TV Unit Design Cost in India: Ready-Made, Built-In and Full TV Wall

A TV unit in India costs about ₹1,790 to ₹50,000 as a ready-made console from IKEA India, Urban Ladder or Wooden Street (₹91,200 for IKEA's largest BESTÅ wall combination), about ₹8,000 to ₹66,000 for a carpenter-made 8 ft floating console, and about ₹27,000 to ₹2.7 lakh for a full 10 ft TV wall with panelling, lighting and wiring, GST included. Four things move the price most: how much front area you build, the board and finish, how much wall you panel behind the screen, and the lighting.

Below, each option is priced line by line in budget, mid and premium tiers, with how carpenters quote, what GST applies and what quotes leave out.

About the numbers below: ready-made prices are the listed prices on IKEA India, Urban Ladder and Wooden Street, read on 29 Oct 2026; sale prices change often. Carpentry, panel and lighting rates are market ranges published by DesignCafe (10 Feb 2026), Spacewood, NoBroker (28 Jul 2026) and Studio Matrx (Oct 2026), plus seller listings on IndiaMART and Urban Company's rate pages, all read on 29 Oct 2026. Most of these sources do not say whether GST is included. The worked examples are our arithmetic on those rates, with quantities we chose; they are illustrations, not quotes. The GST rates are from the GST Council.

This is the cost companion to our planned guides on TV unit design for the living room and on TV units for bedrooms and small halls, which cover types, heights and wiring. Our planned wall panel guide (PVC, fluted, wood and WPC) has the full panel rates used here.

These are listed prices on 29 Oct 2026. Where a store showed a sale price, we give that and note the MRP. IKEA India marks its prices "incl. of all taxes" on its product pages; Urban Ladder's and Wooden Street's listing pages did not say.

Store	Budget	Mid	Premium
IKEA India	BAGGEBO, 90 cm metal, ₹1,790; LACK, 120 cm, ₹4,990; LACK, 160 cm, ₹6,990	BRIMNES, 180 cm with drawers, ₹11,990; BESTÅ BURS, 180 cm, ₹26,990	BESTÅ with doors, 240 cm, ₹32,000 (regular ₹34,000); BESTÅ wall combination with glass doors, 300 x 231 cm, ₹91,200
Urban Ladder	Liam, engineered wood, ₹3,999 (MRP ₹8,199); Bayern, ₹7,999	Celestin XL, ₹16,999; Linnea, solid wood, ₹20,999	Dorian, ceramic top, ₹43,999; Tavo, solid wood, ₹49,999
Wooden Street	Radiant, engineered wood, ₹3,999 (MRP ₹11,999)	Hailey, wall-mounted, ₹12,999; Melvina, sheesham, ₹24,999	Eka, mango wood, ₹35,999; Hamona, mango wood, ₹36,999

Pepperfry's site refused our requests on 29 Oct 2026, so we have no Pepperfry prices to report. Two things to budget on top: delivery, and assembly. IKEA India's assembly service costs ₹3,500 for products worth up to ₹50,000. IKEA also says the 180 cm BESTÅ bench we checked must not be hung on the wall, so a "floating" look from a ready-made piece needs a unit sold as wall-mountable.

TV unit design cost per square foot: how carpenters quote

A built TV unit is quoted in one of four ways, and comparing two quotes only works once both use the same one.

Per sq ft of front. Studio Matrx's custom furniture estimator (Oct 2026) describes carpenter-made furniture priced by the square foot of the unit's front, or elevation, with board, finish, edge-banding and labour rolled into the rate. It adds hardware on top at a default of 12%, and notes that Hettich or Blum-grade fittings push that higher.
Per running ft. Common for consoles and kitchens. It is the same thing at a fixed height: a 15-inch-high console at ₹1,200 per sq ft of front works out to ₹1,500 per running ft (our arithmetic). Ask what height and depth the rate assumes.
Per sq ft of panel. Wall panelling is priced on the wall area covered, with fitting labour often separate.
Per unit. Design-and-build firms often give one figure for the whole TV unit.

Rates by material. DesignCafe's TV unit material guide (10 Feb 2026) gives ₹600 to ₹1,000 per sq ft for engineered wood (MDF or particle board), ₹1,200 to ₹2,000 for plywood with laminate, ₹2,500 to ₹5,000 for solid wood, ₹2,000 to ₹3,000 for glass with metal and ₹3,000 to ₹6,000 for marble or stone. It does not say whether GST or fitting is included. We apply these rates to front area in the examples below, which is our assumption.

