UDCPR 2020 Maharashtra: FSI, margins & plot feasibility guide

Which copy the calculator reads

UDCPR 2020 was sanctioned on 2 December 2020 and came into force on 3 December 2020. The calculator uses the PMRDA-hosted copy updated to 30 January 2025, with earlier corrections. Check whether your planning authority is covered by UDCPR and whether a later notification changes the provision you rely on.

Residential, row housing and special buildings

Residential and mixed-use plots follow Reg 6.2.1 Table 6-D (p130). Row housing on roads of 12 m and below has its own rows (Table 6-D Sr.6–7, p131). Hospitals, schools, public buildings, cinemas, malls and similar uses follow Table 6-E (pp133–136), which sets margins by use and road width.

Corner plots and gaps between buildings

A corner plot takes setbacks as if it fronts each street (Reg 6.2.6, p137). The distance between two buildings is the side or rear margin of the taller building (Reg 6.2.4, p137). The calculator applies both exactly, with no extra minimum added.

Front margin on roads of 30 m and above

UDCPR sets 6.0 m in A, B and C class municipal corporations and 4.5 m elsewhere. The calculator uses 6.0 m for every corporation and CIDCO and asks you to confirm your authority’s class. Where Table 6-E gives no figure above 15 m, the calculator applies H/5 up to 12 m as the stricter reading and flags it.

Stilt and height

Reg 8.1.1(i) (p167) requires a stilt of at least 2.4 m below the beam (4.5 m for stack parking) and sets no maximum. Building height is measured from average ground level, or as the Authority decides, to the terrace of the last floor (definition on p26).
