Haryana Cabinet Approves Amendments to New Integrated Licensing Policy (NILP)-2022

Chandigarh, August 5: The Haryana Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Mr. Nayab Singh Saini, has approved amendments to sections 2.1 and 2.2 of the New Integrated Licensing Policy (NILP)-2022. These amendments allow the allocation of purchasable development rights (PDR) under the residential plotted component, similar to regular residential plotted licensed colonies.

The amendments aim to bring parity between NILP colonies and regular residential plotted colonies, permitting additional Floor Area Ratio (FAR) allocation through PDR. Previously, an additional 0.25 FAR was granted, which will now be supplemented by purchasable FAR as per the Haryana Building Code-2017.

According to the amendment, colonizers will have the flexibility to allocate residential components for uses such as group housing, plots, row housing, etc., within the FAR parameters. These changes ensure that developers in NILP colonies can now enjoy benefits similar to other residential plotted colonies, promoting balanced urban development.
