70-Plus-Story Buildings Now Allowed In Five Indian Cities
Welcome to the Elevator World News Podcast. Today’s podcast news podcast is sponsored by elevatorbooks.com: www.elevatorbooks.com
70-PLUS-STORY BUILDINGS NOW ALLOWED IN FIVE INDIAN CITIES
The maximum allowed height of buildings in five cities in the Indian state of Gujarat — Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Surat, Rajkot and Gandhinagar — has jumped from 23 to 70-plus stories since the state government amended building regulations, Live Mint reports, citing Press Trust of India. Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani said the new rules will ensure "optimum utilization of land and, eventually, help in lowering the prices of houses." Applicable to towers exceeding 100 m in height, the amended regulations require structures 100-150 m tall to have a 2,500-m2 plot, and those taller than 150 m, a 3,500-m2 plot. A special committee will be formed to approve projects.
