The Centre has enhanced floor area ratio (FAR) and ground coverage in Delhi, a move that is likely to facilitate more effective utilisation of space in the teeming metropolis.
The FAR for plots measuring 750 sq metres to 1,000 sq metres has been enhanced from 150% to 200% while FAR for plots measuring 1,000 sq metres and above has been hiked from 120% to 200%.
Similarly, ground coverage has been increased from 40% to 50% for plots of 1,000 sq metres and above while that for plots of 750-1,000 sq metres will remain at 50%, according to a statement from the urban development ministry.
"This is one more signal from the government to kickstart the economy. It is a good signal for greater urbanisation, for brownfield redevelopment of Delhi," said Rajeev Talwar, executive director of real estate developer DLF.
The government has talked about vertical developments in cities rather than going for an urban sprawl and this move will help improve utilisation of space in the city.
The statement, however, does not provide clarity on whether buildings utilising the additional FAR will be allowed to go higher than the stipulated four floors (17.5 metres) and whether there are any other conditions for utilising the additional FAR. "These kind of big plots are in areas which have relatively better infrastructure. It will now encourage redevelopment of these areas," said Amit Sarin, director at Delhi-based builder Anant Raj Industries. At an FAR of 200%, a 1,000 sq metre plot c ..
In good news for residential apartment owners in Delhi, the Urban Development Ministry has enhanced the floor area ratio (FAR).
While the FAR has been increased from 150 per cent to 200 per cent in respect of plots of 750-1000 sq mt, the same was enhanced from 120 per cent to 200 per cent for plots of 1000 sq mt and above, a senior official of UD Ministry said adding UD Minister M Venkaiah Naidu approved the proposal of Delhi Development Authority (DDA) in this regard on Monday.
The Ministry has also approved enhancement of Ground Coverage for residential areas in Delhi, said the official. FAR enhancement means proportional increase in total built-up area, which will result in more spacious rooms or floors on the same plot, depending on the ground coverage.
However, the benefits of revised FAR will go to plots of 1000 sq mt and above as the ground coverage for them was raised from 40 per cent to 50 per cent. For plots of 750-1000 sq mt, the ground coverage will remain at 50 per cent.
DDA has proposed an amendment to this effect to the Master Plan Delhi-2021 and firmed up the same after inviting objections and suggestions from the public. With land being in short supply in major NCR cities like Delhi and the demand for housing rising by the day, the increase in FAR is being considered as a welcome step.
