Curtain Track Price per Foot in India (2026): Costs Explained
Curtain tracks cost ₹140 to ₹450 per running foot, including installation, at Akhil Interior. Basic PVC channels sit at the lower end of that range, standard aluminium tracks land in the middle, and ripple fold, bendable, heavy-duty and premium-finish tracks sit towards the upper end. Motorised tracks add the cost of a motor and controls on top.
This guide explains what "per running foot" means, what changes the price, and how to estimate the cost for your own windows.
What "per running foot" means
Curtain tracks are priced by length — the total length of track installed, measured in feet. Unlike blinds, height does not matter: a 10 ft track costs the same whether the curtain below it is 7 ft or 10 ft tall.
The length is not just the window width. A track normally extends beyond the window on both sides so the curtains can stack clear of the glass when open — typically 6 to 12 inches each side for an ordinary window, more for heavy, lined drapes. Many people simply run the track wall to wall, which looks cleaner and makes the window feel larger.
What changes the price within the range
- Material. PVC channels cost less than aluminium; aluminium is stronger, straighter over wide spans and lasts longer.
- Profile strength. Heavier profiles with thicker walls carry blackout and lined curtains without sagging.
- Type of track. Ripple fold, bendable and heavy-duty tracks need special carriers, bends or reinforcement.
- Finish. Standard white or silver costs less than black, champagne or custom powder-coated finishes.
- Number of layers. A double track is effectively two tracks, so the running feet roughly double.
- Installation conditions. A concrete ceiling is straightforward; a false ceiling needs a batten or long anchors, and double-height windows need scaffolding or tall ladders.
Worked examples
Here is what common situations cost at ₹140 to ₹450 per running foot, installation included:
- Bedroom window, 6 ft wide: with 1 ft extension each side, the track is 8 ft — about ₹1,120 to ₹3,600.
- Living room window, 8 ft wide: with 1 ft each side, 10 ft of track — about ₹1,400 to ₹4,500.
- Wall-to-wall track on a 12 ft wall: about ₹1,680 to ₹5,400.
- Double track (sheer + blackout) on a 10 ft run: 20 running feet in total — about ₹2,800 to ₹9,000.
Your exact figure depends on the profile and finish you choose, which is why a measured quote is always more accurate than a calculator.
What's usually included — and what isn't
The per-foot price covers the track, brackets, gliders and end stops, plus installation. Things that are normally separate, and worth asking about in any quote:
- Curtain fabric and stitching. The track holds the curtain; the curtain itself is a separate item.
- Motors, remotes and hubs for motorised tracks.
- Electrical work, such as a power point near the motor for a wired motorised track.
- False-ceiling reinforcement if battens were not installed before the ceiling was closed.
Tips to get the most for your budget
- Use aluminium for anything wider than about 6 ft or for heavy curtains — replacing a sagging PVC channel later costs more.
- Choose a ceiling mount in bedrooms to stop light leaking over the top of blackout curtains.
- Plan tracks before the false ceiling is finished, so the fixing battens go in at the right spot.
- If you might motorise later, ask for a motor-ready track and a concealed power point now.

Frequently asked questions
What is the price of a curtain track per foot?
At Akhil Interior, curtain tracks cost ₹140 to ₹450 per running foot, including installation. Basic PVC channels are at the lower end; aluminium, ripple fold, bendable and premium-finish tracks cost more.
Is installation included in the curtain track price?
Yes. Our per-foot price includes installation. Curtain fabric, motors and any electrical or false-ceiling work are quoted separately.
How many feet of track do I need for a window?
Measure the window width and add 6 to 12 inches on each side so the curtains can stack clear of the glass. For a wall-to-wall look, measure the full wall width.
Does a double track cost twice as much?
Roughly, yes, because you are installing two lines of track and two sets of gliders. A 10 ft double track is 20 running feet in total.
