Uttarakhand PWD Schedule of Rates 2025-26: District-Wise SOR

Uttarakhand does not have a Schedule of Rates. It has thirteen of them.

Every edition the Uttarakhand PWD publishes is organised as 13 district folders, one for each district in the state. The rate for the same item of work — the same excavation, the same brickwork, the same bitumen course — is not the same in Dehradun as it is in Uttarkashi. If you price a tender against the wrong district's book, the arithmetic is wrong from the first line, and no amount of care further down the estimate recovers it.

This is the detail that makes Uttarakhand harder to price than most states, and it is compounded by a second one: the current edition is not the same across the state either.

What is on the portal right now

The Uttarakhand PWD serves its schedules through a management information system at mis.pwduk.in/pwd/sor rather than as a single downloadable rate book. As of this writing it lists, newest first:

Entry	Financial year	Coverage
Revise SOR 23-3-26	FY 2025-26	Champawat only
Revise SOR 17-2-26	FY 2025-26	Uttarkashi, Pauri, Chamoli, Rudraprayag, Almora, Pithoragarh, Champawat
Revise SOR 6-2-26	FY 2025-26	A similar set of hill districts
Revised SOR FY 2024-25	FY 2024-25	13 district folders
SOR FY 2024-25	FY 2024-25	13 district folders
SOR FY 2022-23	FY 2022-23	13 district folders

Three departmental letters sit alongside the schedules, covering 2022-23, 2024-25, and the revised 2024-25 issue.

Read that table carefully, because it does not say what a quick glance suggests. The FY 2025-26 entries are revisions, not a new statewide edition. Each names particular districts. The last edition published as a complete set of 13 district folders is the Revised SOR FY 2024-25.

The practical consequence

So "the current Uttarakhand SOR" has two different answers depending on where the work is:

• In the named hill districts — Uttarkashi, Pauri, Chamoli, Rudraprayag, Almora, Pithoragarh, Champawat — there is an FY 2025-26 revision, and Champawat has been revised twice, most recently on 23 March 2026.
• Everywhere else, including Dehradun, Haridwar, Nainital, and Udham Singh Nagar, the newest published rates remain the Revised SOR FY 2024-25.

That the revisions cluster in the hill districts is not surprising. District-wise schedules exist in the first place because carriage dominates cost in hill terrain: the lead and lift for aggregate, sand, cement, and steel to a site at altitude can exceed the cost of the material itself, and those carriage components move faster than the base material rates do. Districts where transport is the volatile input get revised more often than districts where it is not.

Two cautions follow. First, a revision superseding part of a district's schedule does not necessarily supersede all of it — check which items the revision actually restates before assuming it replaces the FY 2024-25 rate for every line. Second, and more important than anything above: the edition cited in the tender document governs. A notice floated in 2026-27 may still require pricing against SOR FY 2024-25, and where it does, the 2026 revision is not the book you use. The newest edition published and the applicable edition are different questions.

Matching the schedule to the tender

The sequence that avoids the common failure is short:

1. Read the district off the tender, not off the client's address. The division issuing the notice and the site are not always in the same district.
2. Read the financial year the notice cites. If it names an edition, that edition governs, full stop.
3. Only then check whether a revision applies to that district and that financial year.
4. Confirm on the portal. Editions and links on state portals change without notice, and mis.pwduk.in may only resolve from within India.

Where the tender's Bill of Quantities has to be mapped item by item onto the schedule, the mechanics are the same as anywhere else — see how rate analysis builds up a unit rate and how a BOQ differs from the SOR it is priced against. Uttarakhand simply adds a district dimension to the lookup.

How Uttarakhand compares

Uttarakhand is one of a handful of states that distribute rates district-wise rather than publishing one statewide book; Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat do the same. Most states publish a single schedule with a cost index or a zone factor layered on top, which is how CPWD handles regional variation in the DSR. Karnataka's approach, by contrast, splits by work type across volumes rather than by geography.

Uttarakhand does not adopt the CPWD DSR. Its own schedule governs state public works, and the DSR is relevant only for central works executed in the state.

For every other state's publishing department, current edition, and official link, see the Schedule of Rates by state directory. Where a department's PDF can be transcribed unambiguously, we publish the rate items as searchable tables with free Excel and CSV downloads — Uttarakhand is not among them yet, because rates distributed as per-district files need a parser per district before the result can be trusted.

Pricing against the right district and year

The work that actually consumes an estimator's day is not finding the PDF. It is mapping a tender's BOQ onto the correct district's schedule for the correct financial year, catching the items a revision has restated, and knowing where your rates are exposed if the schedule moved after the notice was issued. Arched's estimation engine reads the tender, identifies the applicable schedule, and flags those exposures before submission — which matters more in a state where "the applicable schedule" has thirteen answers and two live financial years.

Editions and links change often, and the Uttarakhand PWD portal may only open from within India. Confirm the current schedule for your district on the official source before bidding.
