 0.5 rm cable price in bd 2025

You're asking about the price of 0.5 sq mm (square millimeter) electrical cable in Bangladesh for the year 2025. While it's difficult to predict exact future prices due to market fluctuations, I can give you an estimated current range based on available price lists from major cable manufacturers in Bangladesh, keeping in mind that prices are often provided per 100 meters.

"RM" in cable terminology usually refers to a stranded conductor (multi-wire), while "RE" refers to a solid conductor (single wire).¹ For 0.5 sq mm, it's typically a single-core wire used for lighter loads, lighting, or internal wiring.

Based on price lists from prominent Bangladeshi cable manufacturers like SQ Group, MEP Cables, and Eastern Cables (some of which have been updated for 2025 or late 2024, providing a good indication for mid-2025), a 0.5 sq mm single-core PVC insulated non-sheathed cable (often labeled as "1x 0.5 re (1-w)" or similar) would generally fall in the range of BDT 700 to BDT 1,500 per 100 meters (including VAT).

Important Considerations:

• Brand: Prices vary significantly between brands (e.g., BRB, SQ, Paradise, Super, Eastern, MEP). Premium brands tend to be more expensive.

• Type of Cable: While 0.5 sq mm is typically for general wiring, there can be variations like fire-retardant (FR) or low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) cables, which would be more expensive.

• Retailer/Wholesaler: Prices can differ depending on whether you're buying from a retail shop or a wholesaler, and the quantity purchased.

• Market Fluctuations: The price of copper, the primary raw material for cables, can impact cable prices.² While I've given a range based on recent price lists, actual prices in mid-2025 might fluctuate.

• VAT: The prices usually include VAT.

To get the most accurate current price, it's always best to:

1. Check with local electrical shops: Visit a few hardware or electrical stores in your area.

2. Contact authorized dealers: Get quotes from authorized dealers of specific cable brands you are considering.

3. Refer to updated price lists: Look for the most recent price lists directly from the manufacturers' websites or their distributors.

Given the current date is July 23, 2025, the price lists from late 2024 and early 2025 are likely still quite relevant.

"RM" in cable terminology usually refers to "multi-strand round conductor wire" (as opposed to "RE" which is single solid conductor, or "SM" which is multi-strand sector-shaped wire).¹

However, "0.5 RM cable" is not a standard electrical cable size. Cable sizes are typically denoted by their cross-sectional area in square millimeters (mm²), such as 0.75 mm², 1.0 mm², 1.5 mm², 2.5 mm², etc. It's possible "0.5 RM" might refer to a very small, specific type of wire, but it's not commonly used for general electrical wiring.

Assuming you meant 0.5 mm² multi-strand round conductor wire (which is a very small gauge, likely for low-current applications or internal wiring of appliances):

It's challenging to give a precise 2025 price for such a small, potentially less common cable size in Bangladesh without knowing the specific brand, type (e.g., PVC insulated, FR, FRLS), and whether it's single-core or multi-core.

However, based on typical pricing structures from Bangladeshi cable manufacturers (like BRB, Partex, SQ, Eastern Cables, MEP), and considering price lists are usually provided per 100 meters:

• For a 0.75 mm² (single-core, multi-strand) cable, which is the smallest common size listed, prices from early 2025 range roughly from BDT 2,000 to BDT 2,300 per 100 meters.

• A 0.5 mm² cable, if available, would likely be slightly cheaper than a 0.75 mm² cable.

Therefore, a very rough estimate for 0.5 mm² RM cable in Bangladesh in 2025 might be in the range of BDT 1,500 to BDT 2,000 per 100 meters.

To get an accurate price, you would need to:

1. Specify the exact cross-sectional area: Is it genuinely 0.5 mm², or perhaps 0.75 mm² or 1.0 mm²?

2. Specify the brand: Prices vary between manufacturers (BRB, Partex, SQ, Eastern, MEP, etc.).

3. Specify the type: Is it standard PVC, Fire Retardant (FR), Fire Retardant Low Smoke (FRLS), etc.?

4. Contact local electrical shops or distributors: For the most up-to-date and specific pricing, it's always best to check with electrical suppliers in Bangladesh.
