Stainless Steel Sheet Price by Thickness (mm & Gauge): Indicative ₹/kg, India
Stainless steel sheet price is set mostly by thickness (mm or gauge) × grade × today's nickel rate, below are indicative ₹/kg bands by thickness and the kg-per-8×4-sheet basis, grade by grade. Yes, thickness affects the price: thinner cold-rolled sheet carries a per-kg premium and the per-kg rate eases as thickness rises, while a thicker sheet weighs more per 8×4 and so costs more per sheet. This is the ss sheet price by thickness axis that cuts across grades, the thickness wise ss sheet rate, the stainless steel sheet price per mm / rate per mm question, and the plain-trade ss sheet ka rate or stainless steel sheet ka price, all read from the same dated stainless steel sheet price list by thickness here, confirmed live when you request today's exact rate on RFQ.
Reviewed by the Relinox Technical Team. Relinox Stainless is a Jindal Stainless MoU partner / authorized channel supplying genuine JSL-melted flat products, not re-rolled bazaar stock, so these thickness-wise rates track real Delhi trade levels rather than a stale trader PDF.

SS sheet price by thickness (₹/kg): indicative table across grades
This is the head stainless steel sheet thickness and price chart, cold-rolled (CR) sheet in 2B finish, read by thickness band down the rows and by grade across the columns. It is the grade-agnostic stainless steel sheet price list by thickness, an HTML table you can read and cite directly, covering the most-asked 2mm stainless steel sheet price alongside every adjacent gauge.
| Thickness band (CR sheet, 2B) | Approx. gauge | SS 202 ₹/kg | J4 / 204Cu ₹/kg | SS 304 / 304L ₹/kg | SS 316 / 316L ₹/kg |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.5–0.8 mm | 26–22 g | ₹145–180 | On request | ₹200–250 | ₹295–360 |

Indicative Delhi market range, reviewed October 2026. Stainless rates move daily with nickel/LME, confirm today's exact rate on RFQ. Basis: ex-Delhi; GST & freight extra; no minimum order, larger quantities get better rates; cut-to-size on request at additional charges.
Reading down the 304 column against each band: the 0.5 mm stainless steel sheet price, 0.6mm ss sheet price and 0.8mm ss sheet price sit in the thin-gauge row (₹200–250/kg), while the 0.3mm ss sheet price and 0.4mm ss sheet price at the very thin end are quoted on request as they fall outside the standard 2B band. The 0.9mm ss sheet price, 1mm stainless steel sheet price, 1.2mm ss sheet price and 1.25mm ss sheet price read from the 1.0–1.2 mm row; the 1.5 mm ss sheet price, 2mm stainless steel sheet price, 2.5mm ss sheet price and 3mm stainless steel sheet price read from the 1.5–3.0 mm row. The 4 mm stainless steel sheet price, 5mm stainless steel sheet price and 6mm ss sheet price cross into HR/plate territory, and the 8mm, 10mm and 12mm stainless steel sheet price are plate, priced on the stainless steel plate price page. Thinner gauge means a higher ₹/kg; the per-kg rate eases as thickness rises. The brand-qualified jindal 2mm ss sheet price and jindal ss sheet price by thickness read the same figures, genuine JSL material through an authorized channel.
The ss sheet rate today by thickness, the aaj ka rate, moves with nickel, so we date the table rather than freeze a number. Trade terms map straight onto it: a sheet is also a patta, chadar or chaddar; moti (thick) and patli (thin) just move you up or down the rows. The ss patta price by thickness and patti rate per kg follow the same grade ladder priced to strip width (see SS patta / patti strips), and the ss chadar rate / chaddar price per kg is simply the sheet rate above. The rate is quoted per kg, so the 2mm ss sheet price per kg is the row figure; the 2mm ss sheet price per sheet and 2mm ss sheet price per piece are that rate × the sheet's weight (next section). Request today's confirmed thickness-wise rate for the live per-kg number with MTC.
Price per 8×4 sheet (piece rate)
The rate is quoted per kg, then converted to a per-sheet (piece) figure by weight, so the stainless steel sheet 8x4 price is the ₹/kg rate × the weight of that 8×4 sheet. A standard 8×4 is 1250×2500 mm; the kg-per-sheet below is the standard density-based weight for 304 (density ~7.93–8.0 g/cm³ per ASTM A240 / JSL published data), which is why the 2mm ss sheet 8x4 price and the broader 8x4 ss sheet rate rise step-by-step with thickness.
| Thickness (mm) | Approx. kg per 8×4 sheet (304 basis) | Indicative ₹ per 8×4 (304) |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 mm | ~12.4 kg | ₹200–250/kg × weight |
| 0.8 mm | ~19.8 kg | ₹200–250/kg × weight |
| 1.0 mm | ~24.8 kg | ₹190–240/kg × weight |
| 1.2 mm | ~29.7 kg | ₹190–240/kg × weight |
| 1.5 mm | ~37.2 kg | ₹185–235/kg × weight |
| 2.0 mm | ~49.6 kg | ₹185–235/kg × weight |
| 3.0 mm | ~74.3 kg | ₹185–235/kg × weight |
| 4.0 mm | ~99.1 kg | On request / plate |
| 5.0 mm | ~123.9 kg | ₹175–230/kg (HR plate) × weight |
| 6.0 mm | ~148.7 kg | ₹175–230/kg (HR plate) × weight |

