ICU Bed Price in India: Manual, 3 Function and 5 Function Electric
ICU beds in India range from under Rs 20,000 to well over Rs 90,000. This guide explains the price bands, what each bed function does, and which bed suits an ICU, HDU or ward.
How much does an ICU bed cost in India? Supplier listings in October 2026 show manual ICU beds at about Rs 18,000 to Rs 40,000, 3-function electric beds from about Rs 45,000, and 5-function electric beds at about Rs 60,000 to Rs 90,000. Premium motorised beds with CPR release and separate patient and nurse controls cost more. The number of functions, motor quality, rails, castors and service decide the price.
ICU Bed Price Ranges in India
These ranges come from prices published on Indian B2B and online medical marketplaces (sources at the end). They are indicative, often exclude GST, delivery and mattress, and change with build and order size.
| Bed type | Typical price range | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|
| Manual ICU bed (3 to 5 function, crank) | Rs 18,000 to Rs 40,000 | Wards, HDU, smaller hospitals |
| 3-function electric ICU bed | From about Rs 45,000 | HDU, step-down, private rooms |
| 5-function electric ICU bed | Rs 60,000 to Rs 90,000 | ICU, CCU, critical care |
| Premium motorised ICU bed | Above standard electric beds; quote-based | High-acuity ICUs |
Online stores list ICU beds from about Rs 17,000 to Rs 56,000 at sale prices, mostly for 3 and 5 function models.
3 Function vs 5 Function: What the Functions Mean
- Back-rest: raises the upper body for breathing, eating and preventing aspiration.
- Knee-rest: bends the knees so patients do not slide down the bed.
- Hi-low (height): lowers the bed for safe transfers and raises it for nursing care.
- Trendelenburg: tilts the whole bed head-down.
- Reverse Trendelenburg: tilts the whole bed head-up.
A 3-function bed has the first three. A 5-function bed adds the two tilts, which ICU teams use often.
What Drives the Price of an ICU Bed
1. Manual or electric
Electric actuators, control boxes and handsets cost more than crank mechanisms, but save nursing time on every position change.
2. Frame and surfaces
CRCA steel frames with epoxy powder coating, ABS moulded head and foot panels, and perforated mattress platforms are common. Better finishes resist corrosion from daily disinfection.
3. Rails, castors and brakes
ABS or aluminium collapsible side rails, 5-inch castors, and central locking brakes improve safety and make transfers easier.
4. Safety extras
A CPR release that flattens the back-rest quickly, degree indicators, separate patient and nurse controls, and battery backup for actuators add cost and matter in critical care.
5. Service
Actuators and handsets are the parts most likely to need repair. Check spare part availability and service response time in your city.

ICU Bed Price in India: FAQs
How much does an ICU bed cost in India?
Supplier listings in October 2026 show manual ICU beds at about Rs 18,000 to Rs 40,000, 3-function electric ICU beds from about Rs 45,000, and 5-function electric ICU beds at about Rs 60,000 to Rs 90,000. Premium motorised beds with CPR release and separate patient and nurse controls cost more.
What is the difference between a 3 function and 5 function ICU bed?
A 3-function bed adjusts the back-rest, knee-rest and height. A 5-function bed adds Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg (tilting the whole bed head-down or head-up), which ICU teams use for shock, central line insertion and reflux or breathing problems.
Manual or electric ICU bed: which is better?
Electric beds let nurses and patients change position at the touch of a button, which saves staff time and suits ICUs with frequent repositioning. Manual crank beds cost less and need no power, so they suit wards and smaller hospitals with steady staffing and frequent power cuts.
What features matter most in an ICU bed?
Number of functions, height range, safe working load, strong side rails, castors with central or individual brakes, a CPR release, an IV pole, X-ray compatibility if needed, easy-clean surfaces, and local service for actuators.
Is a mattress included in the ICU bed price?
Often not. Many quotes are for the bed frame only. Ask whether a mattress is included and price a pressure-relief mattress separately for long-stay ICU patients.
