Notes & assumptions
- **MDR (Major District Road)** is the second-highest road tier in the district network (below NH/SH, above ODR/VR). Carries district-level connectivity — village → mandi town, block HQ → tehsil HQ. Typical traffic 30-150 cv/day (commercial vehicle equivalents).
- **Carriageway width** per IRC 73: 3.75 m (single-lane intermediate, sparse-traffic) / 5.5 m (standard MDR, default) / 7.0 m (upgraded MDR or 2-lane in compact terrain). 5.5 m allows 2 small vehicles to pass with care.
- **Pavement spec** between PMGSY and 2-lane SH: GSB 200 + WMM 200 + DBM 50 (optional) + BC 40 mm = ~440-490 mm total compacted thickness. Adequate for 30-150 cv/day with 12-15 year design life per IRC 37.
- **Earthen shoulders** 1.5 m each side per IRC 73 — gives 8.5 m total formation for 5.5 m carriageway. Material is locally-borrowed earth, compacted to 95% MDD. Not separately layered with WMM (unlike paved-shoulder 2-lane).
- **Side drains** are usually earthen 0.6 × 0.6 m trapezoidal — excavated during formation, no lining. Lining (RCC / brick) only at flood-prone or cross-drainage sections.
- **Cost target** for default 5.5 m × 1 km MDR with DBM + BC + drains + markings + signs: approximately **₹50-70 lakh / km** per CPWD DSR 2023. State-PWD MDR rates 8-15 % below DSR.
- **Excludes**: rock excavation in cutting (separate rate via DSR 2.9), pipe culverts at cross-drainage points (use [Hume Pipe Culvert](/boq/hume-pipe-culvert)), bridges (use [Slab Culvert](/boq/slab-culvert) or [Box Culvert](/boq/box-culvert)), retaining walls on hill sections (use [Cantilever Retaining Wall](/boq/cantilever-retaining-wall)), kerb stones (DSR 16.69) for urban-section MDR, reflective road studs (cat's eye, DSR 16.65), bus shelters.
**MDR (Major District Road)** is the district-level connector in India's road network hierarchy — sitting between PMGSY rural roads (below) and State Highways (above). Per **IRC 73 + IRC 37 + MoRTH 5th Revision**, MDRs carry traffic of 30-150 cv/day (commercial vehicle equivalents) with 5.5-7.0 m carriageway + 1.0-1.5 m earthen shoulders on each side. Pavement is flexible bituminous: 200 mm GSB + 200 mm WMM + optional 50 mm DBM binder + 40 mm BC wearing course. Funded by State PWDs; sometimes upgraded via CRF (Central Road Fund) or state-CSS schemes. India has ~470,000 km of MDR network; this BOQ Builder generates the complete per-km cost.
MDR vs PMGSY vs SH — where it fits
**PMGSY rural road** (below MDR): 3.75-5.5 m carriageway, no DBM, lighter pavement (GSB + WMM + BM + BC), serves village-to-village connectivity, MoRD-funded. 100 % central until rationalisation, now 60-40 centre-state. **MDR** (this template): 5.5-7.0 m carriageway, optional DBM, IRC 73 spec, serves district-level connectivity (village → mandi → block HQ), State-PWD funded with sporadic CRF top-ups. **SH (State Highway)** (above MDR): 7.0-10.0 m carriageway with paved shoulders, stronger pavement (GSB + WMM + DBM + BC, often 100 mm DBM), serves inter-district connectivity, state-funded. **NH (National Highway)** (top tier): 2-lane minimum with paved shoulder OR 4/6-lane divided, NHAI / NHDP-funded centrally. The Builder defaults to the 5.5 m standard MDR — flex up/down per your actual scheme.
Per-km cost benchmarks (2026)
**CPWD DSR 2023 basis** for 5.5 m × 1 km MDR with default pavement spec + earthen shoulders + side drains + thermoplastic markings + 4 nos road signs: **₹50-70 lakh / km**. State PWD rates: Maharashtra MJP ₹45-55L/km, Karnataka ₹50-60L/km, Rajasthan PWD ₹40-50L/km, Tamil Nadu Highways ₹55-65L/km. **Cost ladder by carriageway width**: 3.75 m ~₹35-45L; 5.5 m ~₹50-70L (default); 7.0 m ~₹70-90L per km. For hill / heavy-cutting sections add 30-60 % for rock excavation + retaining walls + cross-drainage works.
Frequently asked questions
**MDR (Major District Road)** carries district-level connectivity at IRC 73 spec — 5.5-7.0 m carriageway, optional DBM binder layer, designed for 30-150 cv/day. State PWD funded. **PMGSY road** carries village connectivity at PMGSY Annexure-VII spec — 5.5 m carriageway max (often 3.75 m intermediate), no DBM, lighter pavement, designed for ≤ 100 cv/day. MoRD funded (50 % central in plains, 90 % NE/Hill). Many PMGSY roads get upgraded to MDR after a decade as traffic grows + state takes over maintenance. **Construction-wise** the upgrade adds 50 mm DBM + improves shoulders + adds signage + sometimes widens carriageway from 5.5 to 7.0 m.
