1. What Are Construction Aggregates?
Construction aggregates are granular materials derived from crushed rock, gravel, or sand that form the bulk of concrete, asphalt, road base, and other construction products. They are the single largest category of mined material in the world by volume, and in every cubic metre of concrete you pour on a Hyderabad construction site, aggregates make up 60–75% of the total volume.
In Hyderabad and Telangana, aggregates are almost exclusively crushed stone — produced by crushing granite, basalt, or dolerite rocks from the Deccan Plateau. Natural gravel aggregates are rare in this region. The crushing process produces aggregates of various sizes, which are separated by screening into different grades for specific construction applications.
VM Infra supplies the complete range of construction aggregates in Hyderabad — from fine chips (6mm) to large sub-base aggregates (40mm and GSB). All products are sourced from quality-approved quarries and meet IS 383:2016 and IS 2386 specifications.
2. Complete Guide to Aggregate Sizes in Hyderabad
Aggregates in India are classified by their nominal maximum size. Here’s a detailed breakdown of all aggregate sizes available from VM Infra in Hyderabad:
6mm Aggregates (Fine Stone Chips)
6mm aggregates (also called “chips” or “jelly”) are the smallest stone aggregate size. They pass through a 10mm sieve and are retained on a 4.75mm sieve. In Hyderabad construction:
- Used as a gap filler in concrete to improve packing
- Decorative chip finish on roofs and terraces
- Stone carpet / exposed aggregate flooring
- Backfill for drainage trenches
- Filter bed in soakpits and septic systems
2025 Price: ₹1,200 – ₹1,500 per tonne in Hyderabad
10mm Aggregates (Fine Coarse Aggregate)
10mm aggregates are a fine coarse aggregate retained on a 10mm sieve and passing a 12.5mm sieve. Popular uses in Hyderabad:
- Thin slabs (50–100mm thickness)
- Staircase steps and landings
- Swimming pool construction
- Pre-cast thin elements
- Concrete mix blending with 20mm for improved grading
2025 Price: ₹1,000 – ₹1,300 per tonne in Hyderabad
12mm Aggregates
12mm is an intermediate size aggregate (between 10mm and 20mm), used in Hyderabad for thin reinforced concrete sections, pre-cast elements, and areas with dense reinforcement bar spacing where larger aggregate cannot pass through.2025 Price: ₹1,000 – ₹1,300 per tonne in Hyderabad
20mm Aggregates ⭐ Most Popular for Construction
20mm is the standard and most widely used aggregate size for all structural concrete work in Hyderabad. It is retained on a 20mm sieve and passes through a 25mm sieve. Used for:
- All RCC work: foundations, columns, beams, slabs
- Ready-mix concrete (RMC) production
- Pre-cast concrete products
- High-strength concrete (M25, M30, M35, M40)
- Pavement quality concrete (PQC)
2025 Price: ₹900 – ₹1,200 per tonne in Hyderabad
40mm Aggregates (Large Aggregate)
40mm aggregates are the largest size used in construction, passing through a 50mm sieve. Best suited for:
- Mass concrete in foundations and retaining walls
- Lean concrete (PCC) under footings
- Road sub-base layer
- Railway track ballast
- Riprap and erosion protection
2025 Price: ₹800 – ₹1,100 per tonne in Hyderabad

4. Which Aggregate Size for Which Construction Application?
Choosing the correct aggregate size is crucial for achieving the designed concrete strength and workability. Here’s VM Infra’s expert recommendation guide for Hyderabad builders:

|---|---|---|
| Foundation (isolated/raft) | 20mm or 40mm | 40mm for mass concrete PCC base |
| Columns & Beams | 20mm | Standard for all RCC structural members |

