False ceiling costs range from ₹65–350 per sq ft in India. POP is the cheapest at ₹65–100/sqft while designer gypsum ceilings with LED coves cost ₹200–350/sqft.
- POP (Plaster of Paris): ₹65–100/sqft — Cheapest, traditional
- Grid/T-Bar (Armstrong): ₹80–130/sqft — Office/commercial standard
- Gypsum Board (plain): ₹110–160/sqft — Residential standard
- Gypsum with LED cove: ₹180–280/sqft — Most popular choice

What Affects False Ceiling Cost?
- Room size — larger rooms have lower per-sqft cost
- Number of levels/tiers (each level adds ₹40–80/sqft)
- LED lighting integration (adds ₹25–60/sqft)
- Cutouts for ACs and fans
- City and labour availability
⚠️
Avoid very cheap POP contractors — poor mixing and application leads to cracks within 1–2 years. Insist on 2 coats of POP and proper metal channel framing.
