UP clears Model Building Regulations 2026
The Uttar Pradesh cabinet has approved the Model Building Regulations 2026 for industrial development authorities, aiming to accelerate urban expansion in Noida, Greater Noida, and the Yamuna Expressway. Key changes include removing floor area ratio (FAR) restrictions for plots along roads wider than 45 metres to enable taller buildings, and introducing a 60-day deemed approval process for certain building plans. While the move is expected to increase housing supply and improve project viability, experts note that height remains subject to safety and aviation clearances.