Indicative Delhi market range, reviewed October 2026. Stainless rates move daily with nickel/LME, confirm today's exact rate on RFQ. Basis: ex-Delhi; GST & freight extra; no minimum order, larger quantities get better rates; cut-to-size on request at additional charges. Weights are standard density-based values; 202 and 316 sheets weigh fractionally different per their density.
So the 4x8, 4x10 (1250×3050 mm) and 5x10 (1500×3000 mm) sizes all start from the same per-kg rate, the 4x8 / 4x10 / 5x10 ss sheet price by thickness is just the band rate × that size's weight. To turn the rate into a per-sheet cost, use our weight calculator to convert ₹/kg to price per sheet or the SS sheet weight chart; for the full size and thickness reference see SS sheet sizes & thickness.
Gauge to mm: and how gauge affects price
Gauge is just another way to name thickness, so it maps onto the same rate bands. The conversion below is the standard Indian-market Standard Wire Gauge (SWG) mapping, confirm the exact figure against the IS / JSL published gauge table. This is the ss sheet gauge to mm price / gauge chart price reference and answers the swg to mm ss sheet price query: find the mm, then read the ₹/kg band above.
| Gauge (SWG) | mm (approx.) | Common use / price band |
|---|---|---|
| 26 g | ~0.45 mm | Very thin, thin-gauge band (on request below 0.5 mm) |
| 24 g | ~0.60 mm | Thin sheet, 0.5–0.8 mm band |
| 22 g | ~0.71 mm | Thin sheet, 0.5–0.8 mm band |
| 20 g | ~0.91 mm | Light sheet, 1.0–1.2 mm band |
| 18 g | ~1.22 mm | Common fabrication, 1.0–1.2 mm band |
| 16 g | ~1.60 mm | Medium sheet, 1.5–3.0 mm band |
| 14 g | ~1.98 mm | Heavier sheet, 1.5–3.0 mm band |

Worked example: 18 gauge ≈ 1.22 mm, so an 18 gauge ss sheet price reads from the 1.0–1.2 mm row. The same way, the 22 gauge, 20 gauge, 16 gauge and 14 gauge ss sheet price each map to their mm band, and the thinner 24 gauge and 26 gauge stainless steel sheet price sit at the thin-gauge end (0.45–0.60 mm, often quoted on request). Lower gauge number = thicker sheet = lower ₹/kg, higher kg per sheet.
Why thickness changes the price (price factors)
There is no single reason the rate moves, it is a stack of inputs, which is why the rate changes daily and why we date the table instead of freezing a figure. There is a stainless steel sheet price per mm logic (a rate per mm feel) in the per-sheet math, more millimetres means more kilograms per 8×4, but the per-kg band itself is driven mostly by grade and nickel, not thickness alone.
| Factor | Effect on ₹/kg | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Nickel (LME) | Nickel up → rate up | The biggest lever; nickel-bearing 304/316 track it, low-nickel 200-series much less |
| Grade | 202 < 304 < 316 | Nickel content sets the ladder, see the grade comparison below |
| Thickness / gauge band | Thin gauge → premium | Very thin and very thick attract processing premiums; mid CR bands are often keenest per kg |
| Form (HR vs CR) | HR generally below CR | Thickness band decides form, see HR vs CR stainless sheet |
| Finish | 2B < No.4 < mirror/PVD | BA +₹8–18/kg, No.4/hairline +₹10–22/kg, mirror (No.8/8K) +₹20–40/kg over 2B |
| Order quantity | More kg/MT → better rate | No minimum order; larger quantities get better rates |
| Freight to your city | Farther → higher landed cost | Base rate same; landed cost varies by city |

