Home Automation Cost Guide for India (2026)

Feb 2026 9 min

The honest range

Home automation in India in 2026 starts at ₹1.5 lakh for a thoughtful 2BHK retrofit, sits between ₹6–15 lakh for premium apartments and new villas, and crosses ₹50 lakh+ for KNX-wired luxury estates with home theatre and perimeter security.

What changes the number

Three variables dominate cost: protocol choice (WiFi vs KNX), product mix (smart switches vs Dynamic Series panels) and depth (per-room vs whole-home). Civil work is a fourth — retrofits save 20–30% by avoiding any rewiring.

A realistic apartment

A 3BHK Hyderabad apartment, fully automated with Dynamic Series, smart locks, curtain automation, AC control and CCTV typically lands at ₹6–9 lakh. With Retro Module instead of Dynamic Series, the same scope drops to ₹3–4 lakh.

A realistic villa

A 5BHK villa with KNX backbone, multi-zone audio, home theatre, motorised curtains, full security and gate automation typically lands at ₹25–45 lakh.
