How Much Does It Cost to Install a Water Tank?

On average, the cost to install a water tank in India starts at Rs. 800. However, based on several factors, it may reach Rs. 11,000 or even higher. The actual rates depend on your location, installation complexity, the size of your tank, labor rates in your area, and the material you choose for your water tank.

How Much Does It Cost to Install a Water Tank in India?

Last summer, when my old water tank began to leak, I decided it was time to replace it. But I had no idea how much the full setup, including the tank and plumbing, would cost. After researching and getting the quotes from a few plumbers, I understood that the average cost of installing a water tank depends on the following factors:

• One important consideration will be the tank's volume and material (plastic, RCC, and stainless steel).

  • A plastic tank is an affordable water tank.

  • Tanks made of Reinforced Cement Concrete, or RCC, are more expensive but stronger.

  • Although stainless steel tanks last longer, they are far more expensive.

• Depending on where you live, labor and material costs can change. It is due to local taxes, labor, and shipping costs.

• Overhead water tank installation charges are less compared to underground water tanks.

  • An overhead tank comprises base work, fittings, and plumbing. 

  • Underground tank installation rates include charges for soil disposal, materials, labor, the local municipality permit fees, plumbing, and additional work.

As I got the lowest quote from NoBroker Plumber to install an overhead tank of 1000 litres, I availed their service. It costs me Rs. 960. In this, major masonry work was not included.

On average, the water tank installation cost in India starts around Rs. 9,500. This I came to know a week ago, when I was looking for the tank installation for my new home in Bangalore. However, the pricing I shared can go up because of several factors. Some of them include the tank material and type, your water tank capacity, etc. Read on to get the pricing I recently found out with a few contractors.

How much does it Cost for Water Tank Installation?

The cost of installing a water tank usually varies between Rs. 9,500 and Rs. 16,000. Okay, so this average pricing I got during the call with a few plumbers. This includes both the tank price and expert installation fees. 

The tank will cost you a minimum of Rs. 7000 and the installation service will start on average at Rs. 1500. This will vary depending on the following factors apart from the one I mentioned above.

• Definitely your location 

• Complexity of the installation site

• Additional components if required (like pumps, filters, etc.)

I finally planned to check for the professional’s rating, and negotiate with the pricing before finalising. But, I got the affordable deal as of now from the link below. 

I hope this helps you give a rough estimate of how much does it cost to install a water tank.
