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. 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.

5 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. Rates for 33KV System: Rates derived from weighted average of procurement rates and updated rates using IEEMA PV are considered for 33KV system works. Also KPTCL SR 2016 rates have been adopted for some of the materials. Scrap Materials: 1. The scrap rates are the disposal rates of BESCOM through MSTC. These rates are only indicative. 2. The scrap transformers of different make have different sizes of tanks, different weights of coils, cores etc., hence disposal of such scrap transformers have to be made on the basis of rates of individual parts instead of whole transformer.
