Himachal Govt notifies premium FAR for parking in buildings abutting roads

Shimla, June 17 (UNI) The Himachal Pradesh Government has notified the draft of the Himachal Pradesh Town and Country Planning (Fourteenth Amendment) Rules, 2025, providing major relaxations and enabling provisions for parking infrastructure in buildings situated along the roads, an official said today.
The move comes amid increasing concerns over urban congestion, especially in the state capital, Shimla.
On weekends, Shimla witnessed traffic chaos with over 1.10 lakh vehicles entering the city, despite the city having parking capacity for just about 5,000 vehicles. The recent policy shift aims to ease such pressure by allowing additional Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for parking provisions in residential and commercial buildings, including old constructions located along roads and highways.
