Borewell drilling is essential for accessing groundwater, especially in regions where surface water sources are inadequate. This guide provides an in-depth look at the costs associated with borewell drilling, including drilling expenses, pump and pipe costs, and additional charges. We’ll also highlight how Venkatadri Borewells, a leading borewell contractor in Hyderabad, provides value in this domain.
1. Understanding Borewell Drilling Costs
Borewell drilling costs vary depending on several factors, including the depth of the borewell, the type of soil, the diameter of the borewell, and the equipment used. Here’s a breakdown of the primary costs involved:
Drilling Costs
The cost of drilling a borewell can differ based on depth and the region. On average:
- Up to 100 feet: ₹60 to ₹70 per foot
- 100 to 200 feet: ₹80 to ₹100 per foot
- Above 200 feet: ₹100 per foot and above
These costs can fluctuate depending on local conditions and diesel prices, which affect drilling operations.
Casing Costs
Casing is essential for supporting the borewell and preventing collapse. The typical cost for casing is around ₹200 per foot. For instance:
- 40 feet of casing: 40 feet × ₹200 = ₹8,000
If drilling does not yield water, the casing can be removed, and the cost is halved to ₹4,000.
Equipment Costs
In addition to drilling, setting up a borewell requires various equipment:
- Submersible Pump: ₹26,000 (for a Texmo 5HP pump)
- Starter Box: ₹4,500 (L&T)
- Cable Wire (200 feet): ₹10,000
- Bore Pipes (20 feet each): ₹5,000 (for 8 pipes)
- Service Wire (from electric pole to starter box): ₹2,000
- Gate Valve and Miscellaneous Items: ₹2,000
- Labour Charges for Installation: ₹2,500
The total cost for equipment and installation is approximately ₹52,000.
Miscellaneous Charges
Additional expenses can include:
- Site Assessment by a Geologist: Around ₹500 per acre, or ₹5,000 for a 10-acre survey
- Water Quality Testing: Typically ranges from ₹[amount] to ₹[amount]
- Permits and Documentation: Varies by local regulations
2. Total Cost Calculation
To estimate the total cost of establishing a borewell, consider both the drilling and equipment expenses. For a 200-foot borewell:
- Drilling Cost (200 feet):
- First 100 feet: ₹60/foot × 100 feet = ₹6,000
- Next 100 feet: ₹80/foot × 100 feet = ₹8,000
- Casing Cost (40 feet): ₹8,000
- Miscellaneous Charges: ₹1,000
Total Drilling Cost (A): ₹6,000 + ₹8,000 + ₹8,000 + ₹1,000 = ₹23,000
Total Equipment and Installation Cost (B): ₹26,000 + ₹4,500 + ₹10,000 + ₹5,000 + ₹2,000 + ₹2,000 + ₹2,500 = ₹52,000
Overall Total Cost: ₹23,000 + ₹52,000 = ₹75,000
