All-in cost by drive type
For a 3-person, G+2 lift in Bengaluru. Your choice is highlighted.
Hydraulic is usually the most economical for low-rise; traction (gearless MRL) balances cost, ride and efficiency; pneumatic vacuum saves on civil work (no pit or shaft) but caps at 2-3 persons; screw-drive is compact and low-maintenance.
Civil/installation, GST and AMC vary by site and vendor. Treat every figure as a planning estimate.
What is and is not included
Included: lift equipment, an indicative civil/shaft/electrical allowance, 18% GST, and an AMC estimate.
Not included: building works beyond the shaft, a sanctioned 3-phase connection if needed, interior upgrades, and state licence/registration fees.
