Redeveloping old buildings in Delhi could get easier: What the new Master Plan offers

 Delhi’s newly introduced Master Plan seeks to revitalize outdated buildings by incentivizing owners through an increased Floor Area Ratio. This plan addresses safety issues following recent building collapses while promoting extensive housing development near metro lines. Furthermore, it adopts a ‘sponge cities’ strategy to help manage rainwater effectively, aiming to reduce instances of waterlogging in urban areas. Delhi’s newly introduced Master Plan seeks to revitalize outdated buildings by incentivizing owners through an increased Floor Area Ratio.
