In a strategic push to supercharge Hyderabad’s property market, Telangana has amended its 2012 Building Rules, granting unprecedented leeway in TDR applications up to the ORR periphery. The latest government directive promises to reshape the city’s development landscape.
Following stakeholder feedback, the administration has overhauled TDR guidelines, construction benchmarks, and procedural efficiencies. Sunday’s announcement underscores the state’s resolve to foster a builder-friendly environment without compromising infrastructure integrity.
Highlights of the revisions: Buildings surpassing 21 meters fall under high-rise category. Mid-sized plots (750-2,000 sqm) can now erect 18-21 meter edifices exclusively via TDR, subject to parking and regulatory adherence.
Setback relaxations are a standout feature—non-high-rise gets flexible margins through TDR, while high-rises enjoy 10% concessions with a mandatory seven-meter buffer. For expansive plots over 2,000 sqm, bonus floors hinge on road dimensions: 40ft roads allow three, 60ft four, and 80ft five additional levels.
This policy pivot is poised to unlock investment potential, spurring residential and commercial projects. As Hyderabad emerges as a realty hotspot, these measures could accelerate GDP contributions from construction, benefiting developers, homebuyers, and the economy at large.
The changes reflect meticulous planning, ensuring sustainable growth amid rising urban demands.
