CMDA can now give final approval for high-rise buildings in Chennai Metropolitan Area
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) has been granted the power to issue final approvals for high-rise buildings in the Chennai Metropolitan Area. This change aims to streamline the approval process and reduce delays by removing the requirement for separate government-level orders.
Why it matters
This represents a significant shift in urban planning governance, potentially accelerating real estate development in a major Indian city.
Planning permission for high-rise buildings in the Chennai Metropolitan Area (CMA) will henceforth be granted directly by the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA), eliminating the need for final government approval after scrutiny by the High-Rise Building Committee, according to a Government Order (G.O.) issued recently.
