Premium up on incentive FSI for public parking lots


Builders of real estate projects in Mumbai, who are allowed to construct additional area for sale in exchange for creating public parking lots, will now have to shell out more, in line with the BJP-led government’s budgetary goal of monetising floor space index (FSI) to boost revenues.



The state urban development (UD) department issued orders on Monday stating that premium charged for use of the incentive FSI in such projects will go up. FSI determines the extent of construction allowed in the project. However, data obtained from the BMC shows that the seven-year-old policy, which grants additional construction rights to developers who agree to create public parking within their plots, has not translated into creation of ample parking spaces on the ground and has instead led to congestion in already dense localities.



Developers who construct public parking lots, in addition to captive parking for their own buyers, are allowed to construct an area equivalent to 50 per cent of the built-up area of the public parking lot as residential or commercial units in their project. For this, they have to pay a premium that is calculated at 40 per cent of the ready reckoner value of the incentive FSI minus the cost incurred by him on constructing the parking lot. According to the orders issued by UD department on Monday, the premium has now been increased to 60 per cent. This paper had reported last month that the proposed move was awaiting CM Devendra Fadnavis’s approval.
