What's the CPWD DSR rate for G.I. pipe water supply line?
Galvanised iron pipe, fittings and clamps included, fixed exposed on wall for internal work — priced per metre by pipe size. 15 mm feeds a single tap run; 20-25 mm are the usual house mains.
Preliminary Using CPWD DSR 2021 (Civil) item rates as published, this worked scenario adds up to ₹304.15 (items 18.10.1). 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.
