Abstract: The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) regulates construction and urban development in Mumbai through detailed building regulations and bye-laws. These rules govern floor space index (FSI), building height, open spaces, and minimum room sizes to ensure safety, sustainability, and organized growth. Key provisions include location-specific FSI and height limits, mandatory setbacks, prescribed room dimensions, and requirements for staircases and refuge areas to promote safety and livability. Compliance with the latest Development Control Regulations (DCR) and relevant government resolutions is mandatory for all projects, ensuring uniformity, adherence to planning standards, and orderly urban development across the city.
