Blood test price in Bangalore: 2026 price guide by test and area
Real Bengaluru prices for CBC, lipid, thyroid, LFT, KFT, HbA1c, vitamin D, and full body packages — plus how to spot inflated rates.
Blood-test pricing in Bangalore is opaque on purpose. The same lipid profile that costs ₹350 in a Jayanagar neighbourhood lab is ₹1,400 in a Whitefield hospital chain. Here are the typical ranges we see across Bengaluru in 2026, and what they should actually include.
Routine blood tests — Bangalore price range (2026)
| Test | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| CBC (complete blood count) | ₹150 | ₹250 | ₹500 |
| Lipid profile | ₹300 | ₹500 | ₹1,200 |
| Liver function test (LFT) | ₹400 | ₹600 | ₹1,400 |
| Kidney function test (KFT/RFT) | ₹400 | ₹650 | ₹1,500 |
| Thyroid (TSH only) | ₹150 | ₹250 | ₹500 |
| Thyroid profile (T3, T4, TSH) | ₹400 | ₹600 | ₹1,200 |
| HbA1c (diabetes) | ₹300 | ₹450 | ₹900 |
| Vitamin D (25-OH) | ₹800 | ₹1,200 | ₹2,400 |
| Vitamin B12 | ₹700 | ₹1,000 | ₹2,000 |
| Iron studies | ₹600 | ₹900 | ₹1,800 |
| Urine routine | ₹80 | ₹150 | ₹300 |
| ESR / CRP | ₹150 | ₹250 | ₹600 |
The "high" column is usually a hospital chain or a centre in a premium catchment (UB City, Indiranagar 100ft Road, Sadashivanagar). The "low" column is most often a neighbourhood lab in Jayanagar, BTM, Rajajinagar, or Vijayanagar.
Full body checkup packages
| Package size | Typical Bangalore price | What's usually inside |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | ₹999 - ₹1,499 | CBC, lipid, LFT, KFT, TSH, urine, fasting sugar |
| Comprehensive | ₹1,800 - ₹3,500 | Above + HbA1c, vitamin D, vitamin B12, calcium, iron, ECG |
| Executive | ₹4,500 - ₹9,000 | Above + thyroid profile, hormones, tumour markers, USG abdomen, X-ray chest |
| Premium / cardiac | ₹9,000 - ₹18,000 | Above + 2D echo, TMT, full cardiac risk panel |
Discounts of 20-40% are routine if you book directly via the centre's website or WhatsApp instead of through an aggregator. Always ask.
Where the markup hides
- Sample-collection fee — should be ₹100-₹250 in Bangalore; some centres quote "free" and add ₹400 in "consumables" at the door.
- GST — diagnostic services are exempt from GST in India. If you see GST on a blood-test bill, ask for the line item to be removed.
- Doctor consultation — sometimes bundled silently. Decline if you didn't ask for it.
- Report-courier charge — most labs email the PDF free. Hard-copy delivery should be optional.
Area-wise price patterns
- Lowest typical pricing: Jayanagar, BTM Layout, Vijayanagar, Rajajinagar, Banashankari.
- Mid-range: Koramangala, HSR Layout, JP Nagar, Marathahalli, Electronic City.
- Highest: Indiranagar (premium chains), Whitefield (hospital labs), UB City / Lavelle Road area, Sadashivanagar.
The same chain often runs different prices at different branches in Bangalore — confirm the branch when you ask for a quote.
How to actually save money
- WhatsApp two or three centres on Locatemycentre with the test list. Pick the cheapest NABL-accredited option.
- For repeat tests (thyroid, vitamin D, HbA1c) ask the centre for a "follow-up patient" discount — most give 10-15% off.
- Bundle tests on the same draw. Three separate visits cost more than one panel.
- Skip the courier fee — accept the PDF.
