Chandigarh Administration to Conduct Infrastructure Audit Before Finalizing FAR Norms
The Chandigarh UT administration plans to appoint a consultant to conduct a comprehensive infrastructure audit of key growth zones, including the city's periphery, industrial areas, and Transit Oriented Development corridors. This audit will assess the capacity of civic systems such as roads, water supply, sewerage, and electricity to support higher Floor Area Ratio (FAR) norms proposed in amendments to the Master Plan 2031. The aim is to ensure infrastructure can sustain increased density before permitting vertical growth, especially in Phase-III and peripheral sectors, while preserving heritage areas in Phase-I.
