If you’ve spent any time trying to figure out what a security guard should actually cost you in Delhi, you’ve probably run into the same wall we did when we started: everyone wants to “discuss it on a call” before giving you a number. That’s not how we like to do things, so here’s an honest breakdown.
Note: The ranges below reflect typical Delhi-NCR market rates as of 2026 and are meant as a starting reference — actual quotes depend on shift length, guard training level, and site risk profile. Ask us directly for a number specific to your site.
What actually drives the cost
Most people assume “a guard is a guard,” but pricing swings quite a bit depending on a few things:
- Shift pattern — 8-hour vs 12-hour shifts change your monthly math significantly
- Guard category — an unarmed static guard costs less than a supervisor-grade or armed personnel
- Location risk — a warehouse in an industrial belt has different requirements than a retail showroom in a high-footfall market
- Uniform, equipment, and training — PSARA-compliant agencies (like us) factor in mandatory training hours, background verification, and equipment costs into the quote, which sometimes makes us look “more expensive” than an unlicensed local contractor. That difference is exactly what you’re paying for.
Rough monthly ranges you can expect (per guard)
- Basic unarmed guard, 8-hour shift: typically falls in the ₹25,000–₹34,000/month range
- 12-hour shift, single guard: typically ₹30,000–₹38,000/month
- Supervisor / team lead: typically ₹32,000–₹45,000/month
- Specialized roles (personal security officers, event security staff): priced per assignment, varies a lot by scope
These are ballpark figures — please treat them as a starting conversation, not a quote. Every site is different, and we’d rather give you an honest number after actually looking at your requirement than throw a lowball figure at you that changes once we visit.
Why the “cheapest guard” is usually the most expensive mistake
We’ve had prospective clients call us after going with the lowest bidder elsewhere, only to deal with guards who weren’t properly verified, weren’t trained on basic incident response, or simply stopped showing up. A guard who costs 20% less but isn’t PSARA-verified isn’t a discount — it’s a liability sitting at your gate.
TS5 Secure is a PSARA-licensed agency, which means every guard we deploy has gone through the verification and training process the license legally requires. That’s non-negotiable for us, and honestly, it should be for you too.
Bottom line
If someone gives you an exact number without ever asking about your site, shift pattern, or risk profile — be a little skeptical. A real quote takes 10 minutes of questions, not a sales pitch.