Finish adders are typical market adders over the 2B base; PVD colour, etched and designer finishes are quoted per job (base + finishing). Indicative Delhi market range, reviewed October 2026, confirm today's exact rate on RFQ.
So thicker is not always dearer per kg, mid-range CR bands are often keenest per kg, while very thin and very thick sheet carry processing premiums, and grade dominates the whole ladder.
Same thickness, different grade: 202 vs 304 vs 316
At the same thickness the grade sets the rate, because nickel content differs. The 202 2mm sheet price sits lowest (200-series uses manganese to cut nickel cost), the 304 2mm sheet price is mid, and the 316 2mm sheet price is highest (316 adds molybdenum and more nickel). Read any single thickness row across the head table above to see the delta, or go deep on each grade's dedicated rate page.
| Grade at 2.0 mm (CR, 2B) | Indicative ₹/kg | Dedicated rate page |
|---|---|---|
| SS 202 | ₹135–168 | ss 202 sheet price per kg |
| J4 / 204Cu | On request | Jindal J4 grade |
| SS 304 / 304L | ₹185–235 | ss 304 sheet price / 304 price per kg |
| SS 316 / 316L | ₹280–345 | ss 316 sheet price per kg |

304 is dearer than 202 at the same thickness because 304 carries ~8% nickel while 200-series (202 / J4) uses manganese to cut nickel cost, see SS 202 vs 304 and SS 304 vs 316. Economy J-series (J4 / J1 / JT) is quoted on request and typically sits below 202 on the ladder; ferritic 430, 409M and other grades such as 310S, 321 and duplex 2205 are quoted on request.

FAQ
Does thickness affect stainless steel sheet price?
Yes, a thicker sheet has more kilograms per 8×4, so it costs more per sheet; the per-kg rate also shifts by thickness band (thin gauge carries a premium, mid cold-rolled bands are often keenest) and by grade. Read the dated thickness table above and confirm the live rate on RFQ.
How much is a 2mm SS sheet (8×4)?
The 2 mm per-kg rate is the band figure (304 CR 2B sits at an indicative ₹185–235/kg, reviewed October 2026), and a 2 mm 8×4 sheet weighs about 49.6 kg on a 304 basis, so the per-sheet price is the ₹/kg rate × that weight. Confirm today's exact rate on the RFQ form.
How do I convert gauge to mm?
Use the SWG mapping in the gauge table above, e.g. 18 gauge ≈ 1.22 mm, 20 gauge ≈ 0.91 mm, 16 gauge ≈ 1.60 mm, then read the ₹/kg band for that thickness. Confirm the exact figure against the IS / JSL published gauge table.
Is thicker stainless steel more expensive per kg?
Not always, mid-range cold-rolled bands are often the keenest per kg, while very thin and very thick sheet attract processing premiums, and grade dominates the ladder. So thickness mainly changes the per-sheet cost through weight, while the per-kg band moves more with grade and nickel.
What is the price of an 18 gauge SS sheet?
18 gauge ≈ 1.22 mm, so it reads from the 1.0–1.2 mm row, for 304 CR 2B that is an indicative ₹190–240/kg, reviewed October 2026. The per-sheet cost is that rate × the sheet's weight; confirm today's rate on RFQ.
Why is 304 dearer than 202 at the same thickness?
304 carries ~8% nickel, while 200-series (202 / J4) uses manganese to cut nickel cost, so 202 sits lower on the ladder at the same thickness; 316 sits highest because it adds molybdenum and more nickel. See SS 202 vs 304.
Are these prices final?
No, they are indicative Delhi market ranges, reviewed October 2026, and stainless rates move daily with nickel/LME. Confirm today's exact ₹/kg on the RFQ form before ordering.
What sizes and thicknesses do you supply?
Standard Indian-market sizes, 8×4 (1250×2500 mm), 4×10 (1250×3050 mm) and 5×10 (1500×3000 mm), in the standard 0.3–12 mm+ range, with thinner and thicker (plate) on request. Cut-to-size pieces are available on request at additional charges.
Is GST extra? What's the HSN code?
GST is added on the invoice, rates here are quoted ex-GST. SS flat products fall under HSN Chapter 72; see our SS HSN codes & GST page for the exact classification.
Do you give dealer or bulk pricing by thickness?
Yes, there is no minimum order, so reseller and bulk enquiries earn a keener per-kg figure. Raise a dealer-pricing enquiry via the RFQ form and we will quote with MTC.
Do you supply genuine Jindal material with a mill test certificate?
Yes, Relinox is a Jindal Stainless MoU partner supplying genuine JSL-melted flat products, and a mill test certificate (MTC) is shared with every dispatch. Read about our Jindal Stainless MoU partnership.
Do rates vary by city?
The base per-kg rate is similar across India; what varies is freight. The ex-Delhi base is the Delhi rate, and other cities add transport to the landed cost, see our Delhi dealer page and locations index.
