What's the CPWD DSR rate for interlocking paver blocks?
Factory-made concrete interlocking pavers over a 50 mm compacted sand bed, joints sand-filled — one bundled rate per square metre. Thickness and grade decide which item applies.
Preliminary Using CPWD DSR 2021 (Civil) item rates as published, this worked scenario adds up to ₹951 (items 16.68). 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.

Notes
- The base preparation below the sand bed (soling, WBM or PCC, as your site needs) is extra over these rates.
- Rates shown are CPWD Delhi base rates from CPWD DSR 2021 (Civil), as published (our extract of the book is dated 2025) — apply your local market / cost-index variation.
- CPWD has published later editions since (its site lists DSR 2023); the 2021 figures here are reference rates, not the schedule in force for a current tender.
- The item mix and quantities on this page are a NirmanDost worked scenario; the rates, units and descriptions in each row are CPWD's, verbatim. Every code opens in CivicMate for the source row.
