Supreme Court Reviews Karnataka Premium FAR Scheme Amid Infrastructure Concerns
The Supreme Court has issued a notice to the Karnataka government challenging the Premium Floor Area Ratio (FAR) scheme, directing that it should not be used to regularise unauthorised constructions pending final judgment. The court highlighted infrastructure concerns, citing Gurugram's system collapse during rains due to inadequate planning, contrasting it with Greater Noida's long-term development approach. Petitioners argue the scheme bypasses master plans and strains Bengaluru's infrastructure. Separately, the court dismissed a plea against additional FAR for a Noida residential project, upholding local authority decisions.
