3 to ₹5.5 per piece.
- Some sources indicate that fly ash bricks can range between ₹6 – ₹8 per piece.
It’s important to note that the cost of fly ash bricks has increased by over 16% due to high logistics costs and an increase in operating expenses5. There’s also been an impact due to the increase in clay brick rates6.
Fly ash bricks are generally cheaper than red bricks and eliminate the need for further finishing operations, which can save costs in the long run. However, compared to clay bricks, concrete bricks, and blocks (which include fly ash), are slightly more expensive.
