Summary
A private cabin in Delhi usually costs ₹5,000 to ₹30,000 per seat each month, plus 18% GST. The real price depends on four things: the area, the cabin size, your team size and what the plan includes. For a team of 4, that works out to roughly ₹23,600 to ₹1,41,600 a month in total. Budget areas like Rohini and Pitampura cost the least, while Connaught Place, Saket and Aerocity cost the most. Most confusion comes from quotes that mix per seat and per room prices, or that leave out GST. Check those two points, ask for the cabin area in square feet, and read the exit terms before you sign.
Key takeaways
- Plan for ₹5,000 to ₹30,000 per seat a month. The wide gap comes mainly from location.
- Always add 18% GST. Some listings show prices without it, so ask in writing.
- Check if a price is per seat or per room. Divide a room price by the number of seats before you compare quotes.
- Small teams pay more per seat. A 5 seat cabin can cost 15 to 20% more per seat than a 25 seat office.
- Cabin size matters. Aim for 80 to 100 square feet per person. A 4 person cabin around 140 square feet will feel cramped.
- Privacy costs about ₹2,000 more per seat than a dedicated desk, based on market ranges.
- A cabin beats a rented office for young teams. It needs a small deposit and a few days to start, while a leased office can need six to ten months of rent upfront and months of fit out.
- Watch for hidden costs. Parking, extra meeting room hours, printing, lockers, after hours access and yearly rent increases often sit outside the headline price.
- Read the contract before the price. Ask about lock in, notice period, deposit refund and how to add or reduce seats.
- You can lower your bill. Offer a 6 to 12 month term, compare three written quotes and ask for extra meeting room hours.
- North West Delhi offers good value. Rohini, Rithala and Pitampura cost less than central and south Delhi, and the Red Line metro connects them.
- Use three questions on every quote: Is the price per seat or per room? Is GST included? How many square feet do we get?
Introduction
You search for a private cabin in Delhi. One website says ₹9,000. Another says ₹29,000. A third shows ₹1,18,000. Which one is right?
Often all three are. They just measure things. One gives the price for a seat. One gives the price for a room. One adds GST while the other forgets to mention it. That confusion makes small teams pay more than they should or walk away, from a deal.
This guide fixes that. You will see what a cabin costs for 2, 4 and 6 people, what changes the price, which extra charges to expect, and how to check a quote before you sign. We reviewed public listings and operator pages in October 2026. We use ranges, because no honest source can give one fixed price for all of Delhi.
The quick answer
A private cabin in Delhi usually costs ₹5,000 to ₹30,000 per seat each month, plus 18% GST. For a team of 4, that means roughly ₹23,600 to ₹1,41,600 a month in total. Budget areas like Rohini and Pitampura sit at the lower end. Connaught Place, Saket and Aerocity sit at the top.
What is a private cabin?
A private cabin is a lockable room inside a coworking space. Your team gets its own door, its own desks and its own quiet. You still share the pantry, reception and meeting rooms with other members.
It sits between two other choices. A dedicated desk is a reserved seat in an open hall. A managed office is a full floor built for one company. A cabin gives you privacy without the cost and effort of running a whole office.
Private cabin cost by team size
Here is the monthly cost with 18% GST added. These are estimates built from public listings, so treat them as a planning guide and ask for a written quote.
| Team size | Budget areas (₹5,000 to ₹8,500 a seat) | Mid range areas (₹10,000 to ₹14,000) | Premium areas (₹15,000 to ₹30,000) |
| 2 people | ₹11,800 to ₹20,060 | ₹23,600 to ₹33,040 | ₹35,400 to ₹70,800 |
| 4 people | ₹23,600 to ₹40,120 | ₹47,200 to ₹66,080 | ₹70,800 to ₹1,41,600 |
| 6 people | ₹35,400 to ₹60,180 | ₹70,800 to ₹99,120 | ₹1,06,200 to ₹2,12,400 |
One more thing to know: small teams often pay more per seat. A 5 seat cabin can cost 15 to 20% more per seat than a 25 seat office in the same building. The operator spends nearly the same on one cabin whether it holds 5 people or 25, so small cabins carry a higher share of that cost.
