Methodology adopted for revising material prices Material Prices: Weighted Average rate of all ESCOM's for materials where the procurement rates are available from to The prevailing SR rates are updated using IEEMA PV formulae.

7 The PV Indices for January-2017 and the average of indices from July-2017 to June-2018 were considered for updating the rates using IEEMA. PV. Pro-rata rates on the basis of rates available for similar material. Worked out rate for the materials like Poles, Conductor & Line materials. Neighboring state rates for the materials having common specification. Market/Vendor Rates for remaining items. Independent Committee rates for RMUs and Transformers. KPWD Electrical Schedule of Rates. Existing CSR 2016-17 Rates. KPWD Civil Schedule of Rates.

8 Rates for 33kv System: Rates derived from weighted average of procurement rates and updated rates using IEEMA PV are considered for 33kv system works.
