Maharashtra’s Urban Development Department is considering amending Section 33 (9) of Development Control Promotion and Regulations (DCPR), 2034, which will allow the Mumbai municipal commissioner to give approval for redevelopment of buildings that are less than 250 metres in height and are being built under the Cluster Development scheme. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has called for suggestions and objections to amend the rule.
