Row over ‘height’ keeps electricity at bay
CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu Combined Development and Building Rules, 2019 has increased the height of non high rise buildings in the State up to 18.3 metres. This has put builders and developers in a fix, as state electricity department, is yet to update the norms on providing service connections to anything above 15 metres.
Builders Association of India state secretary, S Rama Prabhu, says that the state electricity board, which is yet to update its rules on building heights, is terming anything above 15 metres as high rise buildings. This is resulting in delay in getting the service connection.
