Punjab approves stilt plus four floor construction norms for GMADA township zones Punjab ने GMADA टाउनशिप जोन्स के लिए स्टिल्ट प्लस फोर फ्लोर (Stilt + 4 Floor) निर्माण मानदंडों को मंजूरी दी **Punjab approves stilt plus four floor construction norms for GMADA township zones**

Revised Building Norms

The Punjab government has approved revised construction regulations permitting stilt plus four floor (G+4) construction in GMADA-governed township zones. The new norms apply immediately to all GMADA township projects including Aerotropolis, Ecocity, IT City, and Aerocity.

What Changes

Under the previous norms, residential plot owners in GMADA townships were restricted to stilt plus two or three floor construction depending on plot size. The revised norms increase the permissible FAR (Floor Area Ratio), allowing:

- Stilt floor for parking
- Ground floor residential/commercial
- Three additional habitable floors above ground

This is a meaningful increase in construction potential for plot owners.

Impact on Aerotropolis Plot Values

The FAR enhancement has a direct positive impact on the capital value of Aerotropolis LOIs. When investors ultimately receive physical possession of their plots, they can now build significantly more usable area on the same plot size.

For a 200 sq yard residential plot in Pocket B, the additional permitted floor area could represent ₹50–80 lakh in additional constructible value at current construction costs and market rates.

25% Built Compliance

Note that GMADA's 25% built requirement for Occupation Certificate eligibility remains in place. Plot owners must construct at least 25% of total permissible FAR before applying for OC. The revised norms do not change this threshold.
