Chandigarh: The Punjab Cabinet, led by Chief Minister Amarinder Singh, today paved
the way for easing building rules to give further boost to the
construction industry, while facilitating better urban planning and
development in the state.
The cabinet stamped its approval on
the Punjab Urban Planning and Development Rules-2018, providing for
purchasable unlimited floor area ratio (FAR) for group housing,
commercial, public office, hotel and industrial buildings, while
increasing permissible FAR for residential development and educational
buildings.
