Mumbai civic body dilutes cap on high-rises on narrow roads
Some of the curbs imposed on the buildable area for plots in Mumbai on the basis of road width have been relaxed.
Even as Mumbai’s Development Control and Promotion Regulations, 2034 (DCPR-2034) has advocated an minimum access of 9 m to a plot for permitting construction of high-rise buildings, a new policy has now paved way for such developments for narrower plot widths.
According to the new policy, constructions of more than 32 m in height (buildings with 10 or more storeys) are now permitted even for plots with less than 9-m frontage or access, provided that they abut a public road or a street that is at least 9 m wide.
