• The FSI shall be 3 on the gross plot area (exclusive of the Fungible Compensatory Area).
• FSI permitted may exceed up to 4.00 FSI in case of plots, having area of 4000 sq. m or above having road
width of 18.00 m or more.
• A major boost to redevelop MHADA colonies in the city, has finally surfaced. The consent of residents
which was earlier 70 per cent, has been brought down to 51 per cent. This is a big change as less
percentage of tenants' consent means faster redevelopment and restoration.
• The second big change is that for colonies that are above 4,000 square metre -
Area Prior to DCPR 2034 As per DCPR 2034
> 4000 sqm • FSI of 3 by paying a premium
• Plus 1 FSI which was meant for
housing stock that was
completely handed over to
MHADA
• FSI of 3 by paying a premium
• Plus 1 FSI meant for housing stock the developer
will hand over two third housing stock to
MHADA and remaining one third to the
existing housing societies which means larger
homes for tenants and in lieu of which the
authority expects tenants will agree faster for
redevelopment.

• FSI calculation –
Gross Plot Area X FSI 4.00 or
Rehab component + Incentive for Free sale whichever is higher.
So, in some of the cases, FSI may be permitted to exceed more than 4.00 + Fungible (35%)
