FSI and built-up area rules in Pune
PMC / PMRDA / PCMC · UDCPR 2020
This calculator applies Pune's own building rules to your plot. UDCPR 2020 — the Unified Development Control and Promotion Regulations that PMC, PMRDA and PCMC all sanction under — decides how much floor area a plot can carry, how far the building must stand from each boundary and how tall it can go. Enter the plot width, depth and the road it faces, and you get the built-up area, FSI, floor count, footprint and setbacks together.
Everything below is computed by the same regulation tables the tool runs on, so the worked example and the FAQ answers move whenever the rules the calculator uses do.
What fixes your FSI
Basic FSI comes from the road width and the area type (Table 6G for non-congested plots, Table 6A for congested ones). Premium FSI — bought from the authority — and TDR sit on top of that entitlement, and since Table 6G Note iv fixes no priority between them, either, both or neither can apply. Inside PMC, a plot near a metro corridor can also draw TOD FSI under Table 24.2.3.
The result panel separates the FSI you have achieved from the ceiling the same plot could reach, so it is clear whether more floor area is available and what would buy it.
What moves the envelope
Setbacks (Table 6D non-congested, Tables 6B–6C congested) are what usually decide the footprint on a small plot. A stilt floor changes how height is counted, a corner plot answers to its second road, and a notified building line pushes the front edge back — so each is an input, and switching one re-derives the whole result rather than adjusting a number.
Worked example: 12 × 18 m plot on a 9 m road
What this calculator returns for a 12 × 18 m residential plot on a 9 m road, inside PMC and in a non-congested area, with no Premium FSI, TDR or TOD loading. The figures are computed by the same Pune rules the tool runs on, so they are what you would see on screen for the same inputs.
| Plot | 12 × 18 m (2,325 sft) |
|---|---|
| Road width | 9 m |
| Built-up area | 2,558 sft |
| FSI | 1.10 |
| Floors | 2.0 within 6.0 m |
| Ground floor footprint | 1,308 sft |
| Ground coverage | 56% |
| Setbacks | front 3.0 m, sides and rear 1.5 m |
Pune FSI questions
What is the FSI in Pune?
- There is no single FSI for the whole city. Under UDCPR 2020 your basic FSI is set by the width of the road your plot faces and whether the plot is in a congested or a non-congested area — Table 6G for non-congested, Table 6A for congested. Premium FSI and TDR can then be loaded on top, and inside PMC a plot near a metro corridor can also use TOD FSI, up to the ceiling the regulation allows for that plot. For the worked example above — a 12 × 18 m residential plot on a 9 m road, inside PMC and in a non-congested area, with no Premium FSI, TDR or TOD loading — the achieved FSI is 1.10.
How much can I build on my plot in Pune?
- Built-up area is FSI × plot area, but the building also has to fit inside the setbacks, so on smaller plots the envelope binds before the FSI does. The calculator reports both: the floor area your FSI entitlement buys, and the footprint and floor count that actually fit. On the example plot (2,325 sft) that comes to 2,558 sft of built-up area over 2.0 floors within 6.0 m, on a ground floor of 1,308 sft.
What is the difference between FSI and built-up area?
- FSI (Floor Space Index — the same ratio Bengaluru calls FAR) is permissible floor area divided by plot area. Built-up area is what that ratio comes to in square feet on your plot: FSI 1.10 on a 2,000 sft plot is 2,200 sft of built-up area.
Which setbacks apply to a Pune plot?
- Setbacks come from Table 6D for non-congested plots and Tables 6B–6C for congested ones, keyed to the plot frontage and the road width. A stilt floor, a corner plot's second road and a notified building line each change the buildable envelope, which is why all three are inputs here rather than assumptions. On the example plot they are 3.0 m at the front and 1.5 m at the sides and rear.
Does the calculator cover PMC, PMRDA and PCMC?
- Yes, and the authority is a required input rather than a detail: all three sanction under UDCPR 2020, but their FSI tables differ and TOD FSI is available inside PMC only. Pick the authority that will sanction your plan and the figures follow that body's rules.
Is this Pune FSI calculator free?
- Yes. The calculation runs in your browser and needs no login — results appear as you type the plot dimensions.
