Development Control and Promotion Regulations 2034: HC seeks state, BMC’s response to PIL alleging tweaking of Floor Space Index concept

The HC said that “prima facie there appears to be some substance” in the contention raised in the PIL and “it would necessarily be tasked to decide whether the stream can rise above its source”.

The Bombay High Court on Monday sought a reply from the Maharashtra government and the BMC in connection to a PIL that claimed that the concept of Floor Space Index (FSI) mentioned in the Development Control and Promotion Regulations (DCPR), 2034 – enabling construction of more skyscrapers in Mumbai – has been tweaked and is contrary to the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning  Act, 1966.
