Meghalaya PWD Schedule of Rates
About Office of the Chief Engineer, PWD (Roads), Government of Meghalaya
Meghalaya's distinctive distribution model — embedding SOR inside specific tender NITs rather than publishing a standalone booklet — reflects the state's small tender volume and decentralised PWD organisation. The Khasi-Jaintia-Ri-Bhoi region SoR 2020-21 (2nd Revision) is the most-cited current reference. Engineers in Shillong, Tura, Jowai, Williamnagar projects extract rates from the NIT annexure rather than a state-wide PDF. The Garo Hills region maintains its own circle-level rate references inside Tura-circle NITs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why isn't there a standalone Meghalaya SOR?
Meghalaya distributes SOR as part of major tender NITs rather than as a consolidated booklet. This is unusual but reflects the state's small tender volume and PWD organisation. Engineers reference the NIT-embedded annexures for rate analysis.
How do I find the latest SoR?
Browse meghalaya.gov.in/tenders for recent NITs from PWD(R) — the SoR annexure is typically inside larger road/bridge NITs. The 2020-21 (2nd Revision) is the most recent comprehensive document. NIT_PW_TB_RD_55 carries it.
Are Khasi-Jaintia-Ri-Bhoi rates different from Garo Hills?
Yes. The state has two regional zones with separate rate references — Khasi/Jaintia/Ri-Bhoi (eastern, Shillong-administered) and Garo Hills (western, Tura-administered). Labour markets and material lead differ markedly.
What about JJM-Meghalaya?
PHED-Meghalaya handles JJM. PHED maintains a separate rate framework, generally referencing CPHEEO Manual + state PWD building rates for civil scope.
How does PMGSY-Meghalaya work?
PMGSY uses NRIDA adoption methodology layered on Meghalaya PWD reference rates. PMGSY-specific tender annexures are project-specific.
