What's the CPWD DSR rate for a 15/16A power plug point?
A power plug point (for an AC, geyser, washing machine or similar 15/16A load) isn't a single bundled item in CPWD's book — it's wiring plus a socket plus a switch plus a box, priced separately and added up. Here's the item-wise build-up for a typical 6-metre run from the distribution board.
The recipe
| Code | Description | Unit | Rate | Qty | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.12 | Wiring for light/ power plug with 2X4 sq. mm FRLS PVC insulated copper conductor single core cable in surface/ recessed medium class PVC conduit along with 1 No 4 sq. mm FRLS PVC insulated copper conductor single core cable for loop earthing as required.6 metre wiring run — adjust to your actual DB-to-point distance | Metre | ₹334 | 6 | ₹2,004 |
| 1.24.3 | Supplying and fixing following modular switch/ socket on the existing modular plate & switch box including connections but excluding modular plate etc. as required — 15/16 amp switch | Each | ₹156 | 1 | ₹156 |

Notes
- CPWD does not sell 'plug point' as one bundled item the way it does light/fan points — it's always a build-up of wiring + switch + socket + box, which is why this recipe has five lines instead of one.
- Wiring quantity scales with the actual run length on site — the BOQ Builder lets you change the 6m figure.
- Rates shown are CPWD Delhi base rates from DSR E&M 2022 (CPWD), edition 2026-06-12 — apply your local market / cost-index variation.
