1. What is this item?

Barbed wire fencing is a standard perimeter security solution used to demarcate and protect the outer boundary of a farm. It consists of multiple strands of galvanized barbed wire strung between concrete or steel posts, often with intermediate support and corner reinforcement.

2. How is the Quantity Estimated?

Quantity is calculated based on the total running meter length of the farm boundary. For a rectangular farm, perimeter = 2 × (length + breadth). Additional buffer (typically 5–10%) is added for curves, gates, or terrain undulation. For example, a 10-hectare farm might have around 720–800 running meters of boundary.

3. What are the Cost Components?

• RCC/steel fencing poles (spacing: 8–10 ft apart)

• Barbed wire (2–5 strands, depending on requirement)

• Corner supports/bracings (for stability)

• Binding wire and fixing hardware

• Concrete base for poles

• Labor for excavation, pole setting, and wire tightening

• Supervision and site-level quality checks

4. What are the Going Rates & Per Unit Cost?

As of 2025, turnkey barbed wire fencing (including material, labor, and supervision) typically costs:

• ₹200–₹270 per running meter for 3–4 strands

• ₹270–₹340 per running meter for 5+ strands or reinforced variants

So, if you go with a ₹240/m rate for 4 strands: For 720 meters, total cost = ₹240 × 720 = ₹1,72,800

Per running meter, your benchmark cost = ₹240
