Standard grade · 20 MPa
The minimum grade permitted by IS 456 for reinforced concrete in mild exposure. Widely used for G+2 residential frames, staircases and lintels.
Where it is used
Residential slabs, columns and footings in low-rise work.
The minimum grade permitted by IS 456 for reinforced concrete in mild exposure. Widely used for G+2 residential frames, staircases and lintels. Under IS 456, M20 is suited to moderate exposure, which fixes a minimum cement content of 300 kg per cubic metre and a maximum free water-cement ratio of 0.55. Those two limits are durability requirements, not strength requirements, and they cannot be traded away to save cost. A mix that hits 20 MPa on a cube but exceeds the water-cement limit will still corrode its reinforcement early.
Slump is set at 100-125 mm depending on how the concrete is placed. Chute discharge sits at the lower end of that band, line pumping in the middle, and boom placement or congested reinforcement at the upper end. Slump is achieved with admixture, never with added water. If anyone at site asks the driver to add water to the drum, the load stops being M20.

Questions
Our indicative rate for M20 is Rs. 4,750 per cubic metre ex-GST at base, varying by delivery location. Add 18 percent GST, plus pumping charges if the concrete cannot be discharged by chute. Rates move with cement and aggregate input costs, so confirm at the time of booking.
The minimum grade permitted by IS 456 for reinforced concrete in mild exposure. Widely used for G+2 residential frames, staircases and lintels. Typical applications are residential slabs, columns and footings in low-rise work.
M20 is a design mix with a characteristic compressive strength of 20 MPa at 28 days. Minimum cement content is 300 kg per cubic metre, maximum free water-cement ratio 0.55, nominal aggregate 20 mm, and slump 100-125 mm depending on placement method. Suitable for moderate exposure conditions under IS 456 Table 5.
A standard transit mixer carries 6 cubic metres. Part loads below 6 cum are supplied but attract a flat charge, because the drum and the trip are committed regardless of how much concrete is inside.
Yes. Line pumps carry a 15 cum minimum and boom placers a 30 cum minimum, charged per cubic metre on top of the basic rate. Confirm placement equipment at the time of booking, since equipment availability is usually the binding constraint.
