Quick answer: Artificial grass in Mumbai costs between ₹60 and ₹250 per square foot, fully installed, depending on pile height, fibre density, and the grade of turf you choose. A standard 300 sq ft balcony or terrace typically costs ₹18,000–₹45,000, while a premium 4-tone plush lawn like Turf8’s Ultra 60 can run higher due to its denser fibre and finish. The final price also depends on ground preparation, drainage work, and whether the base is a terrace, podium, or open soil.
Below is a full breakdown so you know exactly what you’re paying for before you get a quote.
Why Artificial Grass Prices Vary So Much in Mumbai
If you’ve searched around, you’ve probably seen prices anywhere from ₹18 to ₹250 per sq ft – which understandably feels confusing. That range exists because “artificial grass” isn’t one product. Price depends on:
- Pile height (thickness): taller, denser blades cost more to manufacture and feel more like real grass underfoot.
- Fibre material and quality: PE (polyethylene) fibre looks softer and more natural and lasts longer than cheaper PP (polypropylene) fibre, which tends to flatten and fade faster in Mumbai’s sun and humidity.
- Colour blend: single-tone green looks artificial; multi-tone blends (which mimic real lawn variation) cost more.
- Base and installation: a bare terrace, a podium garden, and open soil each need different ground prep, and that labour is usually where “cheap” quotes hide extra charges later.
- Roll vs. tile format and wastage: irregular balcony or garden shapes create cutting wastage that affects the final per-sq-ft cost.
This is also why a rock-bottom IndiaMART quote of ₹18–30/sq ft and a premium landscaping quote of ₹150–250/sq ft can both be technically “artificial grass” – they’re not comparable products.
Artificial Grass Price by Type (2026 Mumbai Rates)
| Grade / Pile Height | Typical Price Range | Best For |
| Budget (10–20mm, PP fibre) | ₹18–₹45/sq ft | Temporary use, tight budgets, low-traffic areas |
| Mid-range (25–35mm) | ₹45–₹90/sq ft | Balconies, small gardens, everyday residential use |
| Premium landscape turf (35–45mm, multi-tone PE) | ₹90–₹160/sq ft | Villas, terraces, hospitality spaces, rooftop gardens |
| Ultra-premium plush turf (45–60mm, 3–4 tone) | ₹160–₹250+/sq ft | Feature lawns, luxury villas, resorts, showcase landscapes |
For reference, Turf8’s landscape range spans exactly this spectrum – Ultra 35 for a balanced everyday lawn, Ultra 45 for a denser premium finish, and Ultra 60, India’s first 60mm plush landscaping turf, for projects where visual impact matters most. See the full range →

Cost by Space Type
Balconies & terraces (100–400 sq ft): Usually the most cost-efficient per sq ft since installation is straightforward on a flat, dry surface. Expect ₹18,000–₹60,000 depending on grade.
Rooftop & podium gardens: Often needs waterproofing checks and a drainage layer before turf goes down – this is the step most cheap installers skip, and it’s what causes water pooling or smell after the monsoon. Budget extra for this prep, not just the turf.
Private gardens & villas (open soil): Requires levelling, weed-membrane, and a compacted base layer. This adds to labour cost but is essential for a lawn that stays flat and doesn’t sink in patches over a few years.
Commercial & hospitality landscapes (hotels, cafés, office parks): Priced on a project basis due to larger area, drainage planning, and often custom multi-tone blends for aesthetics – this is where Turf8’s Ultra 45 and Ultra 60 are most commonly used.
What’s Usually Not Included in a Cheap Quote
This is where most homeowners get caught out after choosing the lowest quote:
- Ground levelling and compaction
- Weed-membrane / geotextile layer
- Drainage layer for terraces and podiums (critical in Mumbai’s monsoon)
- Silica sand or rubber infill (needed for the turf to sit properly and stay upright)
- Edging and seaming for larger areas
- Disposal of old grass/debris
A quote that’s ₹20–30/sq ft cheaper than everyone else’s is almost always missing one of these – and it usually shows up as a problem 6–12 months later.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is artificial grass cheaper than natural grass in the long run?
Yes, over 3–5 years. Natural grass costs less upfront but needs ongoing watering, mowing, and fertilizing. Artificial grass has a higher one-time cost but near-zero recurring maintenance, which usually makes it cheaper in Mumbai’s climate within a few years.
Does artificial grass cost more for terraces than for open gardens?
Not always – but terraces often need a drainage layer that open soil doesn’t, which can add to the total project cost even if the turf itself is the same price.
How much does 500 sq ft of artificial grass cost in Mumbai?
At mid-range pricing (₹45–₹90/sq ft), 500 sq ft typically costs ₹22,500–₹45,000 installed. Premium multi-tone turf like Ultra 45 or Ultra 60 would push this higher.
Is cheaper artificial grass worth it?
Only for temporary or very low-traffic use. Budget-grade PP turf tends to flatten, fade, and look noticeably artificial within 12–18 months in Mumbai’s heat and humidity – it usually needs replacing sooner, which can cost more over time than choosing a mid-range PE turf upfront.
