Union minister cited draft of Delhi Master Plan 2041 to promise that more covered-area construction will now be allowed if people rebuild old houses
Ahead of the civic body polls in Delhi, the BJP today promised that in a new plan for the city, people will be allowed to construct much more on a plot under the Master Plan 2041. A near doubling of the Floor Area Ratio — as to how much covered space can be built on a plot — will help cater to an ever-rising population of the national capital, Union Housing Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said at a press conference.
The BJP leader said it help people "redevelop or reconstruct their old dilapidated structures with provision of enhanced FAR to make their living condition better and safe".
The FAR has, over the past six decades, gone up from 133 in the 1962 plan, and was then upped to 167 in the year 1981 under the Master Plan 2001. Last year it went up to 200. In Master Plan 2041 that's to be approved now, a "regeneration FAR" — applicable to demolishing and rebuilding — has been planned, to range from 260 to 340. "Larger the plot size, higher the FAR," said the minister.
Mr Puri spoke at length about schemes carried out by the Delhi Development Authority, which is under the union ministry he handles.
