Karnataka Proposes Raising High-Rise Building Height Limit to 24 Metres
The Karnataka government has proposed increasing the height limit for buildings classified as high-rises from 21 metres to 24 metres, allowing construction up to seven floors plus a stilt without requiring a fire department no-objection certificate (NOC). This change aims to reduce regulatory compliance and align with national recommendations, while maintaining stricter rules for high-risk buildings like schools and hospitals. The proposal is open for public feedback and reflects efforts to promote vertical growth and ease building approvals in the state.
