How Many Floors are Allowed in Gurgaon?

As mentioned in the previous answers, the number of floors allowed in Gurgaon, by the Haryana government is 3 floors on each property. But now, after 16 months of ban, the Govt. has finally given permission for a stilt + 4 floors for building in Gurgaon. This decision came in July 2024. This decision is only for plots in licensed colonies and sectors where the layout plan is approved with four dwelling units per plot.

What are the Number of Floors Allowed in Gurgaon?

In the case of plots that already have plans approved with three units per plot, permission for the fourth floor can be given if they are near roads that are 10m or wider. The plot owner for these cases needs to fulfil anyone out of two conditions. Those conditions are,

• The owners need to make a mutual consent agreement with the owners of the nearby plots. Now, the consent agreement can only be made with owners who don’t have four-floor permissions. If the nearby plot owners don’t give consent, then they will be ineligible for future approvals.

• Construction of a basement storey and transfer of load to a common wall is not allowed for plots with permission for stilt-plus-four floors construction. The construction of basement storey will not be permitted for plots that have a width and area less than 10m and 250 sqm respectively. 

And that’s all I am aware of. I hope this helps. 

I already came across this query multiple times, how many floors allowed in Gurgaon? The number of allowed floors in Gurgaon depends on several factors, such as the zoning regulations, plot size, building usage (residential, commercial, or industrial), and Floor Area Ratio (FAR). Let’s check out more details on it:

• Residential properties have a FAR ranging from 1.5 to 3.5, depending on the plot size and other parameters. A higher FAR allows for more floors but within specific limits.

• For plotted developments, the number of floors is ‌capped at four floors. It is common for independent houses, villas, and builder floors.

• High-rise flats and group housing societies may have additional floors, up to 15–40 stories, occasionally. The FAR, plot size, and DTCP and HUDA certifications all play a role.

• Road width adjacent to the plot plays a significant role.

  • For roads less than 9 meters wide, a lower number of floors is permitted.

  • For wider roads (over 12 meters or more), taller buildings or high-rise apartments may be allowed.

• Any construction beyond the basic norms, such as for high-rise buildings, requires approval from the DTCP and HUDA.

• For buildings over a certain height and floor count (typically over 15 meters), environmental clearance is also required as per local laws.

Hi Garima, I can answer how many floors are allowed in Gurgaon at the moment. The state regarding the allowed floors that can be built on residential plots has been a controversial one. 

The Haryana government had earlier permitted registering a fourth floor as an independent floor in 2019. But last year, a ban was imposed on the construction and registration of fourth floors. 

How many Floors Allowed in Gurgaon?

• Those opposing the fourth floor policy said that the addition of floors without building infrastructure adds a strain on the current utilities and amenities. 

• After the court’s directions, the state government formed a committee to investigate the matter in depth. A report was submitted in June last year. 

• However, no decision has been made yet, which has led to troubles for builders and investors, plot owners and contractors.

So, at the moment, three floors are allowed until there is an update on this matter.

Hi Mayank,

As you mentioned that 4 builder floors in Gurgaon are allowed. However, I’d like to highlight that although in 2019, the Haryana government permitted the registration of a fourth floor as an independent floor. However, after a challenge to this policy in the Punjab and Haryana high court and a discussion in the state assembly, the government banned the construction and registration of fourth floors in February 2023.

According to the critics of the fourth builder floor in Gurugram, adding floors without upgrading the building's infrastructure strains the utilities and facilities already in place.

According to Chaitali Mandhotra, co-convenor of the United Gurugram Residents Welfare Association (RWA), an association of RWAs, before approving the construction of a fourth level, the government needs to improve the neighborhood's infrastructure.

While researching on how many floors allowed in Gurgaon, I discovered that; the highest floor building in gurgaon is Raheja Revanta with 61 floors. However there are certain considerations before planning the floors of an apartment;

• Whether or not fourth storey and stilt building will be permitted in an existing sector or colony will depend largely on the availability of developed infrastructure or the capacity for augmentation of infrastructure.

• Residential plots in current areas with only 12-meter roads will be permitted to build up to four floors and stilt

I hope this helps!

As a builder, the most common I have encountered in Gurgaon is “how many floors are allowed in Gurgaon?”. In Gurgaon, 4 floors are allowed in a building. Previously, the Haryana government had only permitted floor builders to build 3 floors on each property. In addition, if a building had four floors, the floor couldn't be put up for sale because the builders couldn't register the fourth floor as an independent dwelling floor. However, after some modifications to the laws and regulations made by the DTCP, developers can now begin selling their fourth builder floor in Gurgaon. 

What rules need to be followed to sell the fourth floor in Gurgaon?

Now you know that the number of floors allowed in Gurgaon is 4. But a builder must abide by the DTCP's new regulations in order to successfully sell their fourth floor. Among these guidelines are

• The DTCP has published a rule stating that no buildings that are built into builder floors would have the plots fragmented in order to maintain equity for all owners. The land will not be unfairly divided among the owners; instead, each will own it equally.

• It is a requirement for all Gurgaon builder floors that are available for sale that the building offers stilt parking for all of its residents and has enough parking space for the number of levels in the building.

• DTCP has given adequate consideration to the distribution of land costs, ensuring that the cost is distributed equally among all owners according to the number of storeys in each building. For two floors, 50%, three floors, 33%, and four floors, 25%.

What structural improvements are required in the building as a result of the sale of the fourth builder floor being approved?

• Adding a stilt parking space: In accordance with the regulations established by the determining authority, all four-story builder floors must have a stilt parking space to provide residents with enough space to park their cars in accordance with the size of the property.

• Building lift service is a requirement: All structures with four stories must have a lift service available to the building's occupants. This is done to make sure that all building occupants, even the elderly, may quickly and conveniently reach the various floors as needed.

• Building height restriction: All structures with three stories or more may not exceed 54 feet in height. A No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the local fire department and the structural stability and strength department is required to account for the height increase as a legal construction if a builder wishes to construct a housing unit that is taller than 54 feet.

I hope now you understand how many floors are allowed in Gurgaon.
