Most families in Mumbai spend between ₹1.5 lakh and ₹3 lakh on a modular kitchen for a typical 1BHK or 2BHK flat. The price depends far more on the materials and hardware you pick than on the size of the kitchen.
Price per square foot
Kitchen makers usually price cabinets per square foot of shutter area (the front surface you see). In Mumbai and Thane in 2026, expect roughly:
| फिनिश | Approx. cost per sq ft |
|---|---|
| Laminate on BWR plywood | ₹1,400 – ₹1,900 |
| Laminate on BWP (waterproof) plywood | ₹1,700 – ₹2,200 |
| Acrylic or high-gloss shutters | ₹2,000 – ₹2,600 |
| PU / lacquer finish | ₹2,400 – ₹3,200 |
A standard L-shaped kitchen in a 2BHK has about 90–120 sq ft of shutter area including lofts, which is how most kitchens end up in the ₹1.5–3 lakh range.
What changes the price
- Board: waterproof BWP plywood costs more than BWR or MDF, but lasts much longer under the sink.
- Hardware: soft-close hinges and drawer channels, tandem boxes and corner units can add ₹20,000–₹60,000.
- Shutter finish: acrylic and PU cost more than laminate and need more care.
- Countertop: granite is usually separate from the carpentry price.
- Lofts and tall units: extra storage adds area and therefore cost.
How to save money
- Use BWP plywood only for the sink base and BWR for the rest.
- Choose laminate shutters — they are tough and easy to clean.
- Spend on good hinges and channels rather than on fancy handles.
- Hire on labour basis if you can buy the material yourself.
Questions to ask before you order
- Which brand and grade of plywood and laminate will be used?
- Which hinge and channel brand, and is it soft-close?
- Is the countertop, sink and chimney cut-out included?
- What is the warranty on workmanship?
