Haryana Proposes Higher FAR for Residential Plots up to 1,000 sq m

The Haryana Government has proposed amendments to the Haryana Building Code, 2017, to allow higher permissible Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for residential plots measuring up to 1,000 sq m. The proposed changes retain the maximum building height at 16.5 metres and introduce a single-level basement provision across all five plot-size categories.

For residential plots measuring up to 100 sq m, the maximum permissible FAR has been proposed at 264 per cent, against a base FAR of 165 per cent. Ground coverage for these plots will remain at 75 per cent. Plots measuring above 100 sq m and up to 250 sq m will also have a maximum permissible FAR of 264 per cent, with a base FAR of 145 per cent and ground coverage of 75 per cent.

For plots above 250 sq m and up to 350 sq m, the maximum permissible FAR will be 240 per cent, compared with a base FAR of 130 per cent. Ground coverage in this category will be 66 per cent. The proposals set a base FAR of 120 per cent and a maximum permissible FAR of 240 per cent for plots above 350 sq m and up to 500 sq m.

For the largest category, covering plots above 500 sq m and up to 1,000 sq m, the base FAR will be 100 per cent while the maximum permissible FAR will remain 240 per cent. The proposed framework therefore differentiates development potential according to plot size while retaining specified coverage limits.

The height limit of 16.5 metres will include the permitted ground-plus-three-floor and stilt-plus-four-floor configurations. Director of the Town and Country Planning Department J Ganesan has invited stakeholders to submit objections and suggestions by December 1 through email. The proposed amendments will be considered after the feedback process.
