What's the CPWD DSR rate for a 5/6A light plug point?
A light-duty 5/6A plug (for lamps, chargers, small appliances) uses the same wiring family as a power plug, just with lighter-rated fixtures. Build-up for a typical 4-metre run.
The recipe

Notes
- Same wiring gauge (2x4 sq.mm) as the 15/16A power plug — CPWD calls both 'light/power plug' wiring. Only the switch, socket and box size change.
- Rates shown are CPWD Delhi base rates from DSR E&M 2022 (CPWD), edition 2026-06-12 — apply your local market / cost-index variation.
