What's the CPWD DSR rate for an AC / geyser 20A outlet?
CPWD has no bundled 'AC point' item — the honest build-up is heavy-gauge power wiring from the DB plus a 20 A industrial socket outlet that comes with its own 20 A MCB in a metal enclosure. Priced here for a typical 6-metre run.

Notes
- For a 1.5-ton split AC on a dedicated circuit this is the standard arrangement — confirm breaker sizing with your electrician for bigger units.
- A plain 15/16 A modular power plug point (lighter loads) is the related recipe.
- Rates shown are CPWD Delhi base rates from DSR E&M 2022 (CPWD), edition 2026-06-12 — apply your local market / cost-index variation.
