Mumbai sea-facing project developers face SRA rule change
In short
Mumbai developers are worried after the Slum Rehabilitation Authority changed how building space is calculated. The new rule shifts the floor space index from gross to net plot area and affects more than 45 redevelopment projects, including ones in Bandra and Juhu.
This matters because developers may lose construction rights and the city may collect less premium money. The report does not say when the change starts or how many projects will be reworked.
