The Telangana government has granted special permission to construct a 30‑metre commercial high‑rise on three plots along Road No. 10 in Jubilee Hills. The approval includes height relaxation, two extra floors via TDR, and conditions for an environmental deck floor.

Key Takeaways

  • Special clearance for a 30‑metre commercial tower in Jubilee Hills
  • Two additional floors allowed through Transferable Development Rights
  • Environmental deck floor subject to ECBC certification

The Telangana government, through the Metropolitan Area & Urban Development Department, issued an order permitting a commercial high‑rise on plots 270‑K, 270‑L and 270‑M along Road No. 10. The permission lifts the usual height restriction, allowing construction up to 30 metres.

The order notes that the site borders a declared commercial road and will be impacted by a proposed 36‑metre road‑widening master plan. Applicants have agreed to surrender any affected land free of cost and to comply with all statutory approvals.

In addition to the 30‑metre limit, developers may add two extra floors using Transferable Development Rights (TDR). An environmental deck floor is permitted provided the building meets the Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) and obtains the required certification. Covered balcony projections up to two metres and certain setback relaxations are also allowed under the Building Rules.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that this decision could accelerate commercial growth in premium zones like Jubilee Hills, attracting investment and boosting local employment. Yet, given the area's seismic sensitivity, rigorous safety oversight remains crucial.

"Policy flexibility for high‑rise projects can spur economic activity, but strict adherence to safety standards is non‑negotiable," says urban planning expert Dr. Arpan Kumar.
Did You Know?: Jubilee Hills previously hosted buildings up to 28 metres; clearance beyond 30 metres has been rare.
