KALYAN-DOMBIVALI CIVIC BODY GRANTED FSI OF 2 BY MMRDA

MMRDA'S EXECUTIVE committee granted an FSI of 2 for the Kalyan and Dombivali Municipal Corporation to encourage development. With the increased FSI, the authority will collect revenue for its development projects for public in the Mumbai Metropolitan region. This decision follows the government body's increase FSI in other areas such as the BKC, to generate more money for its infrastructure projects such as the metro, mono rail and skywalks. 
    The decision was taken at a recent meeting presided over by the chief minister. Committee member Ashish Shelar objected to the FSI of 2, saying that it should be granted only in areas where roads are 25 metre wide or more.
