The Tamil Nadu government will give a favourable response to the demand for higher Floor Space Index (FSI) for construction of buildings along narrow roads, Chief Minister M.K.Stalin said on Saturday.
He said the increase in FSI was expected to facilitate affordable housing for the poor and the marginalised.
“The State government has been formulating plans and making policy decisions for promoting housing and urban development, with the goal of housing for all by 2030,” he said.
He was speaking at the launch of Tamil Nadu Real Estate Vision 2030, a comprehensive report prepared by CREDAI Chennai, at FAIRPRO 2023.
The online system, similar to the one at the Directorate of Town and Country Planning, would be adopted at the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority, he said.
Pointing to the growth of industries and planning for development of satellite cities, the Chief Minister said the government was determined to facilitate the growth and development of areas around the Outer Ring Road.
