Chandigarh Officials to Discuss Master Plan Amendments with Amit Shah
Senior Chandigarh officials, including UT Chief Secretary H Rajesh Prasad, are scheduled to meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah to discuss proposed amendments to the Chandigarh Master Plan 2031. Key proposals include increasing Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 1.2 to 3.0 and allowing building heights up to 30 metres in Phase III sectors, peripheral, and industrial areas. The changes aim to support vertical growth and revive micro, small, and medium enterprises by easing construction norms, with industrial associations welcoming the move. The administration plans to present a detailed roadmap highlighting these regulatory adjustments to accommodate the city's growing population and urban development needs.