Price by area in Delhi
Where the cabin sits matters more than almost anything else.
Premium areas. Connaught Place, Nehru Place, Saket and Aerocity charge for the address. Listings in these areas often run from the mid teens to nearly ₹30,000 per seat. You pay for the brand, the building and client friendly locations.
Mid range areas. Okhla, Mohan Estate, Jhandewalan and Vasant Kunj mostly land between ₹10,000 and ₹14,000 per seat. One operator lists a 2 seater cabin at about ₹12,100 per person at Mohan Estate, with GST added on top.
Budget areas. Rohini, Pitampura, Netaji Subhash Place, Dwarka and Janakpuri offer the lowest prices. Most cabin and desk listings in North West Delhi fall between about ₹5,000 and ₹9,500 per seat, with a few premium buildings higher.
Ask yourself one question before you chase the cheapest area: where do your people and clients travel from? A cabin that saves ₹3,000 per seat but adds 40 minutes of commute each way can cost you more in time than it saves in money.
Per seat price versus per cabin price
This is the biggest source of confusion, so read it twice.
Some operators quote a price per seat. Others quote one price for the whole room. When you compare a “per seat” quote with a “per room” quote, the numbers look wildly different, even when the real cost is close.
Here is the simple math for a per seat quote:
- Seat price: ₹10,000
- Seats: 4
- Subtotal: ₹40,000
- GST at 18%: ₹7,200
- Monthly total: ₹47,200
For a per room quote, divide the room price by the number of seats to get the seat price. Then compare. Always ask the operator one plain question: “Is this price per seat or for the entire cabin, and is GST included?”
What the price should include
A fair cabin price usually covers the basics. Check that your quote lists each of these:
- Furniture for every seat
- Internet and power backup
- Air conditioning
- Cleaning and pantry access
- A set number of meeting room hours
- Reception and mail handling
- Door signage for your company name
If a quote leaves any of these out, ask for it in writing. A low price with missing items often ends up costing more.
Hidden costs to ask about
The headline price is rarely the final bill. These charges catch many first time renters:
- GST. Operators add 18% on top. If your business is GST registered, you may be able to claim it back as input tax credit. Check with your CA.
- Security deposit. Coworking deposits are usually small, often one to two months. Traditional leases ask for far more.
- Parking. Many buildings bill bike and car parking separately.
- Extra meeting room hours. Your plan may cover a few hours. After that, you pay by the hour.
- Printing, lockers and after hours access. These can show up as add ons.
- Yearly increases. Ask whether the rent rises when you renew.
How big should your cabin be?
Most pages skip this, yet it affects your daily comfort more than the paint or the chairs.
A good rule is 80 to 100 square feet per person in a flexible office. That gives people room to move, take calls and keep a bag under the desk.
Now compare. One Delhi listing offers a cabin of about 13 square metres for 4 people. That is roughly 140 square feet in total, or about 35 square feet each. Four people in that room would feel crowded all day.
So always ask the operator two things: “What is the cabin area in square feet?” and “How many seats does that include?” Divide the first by the second. If the answer comes in far below 80, push back or ask to see a bigger room.
Private cabin, dedicated desk or your own office?
Cabin versus dedicated desk. Market ranges suggest a small cabin costs about ₹2,000 more per seat each month than a dedicated desk. For a team of 4, that is about ₹8,000 a month, or ₹9,440 with GST. Ask whether your team needs that privacy for client calls, confidential work or focus. If yes, the extra cost is small for what you get.
