Andhra Pradesh has amended its building regulations to streamline construction processes, attract investment, and promote sustainable urban growth. Key changes include classifying buildings 24 meters or taller as high-rise structures, standardizing documentation for approvals, mandating structural designs based on soil conditions for buildings over 10 meters, and requiring All Risks Insurance Policies during construction. Developers can now pay infrastructure impact fees in installments, expired permits can be revalidated, and religious buildings are exempt from permit fees but still need online approvals. Phased fire clearance for high-rises allows partial construction before final fire certifications, alongside requirements for EV charging stations, creches in housing projects, and expanded use of transferable development rights. These reforms aim to align with national deregulation goals and support the state’s vision for modern, competitive cities.
