Andhra Pradesh Modernizes Building Regulations

The Andhra Pradesh Cabinet, led by Minister P Narayana, has introduced significant relaxations in building rules, benefiting smaller constructions. Key changes include simplified approval processes, mandatory installations, and incentives for developers. These adjustments aim to streamline construction while ensuring compliance and safety in residential and commercial projects.

The Andhra Pradesh government has overhauled its building regulations to aid smaller projects. State Minister P Narayana announced that both large and small structures will now enjoy simplified approval processes.

Builders can mortgage 10 percent of the plot for compliance, and the mandatory installation of CCTV cameras will enhance security across residential and commercial edifices.

Additionally, those affected by road widening will benefit from Transferable Development Rights (TDR) bonds, facilitating extra construction without additional permits.