Cabin versus renting your own office. Imagine a 5 person team that needs about 600 square feet. Commercial rents in the wider Delhi NCR region run from about ₹55 to ₹200 per square foot each month, so rent alone could be ₹33,000 to ₹1,20,000. Then add a deposit that can reach six to ten months of rent, plus furniture, internet, electricity and a fit out that can take two to four months. This is our own worked example, and real rents change by building. Still, it shows why a cabin helps young teams: you pay less up front and start work within days.
| Option | Upfront cost | Time to start | Flexibility |
| Private cabin | Low, about 1 to 2 months deposit | A few days | High |
| Dedicated desk | Low | Same day or next day | High |
| Your own rented office | Very high, up to 6 to 10 months deposit | 2 to 4 months | Low |
Lock in, notice and contract terms
Many cabin agreements run from 3 to 12 months, often with a one month lock in. Month to month plans exist, but they usually cost 10 to 20% more per seat.
Before you sign, ask:
- What is the lock in period?
- How many days of notice do I need to leave?
- Do I get my deposit back, and when?
- Can I add seats later, and at what price?
- Can I move to a bigger or smaller cabin?
- Does the rent rise when the term renews?
Read the exit clause before you read the price. A cheap rent with a hard exit can cost far more than a fair rent you can leave.
How to get a better price
You can lower your bill without being pushy.
- Offer a longer term. A 6 to 12 month commitment often earns a lower rate than month to month.
- Collect three written quotes and compare them seat for seat.
- Ask for extra meeting room hours instead of a small discount. Hours often cost the operator less.
- Request a discount for your exact team size. One large platform says its advisors win roughly a 15% discount on average, though results vary.
- Visit in person. Quotes often improve once an operator sees a serious buyer.

Frequently asked questions
Is GST charged on a private cabin in Delhi?
Yes. Operators add 18% GST on top of the monthly fee. Always ask whether a quote includes GST, because some listings show prices without it. If your company is GST registered, you may claim input credit. Confirm this with your CA.
How much does a 4 seater cabin cost in Delhi?
Expect about ₹23,600 to ₹40,120 a month in budget areas, ₹47,200 to ₹66,080 in mid range areas, and ₹70,800 or more in premium areas, with GST included. Exact prices depend on the building, the term and what the plan covers.
Is a private cabin cheaper than renting an office?
For small teams, usually yes. A cabin needs a small deposit and starts within days. A rented office asks for a large deposit, furniture, utilities and a fit out that takes months. Over three or more years in one place, a leased office can become cheaper.
What is the minimum lock in period?
Many operators offer 3 to 12 month agreements with a one month lock in. Some allow month to month plans at a higher price. Read the exit clause before you pay anything.
How many people fit in a 4 seater cabin?
Four people fit if the room is large enough. As a guide, plan for 80 to 100 square feet per person. A 4 seater should measure about 320 to 400 square feet. Ask for the exact area before you decide.
Can I put my company logo on the cabin?
Most operators allow a name board or sticker on the cabin door. Some also allow branding inside. Ask about the rules and whether any removal charge applies when you leave.
Do private cabins include meeting room hours?
Often a few hours are included each month. After that, you pay by the hour. Ask how many hours you get and how far ahead you must book.
Can I add more seats later?
Usually yes, if your cabin or a nearby one has space. Ask for the price of extra seats now, so you avoid surprises when your team grows.
Which part of Delhi has the cheapest private cabins?
West and North West Delhi, including Rohini, Pitampura, Dwarka and Janakpuri, usually cost the least. Central and South Delhi cost the most.
Can I use a cabin address for GST registration?
Many operators allow it, but you need a proper rent agreement and address proof. Confirm this in your contract before you rely on the address.
The bottom line
A private cabin in Delhi costs anywhere from a few thousand rupees to over ₹30,000 per seat, and the gap comes down to area, cabin size, team size and what the plan includes. Before you compare any two quotes, ask three things: is the price per seat or per room, is GST included, and how many square feet do we get? Those three answers clear up most of the confusion.
