Building near airport? Centre plans faster height clearances, local-level NOCs

World 1 source 1 country 🔦 Under-reported 2m ago

The Indian central government is implementing reforms to accelerate the height clearance process for buildings located near airports. By decentralizing the approval system, local urban bodies will be empowered to issue No Objection Certificates (NOCs), replacing the previous centralized procedures. These changes are designed to streamline planning for developers and reduce wait times for height permissions.

The initiative specifically targets major metropolitan areas, including Delhi and Mumbai, where construction projects have historically faced delays due to aviation safety regulations. By shifting the administrative burden to local authorities, the government aims to expedite the development cycle and improve the efficiency of urban planning in proximity to critical aviation infrastructure.
