What affects lift price? Floors and travel, capacity, number of stops, door configuration, controller, traction machine, cabin finish, safety features and site conditions can all affect the final lift price.

How much does a lift cost by floors?

The cost of a lift depends partly on the number of floors and the total travel distance. A lift for a G+1 house can have a significantly different specification from a lift serving G+3, G+5 or G+10 buildings.

Additional stops, higher travel, larger capacities, automatic doors, premium cabin finishes and specialised safety requirements can increase the overall project cost.

What determines lift price?

  • Number of floors and stops
  • Lift capacity and passenger load
  • Home, passenger, commercial or hospital application
  • Automatic, telescopic, manual or glass doors
  • MRL or conventional traction system
  • Cabin interior and finishing level
  • Shaft dimensions, pit and headroom
  • Site conditions and installation requirements

Indicative Lift Cost by Building Floors

Use these ranges as an initial planning reference. Actual prices vary according to specifications.

Building Typical Application Typical Capacity Indicative Cost
G+1 Home / Small Residential 4–6 Persons ₹4.4L onwards*
G+2 Home / Residential 4–8 Persons ₹5L – ₹8L*
G+3 Home / Residential 4–10 Persons ₹6L – ₹10L*
G+4 Residential / Commercial 6–10 Persons ₹7L – ₹12L*
G+5 Residential / Commercial 8–13 Persons ₹8L – ₹14L*
G+6+ Apartment / Commercial 8–15+ Persons Project specific*

Lift cost for G+1 buildings

G+1 buildings generally require fewer stops and shorter travel. For independent homes and small residential buildings, home lifts or compact passenger lifts may be considered depending on the available shaft and usage.

Lift cost for G+2 and G+3 buildings

For G+2 and G+3 buildings, lift selection usually depends on passenger capacity, number of users, shaft dimensions, door configuration and expected traffic. Residential, villa and small apartment projects can have different requirements.

Lift cost for G+4 and higher buildings

As building height increases, lift travel, number of stops, traffic requirements and technical specifications become increasingly important. Apartment and commercial projects may require larger passenger capacities and different traffic-handling specifications.

An online calculator can provide a useful budgetary estimate, but a project quotation should consider shaft dimensions, pit depth, headroom, floor-to-floor height, electrical supply, doors, cabin design, machine, controller and site installation conditions.

Lift Cost Calculator – Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a lift cost for a G+1 building?

A G+1 lift can vary substantially depending on whether it is a home lift or passenger elevator, its capacity, doors, cabin finish and installation requirements. Use the calculator above for an indicative starting range.

How much does a lift cost for a G+2 building?

The cost of a G+2 lift depends on the number of stops, capacity, travel distance, doors, lift system and specifications. The calculator provides an indicative range for planning.

How much does a lift cost for a G+3 building?

A G+3 project can use different lift specifications depending on whether it is an independent home, apartment, commercial building or another application. Capacity and finish can materially change the price.

Does lift price increase with the number of floors?

Additional floors can increase travel distance and the number of stops, which may increase equipment and installation costs. However, the exact impact depends on the lift design and specification.

Does the calculator give the final quotation?

No. The calculator provides an indicative planning estimate. A final quotation should be prepared after confirming the technical specifications and site conditions.

Is GST included in the lift cost?

GST and other applicable charges should be confirmed in the detailed quotation. Civil work, electrical work, ARD and special site requirements may also be additional depending on the project.

Can Volo Lifts provide a detailed quotation?
