Hi,
I came to know through some sources that few people are using manufactured sand in the place of sand and also few ready mix plants are using msand or manufactured sand. Due to adulterated sand/filtered sand it is better to use msand is the opinion given by one friend. What is your opinion?
Is anybody know or used msand in their construction?
How is the quality? Who are the suppliers? What is the price?
please share the information.

I don't know about msand, but I can share one thing from my experience. Stick to what majority of ppl are doing/using as it will be time tested and economical.
Any deviation will lead to cost increase and provide opportunity for excuse to contractor/maestri for a bad piece of work they do. Also you will end up spending lot of time researching on new material that nobody has information about, or people will give incorrect information.

BTW it is not very difficult to get good sand, I think a good river sand cost 22 to 25k per load

M-sand is equivalent to river sand technically. Almost all RMC plants use only M-Sand as its economical and good.
1 Supplier named moorthy - 09843196579, cost around Rs.40-45/cft(site delivery cost)

go for mSand, it's the best considering so much of frauds around natural river sand.
even, Govt ordered PWD to use only msand, http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/k ... 135846.ece
