DoWR Odisha Schedule of Rates
About Department of Water Resources, Government of Odisha
DoWR Odisha scope spans the Mahanadi Basin (Hirakud system, Indravati, Subarnarekha), plus medium and minor irrigation programmes across the state's 30 districts. Major capital projects include Hirakud rehabilitation, Polavaram Project (Odisha share), Lower Suktel, Naraj barrage works, and substantial canal-lining + embankment programmes. DoWR civil rates derive from Works Dept SOR 2022 (already covered) for general civil items. Specialised hydraulic items — radial gates, vertical lift gates, syphons, aqueducts, fish-passage structures — appear in per-tender BoQs derived from project-specific rate analysis. No consolidated standalone DoWR SOR is publicly hosted.
