BSCL Schedule of Rates
About Bhubaneswar Smart City Limited
BSCL was established as the SPV (50:50 GoO + BMC) to implement Bhubaneswar's Smart City programme — selected in the very first Smart Cities Mission list (2015-16). Programme scope spans Smart City corridor (Janpath area), retrofit and redevelopment, Smart Mobility (BBSR ITS), Smart Solid Waste Management, urban green-space initiatives, and IT+ICT integration. BSCL tenders use Works Dept SOR 2022 (already covered) as the rate basis with Smart-City-specific project annexures for unique items (smart-mobility infrastructure, ICT layer civil supports, urban-mobility integration). Smart City programme cost ceilings are governed by central Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs guidelines.