What sellers ask. On IndiaMART's designer TV unit listings (updated 29 Oct 2026), 13 sellers quoting by the square foot asked ₹250 to ₹2,000, leaving out one listing at ₹99.99, with the middle of the list around ₹1,000. Those are asking prices, not verified quotes, and few say what is included.

Carpenter-made floating console

Take an 8 ft console with a 15-inch-high front: 10 sq ft. With 12% hardware and 18% GST (if a firm bills it), that is about ₹7,900 to ₹13,200 in engineered wood with laminate, ₹15,900 to ₹26,400 in plywood with laminate and ₹33,000 to ₹66,100 in solid wood (our arithmetic on DesignCafe's rates).

NoBroker's floating TV unit guide (28 Jul 2026) prices whole jobs higher: ₹8,000 to ₹20,000 for a minimal floating shelf and ₹25,000 to ₹60,000 for a floating unit with closed storage. Its figures are for complete designed units of unstated size, while ours count only the carpentry and hardware on 10 sq ft, which explains much of the gap.

Full TV wall cost: a 10 ft wall, line by line

Our worked example is a 10 x 9 ft wall: an 8 ft floating console, a 2 ft wide side display unit 7 ft tall, and 60 sq ft of panel behind the TV. Quantities are ours; every rate is published.

To-scale elevation of a 10 by 9 ft TV wall with a floating 8 ft console, a 2 ft wide side display unit, a fluted back panel, a 55-inch TV, an LED strip and a wiring conduit, next to a bar chart of each line's cost in the mid tier: console Rs 12,000 to 20,000, side unit Rs 16,800 to 28,000, hardware Rs 3,500 to 5,800, back panel Rs 9,000 to 24,000, panel fitting Rs 1,200 to 9,000, LED Rs 3,000 to 8,000, wiring labour about Rs 900, wall mount Rs 2,000 to 5,000 and GST Rs 8,700 to 18,100, totalling about Rs 57,000 to 1.19 lakh — Where the money goes on a mid-tier 10 ft TV wall: the carpentry and the panel behind the screen are most of the bill, and GST adds 18% on top. Diagram: MOA

Line	Budget	Mid	Premium
Console and side unit, 24 sq ft of front	₹14,400 to ₹24,000 (engineered wood)	₹28,800 to ₹48,000 (plywood, laminate)	₹60,000 to ₹1.2 lakh (solid wood)
Hardware at 12%	₹1,700 to ₹2,900	₹3,500 to ₹5,800	₹7,200 to ₹14,400
Back panel, 60 sq ft	₹3,000 to ₹9,000 (PVC)	₹9,000 to ₹24,000 (laminated MDF)	₹15,000 to ₹72,000 (fluted veneer or wood)
Panel fitting	₹1,200 to ₹3,000	₹1,200 to ₹9,000	₹1,200 to ₹9,000
LED back-light	none	₹3,000 to ₹8,000	₹3,000 to ₹8,000
Wiring in conduit, labour	about ₹900	about ₹900	about ₹900
Wall mount and fixing	₹2,000 to ₹5,000	₹2,000 to ₹5,000	₹2,000 to ₹5,000
Before GST	₹23,200 to ₹44,800	₹48,400 to ₹1.01 lakh	₹89,300 to ₹2.29 lakh
With 18% GST	₹27,400 to ₹52,800	₹57,100 to ₹1.19 lakh	₹1.05 to ₹2.71 lakh

NoBroker's whole-job ranges sit in the same bands: ₹45,000 to ₹1.4 lakh for a TV wall with floating shelves, ₹55,000 to ₹1.5 lakh for a fluted panel unit, ₹80,000 to ₹1.8 lakh for a full-wall storage unit and ₹80,000 to ₹2 lakh for a marble panel unit.

Panelling behind the TV

DesignCafe's wall panelling cost guide (10 Feb 2026) gives ₹50 to ₹350 per sq ft for PVC with ₹20 to ₹50 for installation, ₹150 to ₹400 for MDF, ₹200 to ₹600 for WPC and ₹500 to ₹2,500 for wooden panels, and says labour typically adds ₹20 to ₹150 per sq ft. Spacewood gives ₹50 to ₹150 for PVC, ₹150 to ₹400 for laminate on MDF and ₹250 to ₹1,200 for fluted wood, depending on the veneer. These are the figures our planned wall panel guide uses too. On a TV wall, keep one panel near the screen removable so the conduit can be reached later.

