Most 2 BHK kitchens in Indian apartments have 12–16 running feet of counter in an L-shape. At that size, a laminate kitchen with granite usually costs about ₹1.6–2.5 L in Bengaluru, and a PU-finish kitchen with quartz can cross ₹4 L. These are indicative ranges; get at least three quotes before you decide.
What drives the price
- Shutter finish: laminate is the cheapest, acrylic adds gloss, PU lacquer costs the most.
- Counter length: cost grows with every running foot of base and wall cabinets.
- Countertop: quartz costs roughly twice as much as granite.
- Hardware: soft-close channels and branded baskets add up fast.
