DMRC Schedule of Rates
📦 Earlier editions (1) — historical reference, not current rates
About Delhi Metro Rail Corporation
DMRC's design and construction approach for Delhi Metro Phases I, II, III and the ongoing Phase IV is captured in the Outline Construction Specification (Civil Works) and Outline Design Specification — companion documents that govern technical scope, structural specs, station design parameters, and maintenance requirements. Civil-works rates derive from CPWD DSR (current edition) supplemented by DMRC's project-specific BoQs published per tender package. DMRC's specifications have become the de-facto template for Indian metro projects — BMRCL Bengaluru, KMRL Kochi, NMRCL Nagpur and Patna Metro all reference DMRC standards in their own tender documentation. The Phase-IV documents (2019 Construction Spec Rev-1, 2021 Design Spec Rev-2) are the most current public references and cover everything from elevated viaduct construction to underground station design and depot civil works.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does DMRC publish its own Schedule of Rates?
No. DMRC uses CPWD DSR for rate analysis and publishes Outline Construction + Design Specifications that govern technical scope. Each metro project tender includes a project-specific BoQ derived from these documents.
What is the difference between Construction Specification and Design Specification?
Construction Specification covers materials, methods, workmanship, quality control and field acceptance. Design Specification covers structural design parameters, loading codes, geometric standards and engineering criteria. Together they define the full technical envelope for a DMRC project.
Are these Phase-IV docs applicable to other metros?
Yes, as a reference. BMRCL, KMRL, NMRCL, MahaMetro and Patna Metro tenders explicitly reference DMRC Outline Specifications for civil-works scope. Each metro applies its own modifications based on local conditions (seismic zone, soil, traffic patterns).
Where do I find rates for a specific metro project?
Each project's tender package on the implementing agency's portal contains the complete rate schedule. For DMRC: delhimetrorail.com/tenders. For BMRCL: english.bmrc.co.in/tenders. Civil-works rates derive from CPWD DSR with metro-specific overheads.
Does the SSOD apply to metro construction?
DFCCIL's Standard Schedule of Dimensions covers Dedicated Freight Corridor (heavy haul). Metros use their own design specifications — DMRC for Indian metros, with each city making local adjustments. Standard gauge and platform-edge clearances follow IS/UIC equivalents adapted for Indian rolling stock.
