Town Planning Guidance on Development Plans, FSI and Zoning Across Maharashtra
Detailed breakdown of Unified DCR (UDCPR) rules, FSI limits, setbacks, and road width multipliers for residential plots in Pune and Baramati.
In brief
- Base FSI for residential plots ranges from 1.10 to 1.40 depending on road width and municipal tier.
- Ancillary FSI (up to 60% of basic FSI) can be availed by paying premium charges to the municipal body.
- Minimum front setback of 3.0 meters is mandatory on roads up to 12 meters wide.
- Ground coverage cannot exceed sanctioned by-laws to allow proper light and ventilation.
Understanding FSI (Floor Space Index) and zoning by-laws is the very first step before designing a floor plan or calculating total built-up area for your plot in Maharashtra.
How UDCPR Sets Residential FSI in Pune, PCMC and Baramati
Under UDCPR Regulation 6.1, permissible built-up area is calculated as: `Total Permissible Built-up = Plot Area × (Base FSI + Premium FSI + TDR)`.
On a typical 9-meter wide road in Baramati or PMRDA jurisdiction, the base FSI is 1.10, with optional premium FSI up to 0.30.
| Road Width (Meters) | Base FSI | Premium FSI | Total Max FSI |
|---|---|---|---|
| Below 9.0 meters | 1.10 | Nil | 1.10 |
| 9.0 m to 12.0 meters | 1.10 | 0.30 | 1.40 |
| 12.0 m to 15.0 meters | 1.10 | 0.40 | 1.65 |
| 15.0 m and above | 1.10 | 0.50 | 1.80 |
Setback and Ground Margin Requirements
To ensure structural safety and natural airflow, UDCPR prescribes: - Front Margin: 3.0 m (for roads < 12m wide), 4.5 m (for roads 12m–18m). - Side & Rear Margins: Minimum 1.5 m to 2.25 m depending on building height (G+1 vs G+2).
Practical tips
- Always calculate exact carpet area versus super built-up before finalizing floor layouts.
- Check our free 3D Home Designer tool to visualize room placements respecting mandatory setbacks.

Real questions, real answers.
Can I build G+2 on a 1,500 sqft plot in Baramati?
+
Yes, provided the road width is at least 9 meters and side margins of 1.5m to 2.0m are maintained in the sanctioned architectural plan.
