Supreme Court Reviews Karnataka FAR Scheme, Dismisses Noida FAR Challenge
The Supreme Court has issued a notice challenging Karnataka's Premium Floor Area Ratio (FAR) scheme, directing that it not be used to regularise unauthorised constructions pending case resolution. The scheme, allowing developers to buy additional floor space, faces criticism over infrastructure strain, especially in Bengaluru. Meanwhile, the court contrasted Gurugram's infrastructure issues with Greater Noida's planned development. Separately, the court dismissed a petition against additional FAR granted to a Noida project, upholding prior High Court rulings and allowing the project to proceed.
