Three calculations, one tool
The Suppliable Cement Calculator covers the three jobs Chennai contractors estimate most often:
- Plastering — wall area × thickness × mix ratio (1:4 internal, 1:6 external). Returns bags of cement + cft of sand.
- Columns & beams — L × W × H × grade (M20/M25/M30). Returns bags + sand + aggregate.
- RCC roof slab — L × W × thickness × grade. Same outputs, sized for slab pours.
All three use the 1.54 dry-volume factor and Indian standard mix ratios. For a worked example, see How Many Cement Bags for a 1000 sqft RCC Slab.
Chennai cement prices (June 2026)
| Brand | Type | Chennai price (50 kg bag) |
|---|---|---|
| UltraTech | PPC | ₹410-420 |
| Ramco | PPC | ₹400-410 |
| Dalmia | PPC | ₹395-405 |
| India Cements | PPC | ₹390-400 |
Tamil Nadu has the lowest cement prices in India because Ramco, Chettinad, Dalmia and India Cements all run plants within 400 km of Chennai. The calculator uses live pricing — you get the actual delivered cost, not retail MRP.
