Bengaluru is set to witness a vertical transformation as the Karnataka government has increased the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) cap by up to 60% of the current permissible limits. This move is expected to encourage high-rise developments in the city, addressing urban space constraints and boosting real estate growth.
The decision aims to accommodate Bengaluru’s rapid urbanization, allowing developers to construct taller buildings in designated zones. Experts believe this will enhance infrastructure utilization but also stress the need for improved civic planning to support increased density.
With this policy shift, Bengaluru could soon see a skyline dominated by skyscrapers, akin to global metropolitan cities.
