Borehole drilling in Pakistan: prices and what to check

Updated 5 November 2026

Borehole drilling in Pakistan costs roughly Rs 600 to Rs 1,200 per foot, depending on depth, bore size and whether casing pipe and site clearing are included. The quickest way to see current prices for your plot is to create a request on BlaBlaPrice, where the AI looks through sellers' websites and price lists in your city and shows what it finds.

Permits and what to ask in writing

Some online notes say a drilling permit or application is needed before a borehole is dug, and that the form asks for the intended use of the water and details of the contractor and the property. Ask the driller whether they handle this step and whether it is included in their quote, and get the answer in writing before you agree.

Season: why November suits drilling

Pakistan has a desert climate. Summers from May to September are very hot, while winters from November to March are mild. The main reason to plan the work for the cooler months is the heat, which makes long days on the rig hard for crews. Booking now, in November, leaves time to finish the work before next summer.

How drilling is priced and delivered

Quotes here are usually per foot, not per metre, so ask for the total for your expected depth. Check whether the price includes the casing pipe and the site clearing, because some residential quotes include both while others list them separately. The rig has to reach your plot, so tell the seller the area of your city and whether the road is wide enough for a rig.

What to write in your request

Say whether you need a new bore or a repair, the place in your city, the depth you expect, the casing pipe you want, and what the water is for, such as a house, a farm or a factory. Add the rig access, your deadline and your budget in Rs. Sellers reply with a price, terms and delivery, so you can compare like with like.

On BlaBlaPrice the request is free for buyers. Describe the job in your own words in the chat, add a photo of the site if you have one, and the AI asks for anything missing. Sellers reply in the chat with their own offer, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide with whom to exchange them. If you already have a driller in mind, you can send them the request link yourself. For related work, see Construction & renovation and Turnkey construction.
