GHAZIABAD : GDA will raise the floor area ratio (FAR) cap to 80% for industrial plots up to 500 square metres under a central govt scheme, allowing small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to construct additional floors for maximising space utilisation.
GDA secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh said the Authority adopted reforms under Centre's ‘Special Assistance to State for Capital Investment' scheme to the challenges of land scarcity amid rapid industrialisation and urbanisation. ..
The new guidelines significantly modify land use parameters for industrial establishments, offering more flexibility to SME operations.
Under the scheme, GDA will offer a higher floor area ratio—a ratio of the total floor area of a building to the size of the land it's built on—of 3 to industrial plots up to 500 sqm, which is an 80% ground coverage. This is a substantial increase from the previous regulations that allowed only 60% ground coverage and 1.5 FAR for 1,000 sqm plots.
The reforms introduce introduce clear distinctions between standalone and multi-storey industrial units For plots ranging from 500 to 1000 sqm, ground coverage has been increased to 75% with a FAR of 2 for standalone factories and 3 for flatted factories. Plots between 1,000 and 10,000 sqm will have 70% ground coverage, maintaining similar FAR provisions.
