Telangana government grants permission for construction of 30-metre commercial high-rise building in Jubilee Hills
The Telangana government has approved the construction of a 30-metre commercial high-rise in Jubilee Hills, granting specific planning relaxations. The project, located on a designated commercial road, includes additional floors via Transferable Development Rights and environmental deck provisions.
Why it matters
This decision highlights the tension between urban development demands and safety regulations in earthquake-prone areas of Hyderabad.
The Telangana government has granted special permission for the construction of a commercial high-rise building on three plots along Road No. 10 in Jubilee Hills, allowing height relaxation and other planning concessions subject to statutory approvals.
Height restrictions are in place otherwise on high-rise structures in Banjara Hills and Jubilee Hills owing to concerns about earthquake proneness.
According to the order issued by the Metropolitan Area & Urban Development Department, the permission pertains to Plot Nos. 270-K, 270-L and 270-M, following a representation submitted by C.G. Murali Mohan and others, and a factual report furnished by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC).
