Real estate developers have requested the planning authority to clarify the eligibility criteria for concessional Premium Floor Space Index (FSI) charges under the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) policy. According to industry stakeholders, the lack of a uniform interpretation is delaying planning approvals and affecting several residential, commercial, and mixed-use projects proposed near metro rail corridors. The issue concerns projects where only a portion of the project site falls within the prescribed 500-metre influence zone of an existing, under-construction, or proposed metro corridor. While the current policy offers a 50% concession on Premium FSI charges for eligible developments, uncertainty remains over whether projects with partial land coverage qualify for the benefit. Developers state that different interpretations by authorities have resulted in inconsistent decisions. In some cases, the concession is granted only for the land falling within the 500-metre zone, while in others, the benefit is denied because the entire project site is not located within the eligible area. The industry has said that these varying interpretations have led to repeated queries, longer approval timelines, and increased uncertainty for developers planning new projects along metro corridors. The Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) policy, introduced in August 2022, aims to encourage higher-density development near metro rail networks, improve public transport usage, and promote sustainable urban growth by offering a 50% concession on Premium FSI charges for eligible projects. Developers have urged the planning authority to issue a clear and uniform clarification and to ensure that it applies to pending, future, and revised planning applications where final approval orders have not yet been issued. Industry experts believe that such a clarification would streamline approvals, reduce project delays, and support planned development around metro corridors.
