Telangana Common Schedule of Rates

Base construction rates set by the Panchayat Raj Engineering Department. Telangana's Common Schedule of Rates uniquely covers Irrigation, Roads & Bridges, Buildings, and Public Health works together in one document — unlike Tamil Nadu, where PWD publishes a separate SoR just for its own works.

Newer 2024–25 and 2025–26 editions exist (effective 1 June 2025) but were only found on non-government mirror sites (Scribd) during research — only the confirmed 2022–23 .gov.in PDF is linked here, per our own sourcing rule of preferring .gov.in where one exists.

CPWD Schedule of Rates

Central Public Works Department Plinth Area Rates — set nationally, not specific to Telangana. Lives on its own page and is linked from every state's Building page instead of being repeated on each one.

Building Control Rules — Official Document

Telangana Building Rules 2012 (GO Ms No. 168, dated 07-04-2012, Municipal Administration & Urban Development Dept., as amended). No single stable direct PDF link could be confirmed this session — the card below is DTCP's own department site, not a bare PDF, so you'll need to navigate to its Acts/GOs section from there.

Authority Websites

HMDA and DTCP issue planning permission. For ordinary buildings inside HMDA's Hyderabad metro area, the actual building permit is issued by GHMC through TG-bPASS — a separate site and a separate step, the same relationship as Greater Chennai Corporation to CMDA.

Note on sourcing. CPWD, the Common SoR PDF, and the confirmed authority links above are hosted on official .gov.in domains, verified live as of August 2026. Several Telangana portals are mid-rename ("TS-" transitioning to "TG-" after the 2023-24 change of government), and the state's own land/building portals have already been renamed more than once in recent years — so links here carry a somewhat higher chance of moving than average; search the department name directly if one breaks.
