Distemper, emulsion, texture, royale? A transparent price breakdown for 2BHK and 3BHK homes in Hyderabad, including labour, primer and putty.

Ignore the marketing names. There are really only four categories of interior paint that matter in a Hyderabad home.
- Distemper — cheapest, chalks off in 2 years. Only for rentals.
- Standard emulsion (Asian Tractor, Berger Bison) — 4–5 year life, matte finish.
- Premium emulsion (Royale, Silk) — 7+ year life, washable, richer colour.
- Textured / designer finishes — decorative walls only, priced per sqft of that wall.

Where painters cut corners
The most common shortcut is skipping the primer coat and thinning the paint with 15–20% extra water. It looks fine for 6 months, then the walls chalk. Ask for the empty paint tins to be left behind — this simple ask stops 90% of dilution issues.
FAQs
Can I stay in the flat while painting is done?
