Maharashtra government to launch rental housing scheme with better norms

Maharashtra is planning to relaunch its ambitious rental housing scheme in Mumbai Metropolitan Region, hoping to succeed with more liberal norms as previous efforts failed to draw much response from private developers.

The Floor Space Index (FSI) for projects under public-private partnership will be between 3 and 4 this time, up from 3 earlier, officials of Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority said. For additional FSI above this, the developer will have to pay about 60% of ready reckoner rate as premium. FSI refers to the ratio of a building's total floor area to the size of the piece of land on which it is built. "The state government has proposed the move in its draft housing policy and unlike last time there will be no restriction on the size of the houses to be built under the rental housing scheme," said an MMRDA official.

Mumbai Metropolitan Region includes Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Thane. Based on the Maharashtra State Housing Policy of 2007, the rental housing scheme was initially introduced by the state government in 2009 to allow participation of private sector developers and aimed at reducing the slum clusters. A few developers also received sanctions for their projects under this scheme in extended suburbs such as Virar, Thane and Karjat.
