Major change in Chhattisgarh Land Development Rules, 1984 to promote industry and trade
Industries will be able to do double the construction on the same plot of land
Raipur 24 April 2025: Due to the amendment made by the Chhattisgarh Government in the Chhattisgarh Land Development Rules, 1984, industries will now be able to do double the construction on the same plot of land. This amendment, done on the special initiative of Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai, will promote industries and business development in the state. Amendments to the Chhattisgarh Land Development Rules have been notified on 24 December 2024. The Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for flattened industries has been increased from 1.5 to 3.0, so that industries will now be able to do double the construction on the same plot. This will provide more usable space at a lower cost, especially to MSMEs and startups. Ground coverage for industrial plots has been increased from 60 percent to 70 percent. Along with this, the setback has been reduced, which will ensure maximum use of land.
A minimum FAR of 5.0 has been fixed for commercial buildings in municipal areas and development authority areas. FAR 5.0 will be applicable on plots whose area is 5 acres or more and which have access by a 100 meter wide road. If these plots fall in Central Business District (CBD) or Transit Oriented Development (TOD) zone, then they will be allowed additional 2.0 FAR, that is, the total FAR can be up to 7.0. Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai says that these reforms will promote modern industrial and business development in the state. This will give a new direction to increase investment, employment generation and economic progress of the state. The Town and Rural Investment Department has prepared these amendments under the industry friendly policy, so that industrial and business investment can be promoted in Chhattisgarh.
