What's the CPWD DSR rate for a light point? (Group A vs B vs C)
Unlike plug points, CPWD prices a light point as ONE bundled item — wiring, conduit, switch, box and earthing all included in a single rate. The rate changes by 'Group', which is CPWD's way of banding the wiring run length (Group A = shortest, C = longest).