Back-lit niche and LED strip

The strip itself is cheap: Fybros lists a 5 m roll of 12 W strip at an MRP of ₹880 (Fybros, Feb 2026). The driver, the aluminium profile that hides the dots and the electrician's time are what add up; we found no published price for drivers or profiles. NoBroker puts LED lighting at ₹3,000 to ₹8,000 per installation, which is the figure we use.

Wiring, conduit and the wall mount

Urban Company's Bangalore electrician page lists internal wiring at ₹269 per 5 m and a TV socket at ₹89, so 15 m of wiring and one socket is about ₹900 in labour. The page does not say materials are included, so conduit, wire and sockets are extra. A TV installation starts at ₹399 on its TV service page, varying with screen size.

Brackets themselves are inexpensive. IndiaMART's TV bracket listings (updated 29 Oct 2026) show a flat mount for 26 to 63 inch TVs at ₹150 and swivel mounts from ₹700 to ₹2,000. NoBroker allows ₹2,000 to ₹5,000 for wall drilling and bracket installation, which we use for the worked example.

GST on a TV unit

Ready-made furniture: wooden furniture under HSN 9403 continues at 18% after the September 2025 rate changes (Tally Solutions, 2 Jun 2026). The 56th GST Council's list of changes, effective 22 Sep 2025, names furniture wholly of bamboo, cane or rattan, not ordinary wooden furniture. At IKEA India the listed price already includes taxes.
A firm that supplies and fits: fitting out a home with materials passing to you is a works contract, taxed at 18% (GST Council). On our mid-tier wall, that is ₹8,700 to ₹18,100.
Labour-only carpenter: if you buy the board, laminate and hardware yourself, GST is already in those prices. Before accepting GST on the labour bill, check that the carpenter's invoice shows a GSTIN (our guidance).

What TV unit quotes leave out

Hardware. Channels, soft-close hinges and handles are often outside a per-sq-ft rate; Studio Matrx allows 12%.
Panel fitting and backer board. DesignCafe's ₹20 to ₹150 per sq ft for labour is on top of the panel rate.
Electrical work. Conduit, wiring, sockets and the LED driver usually sit with the electrician, not the carpenter.
Mounting the TV. Bracket, drilling and fixing, ₹2,000 to ₹5,000 by NoBroker's figure.
GST. Ask every firm to show it as a separate line.
Delivery and assembly for ready-made pieces, such as IKEA's ₹3,500 for orders up to ₹50,000.
Design fee, wall repair and repainting after the old unit comes off (our guidance). Our interior designer fees guide explains how fees are charged.

TV unit design with low price: where to save

These are our suggestions, using the rates above:

Shorten the console. Front area drives carpentry cost, so a 6 ft console costs about three-quarters of an 8 ft one at the same rate.
Paint instead of panelling. On our mid-tier wall, the panel and its fitting are ₹10,200 to ₹33,000 before GST.
Choose laminate over solid wood, which roughly halves the carpentry rate by DesignCafe's figures.
Skip the LED and light the wall from the ceiling.
Mix: a ready-made console with a painted or PVC-panelled wall behind it.

FAQ

What is the TV unit design cost per square foot?

DesignCafe gives ₹600 to ₹1,000 per sq ft of unit for engineered wood, ₹1,200 to ₹2,000 for plywood with laminate and ₹2,500 to ₹5,000 for solid wood. Ask whether the rate is per sq ft of front, and whether hardware, fitting and GST are included.

What is the TV unit price in India?

Ready-made consoles listed on 29 Oct 2026 ranged from ₹1,790 (IKEA BAGGEBO) to ₹49,999 (Urban Ladder Tavo), with IKEA's 300 cm BESTÅ wall combination at ₹91,200. Built units cost more: about ₹8,000 to ₹66,000 for an 8 ft console and ₹27,000 to ₹2.7 lakh for a full 10 ft wall, in our worked examples.

What does a PVC TV unit design cost?

PVC is usually the panel behind the TV, not the console. DesignCafe gives ₹50 to ₹350 per sq ft plus ₹20 to ₹50 for installation, so 60 sq ft is about ₹4,200 to ₹24,000 fitted. The console is still priced as carpentry.

Is a carpenter-made TV unit cheaper than a ready-made one?

Not usually at the low end: a ₹4,990 IKEA LACK costs less than any built console in our examples. Carpenter work wins when you need an odd length, a floating unit or storage that fills the wall.

Does a TV unit quote include GST?

Often not. A firm that supplies and fits charges 18% as a works contract, so ask for GST as a separate line. Ready-made prices at IKEA India already include taxes.
