Chandigarh Industrialists Propose Practical Amendments to Master Plan Bylaws and Land Use Policy
Industry representatives in Chandigarh have submitted objections and suggestions on proposed amendments to the Industrial Building Bylaws and Land Use Policy under the Chandigarh Master Plan 2031. They welcomed the administration's initiative to update policies but urged practical, growth-oriented changes. Key concerns include linking enhanced Floor Area Ratio (FAR) to infrastructure pressure despite limited improvements, calls for rationalizing FAR charges to match neighboring states, and allowing vertical expansion without mandatory reconstruction to avoid financial burdens. Stakeholders also requested inclusion of older industrial areas under mixed land use provisions to reflect evolving business needs.
