Typical price range in 2026
As of 2026, balcony safety nets in most Indian cities cost between ₹15 and ₹35 per square foot installed. A standard single balcony (around 100 sq.ft) typically comes to ₹1,500-₹3,500 depending on mesh tightness and anchoring method.
Mesh tightness changes the price
General-purpose balcony netting at 3-4 inch spacing is the cheapest option. Children's safety nets at 1.5-2 inch tight weave cost more per sq.ft since more material is used per square foot of coverage. Pet-safety netting sits in between, using a tight weave similar to child safety but without the extra floor-sealing work children's nets require.
Drilled vs clamp/no-drill fitting
A standard drilled anchor fitting is the cheapest and most secure option for owned properties. A clamp-based no-drill fitting for rental properties typically adds ₹1,500-₹3,000 to the base price, since it needs a more elaborate frame to achieve similar tension without permanent anchors.
Other factors that change your quote
Balcony height and access (a 15th floor balcony vs ground floor), whether old netting needs removal first, and whether you're bundling the job with invisible grills or cloth-drying hangers in the same visit all affect the final price.
How to compare two net quotes fairly
Ask for the exact mesh gap size in inches, the anchoring method (drilled vs clamp), and whether floor-level sealing is included for child or pet safety nets — a quote that skips floor sealing is usually cheaper for a reason.

Frequently asked questions
Are children's safety nets more expensive than standard nets?+
Yes, because the tighter weave uses more material per square foot and requires more careful floor-level sealing, children's safety nets typically cost slightly more than general-purpose balcony netting.
Does the price include removal of an old net?+
Not by default; removal of an existing net or grille is usually quoted as a small additional line item during the site visit.
Is a written quote necessary for net installation?+
Yes, always get a written quote specifying mesh size, anchoring method and warranty terms before work begins.
