BMC to revise FSI norms soon
Mumbai: Municipal Commissioner Subodh Kumar has given another blow to the city developers that civic body is discussing to revise Development Control Right (DCR) 1991. As under DCR rules developers are getting concession on FSI for their projects. Regarding this issue several meetings were held with the concept of extra FSI under DCR (35). Under this section several parts like lobby, elevator, flower beds, ducts, and balconies are not counted in building’s FSI. Whereas lobby, staircase and such other parts are excluded from the building’s FSI.
“We are discussing to revise in DCR 1991 in which those places are free of charge will be charged” as civic bodies said. According to the Municipal Commissioner that those excluded parts from charges should be charged so that BMC can earn some revenue. And BMC can invest in capital intensive projects, where it will add value to the city and its citizens.
