NDMC to Clarify Building Works Requiring Plan Approval, Launch Awareness Campaign
The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) will publish a detailed list specifying which building works require prior plan approval and which are exempt, aiming to clarify compliance for building users. Chairman Manoj Kumar Dwivedi highlighted that lack of awareness often leads to unnecessary permission applications and enforcement issues. The NDMC will differentiate structural changes from routine maintenance and launch an awareness campaign to reduce confusion. Repairs under sections 236 to 239 of the NDMC Act still require assessment, even without floor area ratio changes.
