What's the CPWD DSR rate for TMT steel reinforcement, per quintal?
Steel reinforcement for RCC work — straightening, cutting, bending, placing and binding — priced per kg in the DSR book. Shown here for 1 quintal (100 kg) since that's how site purchases are usually discussed.
Preliminary Using CPWD DSR 2021 (Civil) item rates as published, this worked scenario adds up to ₹8,965 (items 5.22.6). 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
- DSR's own unit is Kg — the table shows a 100 kg quantity to give a 1-quintal total.
- 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.
