Fire NOC Not Must For Buildings Up To 24M In Maharashtra

From existing 15 meter, the state government has increased the height to 24 meter for all buildings requiring fire no-objection-certificate (NOC) and mandatory installation of fire safety systems. For non-residential structures, the norm has been revised from existing 150 sq mt built up area to 500 sq mt. The changes have been made in unified Development Control and Promotion Regulations (DCPR) which has been implemented in all municipal corporations, excluding Mumbai, from December 3. Earlier, buildings requiring fire NOC were called as high-rise buildings. In unified DCR, the government has continued with title of high-rise buildings and also called them special buildings. Title of special buildings will be applicable for fire NOC and fire safety systems. As per unified DCR, special buildings will mean any multi-storied structure which is more than 24 metre in height measured from ground level. Also, buildings for educational, assembly, mercantile, institutional, industrial, storage, hazardous occupancies, mixed occupancies with built-up area of 500 sq.mt or above on any floor irrespective of height are also special buildings.
