Hoarding advertising cost in Pune: what decides the rate
Book My Board ·
A hoarding in Pune costs a monthly rent set by the board's owner, plus a one-time cost for printing the flex and mounting it. The rent depends mostly on location, size, traffic and lighting, and it changes with demand, so published rate cards go stale fast. The fastest way to a real number is to shortlist boards and ask for a quote for your dates, which Book My Board returns within a working day.
The five things that set the rent
- Location and facing: a board facing a busy signal or a highway approach costs more than one on a side road or facing away from traffic.
- Size: measured in feet (for example 40 x 20 ft, 800 sq ft). Bigger boards cost more, but not in a straight line.
- Lighting: front-lit boards are seen at night and cost more than non-lit ones. LED screens are priced differently, per slot length.
- Duration: one month is the usual minimum. Longer bookings usually get a lower monthly rate.
- Season and demand: festival months, elections and big real estate launches push demand and rates up.
Costs on top of rent
- Printing: the ad is printed on flex or vinyl, priced by area. A large board needs a large print.
- Mounting: fixing the flex on the frame, and taking it down after.
- Taxes: GST applies on advertising services in India.
- Design: if you need the artwork made. Read our billboard design tips first.
LED screens are priced per slot
On a digital screen you do not rent the whole board. You rent a slot, usually 10 or 15 seconds, that plays in a loop with other brands for a month. Longer slots cost more. Details in LED billboard advertising in Pune.
Why we don't publish rate cards
Board rates change with availability and season, and the same board can be priced differently for one month and for six. A number on a website would be wrong for most buyers. Instead, every quote we send is confirmed with the owner for your dates, so the figure you see is the figure you pay.
Pick boards on the map and press Request quote, or send a brief with your budget and we will fit the boards to it.
How to get more for the same budget
- Book two or three mid-size boards on one route rather than one huge board: repetition beats size.
- Book three months instead of one if the campaign allows. The monthly rate usually drops.
- Use non-lit boards in areas where your buyers mostly travel by day.
- Ask about boards coming free soon. Owners prefer a booked board to an empty one.
Questions people ask
- How much does a hoarding cost per month in Pune?
- It depends on the board: location, size, lighting and how long you book all change the rent, and printing plus mounting are extra. Book My Board sends a confirmed quote for specific boards and dates within a working day.
- Is printing included in the hoarding rent?
- Usually not. Rent covers the board for the month. Flex printing and mounting are charged separately, once per campaign or per creative change.
- Are LED billboards more expensive than normal hoardings?
- They are priced differently. You pay per 10 or 15 second slot that loops with other brands, so your cost is a share of the screen. A static hoarding gives you the whole board, all month.
