Hello Friends,
The dealer who was supplying river sand @50~55 Rs/cft during the last 8 months is now quoting Rs 70/cft and is telling that the prices may further rise in few days(for reason best known to him).

Can anyone share the contact of any river sand dealer/s who is little more reasonable?

Regards,
Chetan

P.S.: I can go to their lorry stand and check if its river and filter sand.

From what I have seen, the sand rate varies across different parts of the city. (In Kanakapura I saw vendors quoting 40 Rs per cft , In Chandapura they quote 50 Rs per cft for Sand from Trichy. Rates as of yesterday)
From what I have myself heard, the prices of sand gets higher during monsoons, but I myself am not sure if the prices will shoot this high.
Which area are you located?

I have also heard about the price rise during monsoon because of the difficulty in getting the boat deep enough in river to extract sand but was not too sure.
I am located in Ramamurthy Nagar, near KR Puram.

Usually I visit lorry stand near hebbal,Nice road. Are there any other better places to find river sand?

Chetanl - I heard there is a one in KR puram itself (towards hoskote, I guess). My neighbour is getting if from there and the river sand is from AP. Price - ~25-26K for 5 1/2 units (10 wheeler)

Hi palmut,

Please can you give the dealer contact nearby KR puram. My area is mahadevapura.

Please beware of the sand from AP. The price is tempting though & believe me...it is always a filter sand. My 2 initial loads were from AP & then I stopped it totally. TN ones are good & cheaper too..compared to the ones from Karnataka.

@Palmut: I had used the AP sand earlier, but had found lot of soil content like filter sand in it...

@m3_07: Where do you buy the TN river sand? Can you please share contact details ?

call rajesh @ 9844891345

@m3_07: Have you already seen the sand supplied by Rajesh? Does it have any traces of soil content in it?

Once I had got two loads of Harihara river sand from a guy near Nice road after myself checking it. And had called him after a week to get another load, but this time the guy got a load which was a mix of filter and river sand. Hence I am always worried to book sand without myself physically checking it.

Hi,

This is Arunkumar from BTM, Bangalore. I can supply good quality river sand from Trichy. Our vehicles are 10wheeled Ashok leyland trucks. Sand quantity will be around 550-600cft. Cost of the sand is Rs 27000.

We are not agents. We own the trucks and we directly supply sand (I am an IT professional and my father takes care of the trucks). So you can be rest assured that sand is of good quality and is not mixed with poor quality sand or filtered sand.

Agents buy sand from people like us (truck owners) and hike the price for their profit. Also, sometimes they mix river sand with poor quality sand. Since agents are not involved in our case, you get good quality sand for lesser price.

I promise that good quality sand will be delivered to you in a timely manner.
Please call xxxxxxxx to place your order.

Thanks
Arunkumar M