5. Aggregate Quality Standards in India – IS 383 & IS 2386
All construction aggregates used in structural concrete in India must conform to the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) specifications:
- IS 383:2016 – Specification for Coarse and Fine Aggregates from Natural Sources for Concrete. This covers particle size distribution, specific gravity, water absorption, elongation index, flakiness index, impact value, crushing value, and soundness.
- IS 2386 (Parts I–VIII) – Methods of Test for Aggregates for Concrete. Covers specific gravity, water absorption, mechanical strength tests, chemical analysis, and alkali-aggregate reactivity testing.
Key quality parameters for 20mm structural aggregates per IS 383:2016:
| Property | IS 383 Limit | VM Infra Typical Value |
|---|---|---|
| Aggregate Impact Value (AIV) | ≤ 45% | 20–30% |
| Aggregate Crushing Value (ACV) | ≤ 45% | 20–28% |
| Flakiness Index | ≤ 35% | 15–25% |
| Elongation Index | ≤ 35% | 15–22% |
| Water Absorption | ≤ 2% | 0.5–1.5% |
| Specific Gravity | 2.5–2.9 | 2.65–2.75 |
VM Infra sources aggregates from quarries that provide IS 383:2016 compliance certificates. For large infrastructure projects, third-party testing from accredited NABL labs can be arranged.
6. GSB and WMM – Aggregates for Road Construction in Hyderabad
What Is GSB (Granular Sub Base)?
GSB is a well-graded mixture of crushed stone aggregates (40mm down to dust) used as the sub-base layer in road construction. In Hyderabad, GSB is specified by NHAI, GHMC, HMDA, and the Telangana Roads & Buildings Department for all flexible and rigid pavements.
GSB is typically laid 150–300mm thick below the WMM layer and provides:
- Drainage layer to remove sub-soil water
- Load-bearing sub-base layer
- Protection of subgrade from traffic loads
GSB Price in Hyderabad 2025: ₹600–₹800 per tonne
What Is WMM (Wet Mix Macadam)?
WMM is a well-graded crushed stone aggregate (40mm down to 75 microns) mixed with controlled water content and compacted to form the base course of flexible pavements. WMM provides the primary structural layer of the road above GSB.
WMM Price in Hyderabad 2025: ₹700–₹900 per tonne
VM Infra supplies both GSB and WMM for road construction projects across Hyderabad, including GHMC colony roads, industrial park internal roads, HMDA layout developments, and private construction access roads.

IndiaMART-Listed Suppliers
IndiaMART lists multiple aggregate suppliers in Hyderabad. While useful for comparison, buyers should exercise due diligence on quality and certifications when ordering from unknown suppliers.
8. Pro Tips for Buying Aggregates in Hyderabad
- Always verify aggregate shape: Crushed angular aggregates provide better concrete bonding than rounded aggregates. VM Infra’s aggregates are cubical to angular, which maximises concrete strength.
- Check flakiness: Flaky or elongated aggregates are weaker and harder to compact. The flakiness index should be below 30% for structural concrete.
- Order combined gradation (20mm + 10mm blend): A 70:30 blend of 20mm and 10mm aggregates improves concrete packing, reduces voids, and often allows reduction in cement content by 5–8% — saving money while maintaining strength.
- Bundle sand and aggregate orders: Ordering M Sand and 20mm aggregates from the same supplier (VM Infra) eliminates multiple coordination points and often qualifies for a combined discount.
- Request IS certification: For HMDA-approved layouts, GHMC-permitted buildings, and bank-financed projects, quality certificates for aggregates may be required. VM Infra provides IS 383 compliance documentation.
- Compare wet vs dry prices: Some dealers quote prices for wet aggregates (higher weight due to moisture), which can be 10–15% heavier than dry. Always clarify if prices are for dry aggregates.

10. Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What size jelly/aggregate is used for building construction in Hyderabad?
For standard residential and commercial building construction in Hyderabad, 20mm crushed stone aggregate is the standard specification for all RCC work (columns, beams, slabs, foundations). 10mm or 12mm is used for thinner elements. 6mm is used for chip flooring and as a gap filler in gap-graded concrete mixes.
Q2: How many cubic metres of 20mm aggregate do I need per m³ of concrete?
For a standard M20 grade concrete mix (1:1.5:3), you need approximately 0.9 m³ of 20mm aggregate per cubic metre of concrete. For M25 concrete (1:1:2), you need approximately 0.85 m³ per cubic metre. Contact VM Infra for a complete material quantity estimation for your mix design.
Q3: What is the difference between GSB and WMM?
GSB (Granular Sub Base) is laid below WMM and serves as the drainage and sub-base layer in road construction — typically 150–300mm thick. WMM (Wet Mix Macadam) is the base course laid above GSB — typically 150–250mm thick. WMM has a more controlled gradation and is mixed with water before compaction. Both are supplied by VM Infra for road projects in Hyderabad.
Q4: Can I order both sand and aggregates from VM Infra in one delivery?
Yes! VM Infra offers combined delivery of M Sand, P Sand, and all aggregate sizes in a single order. Combined orders qualify for additional discounts and save on logistics. This is particularly convenient for active construction sites in Hyderabad. Call +91 98493 42063 to arrange a combined supply.
