Price is usually the first question and the answer depends on capacity. A small single phase machine for 16mm bar and a heavy three phase machine for 42mm bar are different tools at different price points. Below is a clear starting picture of the HMS range so you can plan your budget. All figures are starting prices, and prices change with the steel and motor market, so confirm the current rate with HMS before you order. For the full lineup see our bar and rebar bending machines category.
Starting prices by model
| Machine | Bar range | Starting price |
|---|---|---|
| GF20 Single Phase | 8 to 16mm | starting around ₹33,000 |
| GF25 Three Phase | 8 to 20mm | starting around ₹38,000 |
| GW42 | 16 to 32mm | starting around ₹75,000 |
| GW52 | 16 to 42mm | starting around ₹95,000 |
| CNC Steel Bar Bender | Programmable | starting around ₹1,10,000 |
What drives the price
Three things mostly. First, bar capacity: a machine rated to 42mm needs a stronger gearbox, bigger motor and heavier frame than one rated to 16mm, so it costs more. Second, power and motor type, where three phase and Indian made motors add cost but improve reliability under daily load. Third, build quality, where a heavier casting and better bearings raise the price but extend the working life. The GF20 sits at the entry end because it is sized for lighter residential work, while the GW52 and CNC sit higher because of capacity and precision. The jump from a GF25 to a GW42 is the biggest single step in the range, and it reflects the move from light stirrup work to bending 32mm column mains all day.
It also helps to know that two machines at the same price can be very different inside. One may use a lighter motor and thinner casting to hit a number, while another puts the money into the gearbox and bearings. On a tool you run for years, the second one is the better buy even at a slightly higher rate. When you compare quotes, ask what the motor and gearbox are, not just the figure on the page.
Look at cost of ownership, not just sticker price
A bending machine runs for years, so the real cost includes downtime and spares, not only the purchase. A light machine pushed beyond its comfort all day will wear and stall, and every idle hour in the bending yard slows your pour. A slightly dearer machine that runs steady and has spares on hand often works out cheaper across a year. HMS stocks parts and supports machines across South India, which keeps that ownership cost down. Think of the purchase price as roughly half the story. The other half is the years of steady output the machine gives you, and a machine that holds its angle and keeps running protects every rupee you spend on steel and labour.
A note on GST and delivery
Some machines are quoted with GST shown separately, so check whether the figure you are comparing includes tax. Delivery across Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and Goa is straightforward through HMS. It also helps to plan for a starter or contactor and proper cabling, since a three phase machine wired badly will trip and waste your day. Factor those small site costs into your budget so the machine runs from the first morning.
