Building rules in Maharashtra

One set of regulations for almost the whole state — but NOT Greater Mumbai, which keeps its own DCPR, and not MIDC, NAINA, JNPT, hill-station councils, Lonavala or eco-sensitive regions. Basic FSI is a flat 1.10 everywhere; the width of your road decides how much more you may buy or load as TDR, not what you start with.

Rules change and we would rather hear it from you than have somebody build to a stale number. No account needed.

Apply all of it to your plot

Trace your tatima and every rule above is checked against the real boundary at once.
