How much does a video ad cost in India? (2026 pricing guide)

Video ad pricing in India varies wildly — from a few hundred rupees for a script to lakhs for a celebrity shoot. Here's an honest, itemised breakdown of what each piece actually costs in 2026, so you can budget without surprises.

A scroll-stopping 60-second ad script costs ₹499–₹1,500 depending on the number of variants and languages. This is the cheapest, highest-leverage thing you can buy — a good hook makes every other rupee work harder.

A professional voiceover by a real Indian artist runs ₹999–₹3,000 for a standard ad read, scaling with length and the number of languages. Adding a second language is far cheaper than commissioning two separate reads.

Vertical reel editing (9:16, motion graphics, captions, sound) costs ₹1,499–₹5,000 per reel. Bulk packs (5 / 10 / 20 reels) bring the per-reel price down sharply — most brands save 20%+ buying a pack.

A custom, original jingle with real vocals, mix and master starts around ₹2,999 for a 15-second hook. You keep the stems, so one jingle powers radio, reels and TV.

3D product films and motion-graphics packages start near ₹4,999 and scale with complexity and length.

If you want the whole thing handled — script to shoot to edit to delivery — managed campaigns are quoted per scope, but bundling services is always cheaper than buying them piecemeal.
