Take for example colony south extension.
On a plot of maybe 500 square yards, there will be 4 flats ?
Okay 4 flats which will be sold for each over 3 or 4 crores minimum ? These HNIs will definitely not use public transport and on average have two or more cars.
This means that for that plot, there are 8 cares. Because of the small size of the plot, these cars will rarely be parked inside the plot.
But if the government allows people to build two or three basement levels for car parking, maybe the situation will change ?
The incentive is that people will be able to keep their expensive cars cleans and safe underground and not on the roads.

Dude do you really think people living in say south extension would let even that space( Basement) go waste in parking....they will use it for lease or renting it to CA's or Docs or Advocates....etc etc...

i know it very well as i my house too is in South Extension hehe...

Not possible.The flats coming in this category are few.Most are dda flats ,builder floors,society flats and kothis.Now its not possible in dda flats or say logical because that would mean creating so many parking lots and also access would a problem.In dda colonies either underground parking below the parks or automated parking is possible.
Second,in case of builder floors the basement goes to the ground floor owner and he would never use it for parking.
Third,bunglows already have adequate parking.

The only answer to Delhi s parking problem is either underground parking under the existing parks or automated parking lots in residential colonies.

[India2010]

Ahh i see.
In central london they have created parking lots under most parks or garden squares and it works quite well ! only about 5% of the park is actually lost due to ramps...

For one of the largest metropolises in the world, Delhi has a very low FSI ( both in residential and commerical terms. )

Compared to other major cities, Delhi's FSI is broadly speaking

a) very low
b) uniform over large areas ( e.g. delhi's residential colonies )

Not only this, but with such a low height restriction, the possibility to create interesting buildings, houses and skylines is greatly diminished.

Therefore, I propose that Delhi has some new guidelines as follows :

A major reason why Delhi says more FSI should not be allowed is because of infrastructure problems.
A major city such as Delhi with ambitions of becoming a world destination need to sort these out !

I propose that FSI be increased in Delhi, but for those who wish to use the additional FSI beyond say FSI of 2.5, they pay a development charge to the local authority.

The main roads should get the highest FSI and the inner roads should get the least, but still a decent amount. A reasonable range for residential colonies would be between 2.5 and 4 depending on the plot size and road width.

E.G plots on 60 feet roads will get 20% more FSI than base, plots on 80 feet roads will get 30% more FSI than base, plots on 100 feet roads will get 40% more than base etc.

Larger plot sizes would have to keep greater 'green' area but would be allowed to go higher.

2 side corner plots would be given further FSI perhaps to the tune of 15% and would also be allowed to construct higher.

3 side corner plots would be given perhaps another 10% and 4 side corner plots a further 10%.

--

In Delhi at the moment as plot size increases FAR decreases. This is completely wrong. FAR should if anything increase, but ground coverage should decrease with height increasing.

So let's say the base is put at 2.5

100-485 Square Yards : FAR 2.5, Maximum G+4

486-999 Square Yards : FAR 3.0, Maximum G+6

1000-1499 Square Yards : FAR 3.25, Maximum G+8

1500-1900 Square Yards : FAR 3.5, Maximum G+10

1901+ Square Yards : FAR 4.0, No height restriction

All FARs subject to bonuses depending on road width and frontage ( how many sides corner )





Just some thoughts...

[India2010]

Larger plots tend to be on paid roads so everything should work out...

[India2010]

With these sorts of rules we can have some great modern skyscrapers in Delhi !

[India2010]

At present, we only have good architecture in posh colonies such as Vasant Vihar and Shantiniketan.

[bhargavsura]

Nice, very elegant!

humn...you are partially right abt South Extension....partially because only south X -part 1 has got apartments and most parts of south x -II i still made up of those big size expensive kothis and villas...

about westend ...trust me boss they have some of the most beautiful kothis and villas and number of apartments are very less,..!!!

[India2010]
