Half-brick (115mm / 4.5-inch) partition masonry, common burnt clay F.P.S. bricks, in superstructure — CPWD prices this one by area (sqm) since it's a thin non-load-bearing wall.
Preliminary Using CPWD DSR 2021 (Civil) item rates as published, this worked scenario adds up to ₹1,043.10 (items 6.13.1). The item rates are CPWD's Delhi base rates; the quantities and the item mix are NirmanDost's scenario, not a CPWD bundle — adjust both to your site and apply your local cost index.
