Uttarakhand Schedule of Rates
About Uttarakhand PWD / Peyjal Nigam
Uttarakhand's split geography between plain-area districts (Dehradun, Haridwar, Roorkee, Udham Singh Nagar plains) and hilly Garhwal-Kumaon districts (Pauri, Tehri, Chamoli, Rudraprayag, Almora, Pithoragarh, Bageshwar, Champawat, Uttarkashi) drives significant cost variation that the per-district MIS distribution model captures more precisely than any state-wide schedule could. The PWD MIS folder browser at mis.pwduk.in/pwd/sor hosts per-district PDFs allowing engineers to download exactly the schedule applicable to their project location. Plain-area district SORs apply standard CPWD-DSR-style rates; hilly-area rates incorporate altitude-tier premiums, longer haulage from Haridwar/Rishikesh railheads, weather-window restrictions, and snow-belt overheads for districts above 2,000m. Uttarakhand Peyjal Nigam — the state drinking-water authority — publishes a separate Analysis of Rates for water-supply civil and mechanical works including pump-house construction, GLR/ESR civil, transmission mains, and treatment-plant civil. JJM-Uttarakhand schemes derive rates from Peyjal Nigam's AOR layered with district PWD rates for civil scope. Char Dham All Weather Road project (under MoRTH/NHIDCL) and Char Dham Yatra route improvements use NHIDCL/MoRTH rate basis (SDB Vol II — Hilly) rather than state PWD SOR — but state-funded approach roads to Char Dham connection points use Uttarakhand PWD hilly-district SOR. Dehradun Smart City SPV uses Uttarakhand PWD's Dehradun district SOR for civil works supplemented by project-specific annexures for Smart-City-specific items (smart poles, ITS infrastructure, command-and-control civil). The PWD main portal at pwd.uk.gov.in/document-category/circular-estimate-sor lists circulars and FY-specific repositories alongside the MIS browser.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are Uttarakhand SORs per-district?
The state spans plain (Dehradun, Haridwar) and hilly terrain (Garhwal, Kumaon Himalayas). Material lead, labour productivity, weather windows and machinery deployment vary so significantly that per-district SORs are more accurate than a state-wide average.
What is Peyjal Nigam?
Uttarakhand Peyjal Nigam — the state drinking-water authority. It publishes a separate Analysis of Rates for water-supply civil and mechanical works. JJM-Uttarakhand schemes derive rates from Peyjal Nigam's AOR.
Does Uttarakhand have a Smart City SOR?
Dehradun Smart City Ltd (the SPV) uses Uttarakhand PWD's Dehradun district SOR for civil works, supplemented by project-specific annexures for Smart-City-specific items (smart poles, IoT infrastructure, etc.).
What about Char Dham / Yatra route works?
Char Dham All Weather Road project (under MoRTH/NHIDCL) and Yatra route improvements use NHIDCL/MoRTH rate basis (SDB Vol II — Hilly). State-funded approach roads use Uttarakhand PWD hilly-district SOR.
Is the MIS portal the only access?
mis.pwduk.in is the most current MIS browser. The PWD main portal (pwd.uk.gov.in/document-category/circular-estimate-sor) also lists circulars and FY-specific repositories.
