Chandigarh Administration Approves Master Plan-2031 Amendments Including FAR Revisions
The Chandigarh Administration approved amendments to the Master Plan-2031, scaling back several initial proposals. Key changes include permitting stilt floors for parking only on vacant government plots in Phase II and raising the floor area ratio (FAR) for vacant group housing plots in Phase III from 1.2 to 3.0, allowing buildings up to eight storeys. Additionally, a proposal under consideration would set a uniform FAR of 2 for industrial buildings in Phase III, regardless of plot size, subject to architectural and zoning controls. Heritage areas remain protected with no changes to height or land use.
