Key facts
- Typical market range in India: about ₹5,000–₹35,000 for a complete kit; large multi-floor or enterprise systems can reach ₹75,000.
- There is no separate “Airtel price” or “Jio price” — you pay for the bands, gain and coverage your operator and space need.
- Accessories add cost: extra indoor antennas, splitters and cable (SIGLIFT LMR-300 ₹120/m, LMR-400 ₹160/m).
- The cheapest kit often ends up costing more when it’s the wrong band or has no gain control.
- SIGLIFT quotes after a free consultation — with free shipping, cash on delivery, 10-day returns and a 1-year warranty.
How much does a mobile network booster cost in India?
Prices vary a lot between sellers, so it helps to know what each price band usually buys. These are typical market ranges seen in India in September 2026 — indicative only, not SIGLIFT’s price list:
| Type of kit | Typical market price | What you usually get |
|---|---|---|
| Budget self-install kit | ~₹5,000–₹8,500 | Small area, basic antennas, short cable, limited advice on bands |
| Mid-range home kit | ~₹8,500–₹17,000 | Dual or tri-band, 1,500–3,000 sq.ft, better antennas |
| Installed home / office kit | ~₹15,000–₹35,000 | Higher gain, 1,500–4,000 sq.ft, professional installation |
| Large, multi-floor or enterprise | up to ~₹75,000 | Multiple antennas and splitters, long cable runs, site design |
Kits labelled “5G” sell for more, but check the frequencies: 5G uses separate bands (such as 3,500 MHz) that home boosters generally don’t amplify. What matters for calls in India is 4G/VoLTE.
What decides the price of a network booster?
| Factor | Why it changes the price |
|---|---|
| Frequency bands | Single-band kits are cheapest. Dual and tri-band kits (e.g. 900/1800/2100 MHz) cost more but cover more operators and more of your operator’s 4G. |
| Gain (dB) and output power | Higher gain handles weaker outdoor signal and longer cable. Good kits also include automatic gain control, which adds cost but keeps the system stable. |
| Coverage area | A 1,500 sq.ft kit costs less than a 5,000 or 10,000 sq.ft model. |
| Antennas | A directional LPDA for distant towers, and each extra indoor antenna for another room or floor, add to the bill. |
| Cable length and quality | Low-loss cable is priced per metre — SIGLIFT’s LMR-300 is ₹120/m and LMR-400 ₹160/m. Long roof-to-basement runs add up. |
| Splitters | Needed to feed 2–3 indoor antennas from one booster. |
| Installation | DIY with phone guidance costs nothing extra; a technician visit, roof pole or high-rise work costs more. |
| After-sales | Warranty, returns and real support are part of what you pay for — and worth checking before you compare prices. |
Airtel network booster price vs Jio network booster price
People often search for an “Airtel network booster price” or a “Jio network booster price”, but boosters aren’t priced by operator — they’re priced by the bands and coverage they deliver. What changes is which model you need:
- Jio relies on 850 MHz (Band 5) and 2300 MHz (Band 40), plus 1800 MHz. A Jio home needs a model with 850 and/or 2300 MHz. See Jio signal booster.
- Airtel uses 900, 1800, 2100 and 2300 MHz depending on the circle. Most Airtel homes need a 900/1800/2100 MHz model. See Airtel signal booster.
- Vi and BSNL mostly use 900 and 2100 MHz (Vi also 1800). See Vi and BSNL.
For the same coverage, single-operator models cost about the same whichever operator you use. Covering two operators with different band sets may mean a tri-band model or, in offices, two boosters.
Mobile network booster for home: price by home size
Instead of a number, here’s what each home typically needs — the items that make up the price:
| Home | What you need | Relative cost |
|---|---|---|
| 1BHK / 2BHK flat, 2+ bars outside | 1,500–2,000 sq.ft kit as supplied | ₹ |
| 3BHK flat or rooms far apart | 2,500–3,000 sq.ft kit, maybe one extra indoor antenna + splitter | ₹₹ |
| 2–3 floor house | 3,000–5,000 sq.ft kit, splitter, antenna per floor, extra cable | ₹₹–₹₹₹ |
| Kothi with basement, or 1 bar outside | High-gain model, LPDA antenna, LMR-400 cable, splitter, domes | ₹₹₹ |

Hidden costs to watch for
- Short cable. Kits include a fixed length. If your roof is 25 m from the room, you’ll pay for more.
- Missing mounting hardware. Roof poles, clamps and wall brackets are sometimes extra.
- Extra rooms. Each additional room or floor needs an antenna and a splitter.
- Installation visits. Ask whether installation is included, guided or charged separately.
- Returns. If you buy the wrong band, who pays for the return? SIGLIFT offers 10-day returns.
- Electricity. Small — a home booster draws roughly 5–15 W, around ₹350–₹1,000 a year running 24x7.
Why the cheapest booster can cost you more
Cheap unbranded boosters from marketplaces are tempting, but these are the common failure modes:
- Wrong bands. A single-band kit for a band your operator doesn’t use in your circle does nothing.
- No automatic gain control. Without it, a booster can oscillate (feed back on itself). That hurts your own signal and can disrupt the network around you.
- Thin cable and weak antennas. Much of the signal is lost before it reaches the amplifier.
- Inflated coverage claims and no one to call when it doesn’t work.

How to get an exact quote
- Note your operator(s) — or take a screenshot of your phone’s network info.
- Estimate the area in sq.ft and number of floors.
- Check bars on the roof or balcony (our signal strength checker helps).
- Send these on WhatsApp or fill the form — a SIGLIFT expert replies with the right model and the price, including any accessories.
