Microsoft SQL Server Price List — India

SQL Server Standard, Enterprise, Web, Developer plus SQL CALs — India pricing across 2019, 2022 and 2025.

Microsoft SQL Server is the leading relational database engine for Windows-based workloads. India pricing depends on edition (Standard vs Enterprise), version (2019, 2022, 2025) and licensing model (per-core, or Server + CAL).

All prices below include 18 % GST. As authorised Microsoft partners we hold Open Value volume-licensing rights, so Volume licensing is typically 12 – 18 % cheaper than the ESD retail price.

Per-Core vs Server+CAL — which is cheaper?

Choose Server + CAL when you have a small named-user list (say up to 30 users) and a small server (≤ 8 physical cores). Cheaper than 4 core-pack licences.

Choose Per-Core when the server has many concurrent users (customer-facing web apps, business-intelligence tools, high-transaction workloads) or when you cannot easily count users (public websites). Per-core is licensed in blocks of 2 cores, minimum 4 cores per instance.

Frequently asked questions

How much does SQL Server 2022 Standard cost in India?
SQL Server 2022 Standard per-core (2 core pack) is approximately ₹79,000 – ₹87,000 in India, including 18 % GST. A typical 8-core server needs 4 × 2-core packs = ₹3,16,000 – ₹3,48,000.
Difference between SQL Server Standard and Enterprise?
Enterprise adds features critical for high-availability + big-data workloads — Always On Availability Groups (unlimited), Transparent Data Encryption, columnstore indexes, in-memory OLTP, partitioning across databases, and no memory limits. Standard caps at 128 GB buffer pool and has restricted HA options.
Is SQL Server 2025 available in India?
Yes — SQL Server 2025 released in November 2024. It's available in India through INDIA ENTERPRISES on both per-core and Server+CAL licensing (Standard) and per-core (Enterprise).
Do I need SQL CALs if I use per-core licensing?
No — per-core licensing does not require CALs. Any number of users can connect. This is why per-core is the norm for customer-facing web/mobile apps where user counts are unknown or unbounded.
