Ahmedabad: In a first, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has specified permissible Floor Space Index (FSI) and building height limits while announcing the auction of nine plots across the city. The move is aimed at attracting greater interest from builders and developers, who had earlier shown limited enthusiasm for AMC plot auctions due to the absence of clear development parameters. The nine plots have a combined base price of Rs 1,010 crore.The estate department has included construction norms alongside the base prices of the plots, enabling prospective buyers to assess their development potential before bidding.Among the plots on offer is FP 84+85 of TP 34 in Jagatpur, where construction of a building up to 100 metres in height is permitted. The plot measures 7,078 sq m and carries a base price of Rs 1.85 lakh per sq m, taking its total base price to Rs 130.9 crore.AMC announced the auction on Sept 11. Interested bidders can register and submit earnest money deposits between Sept 11 and Oct 12. Online bidding for the nine plots will be held on Oct 15 and 16.Another key parcel is FP 96 in TP 109 (Muthia-Hanspura-Bilasia), spread over 41,843 sq m. The plot falls in the Residential-1 (R-1) zone and permits construction up to 45 metres in height. However, as it lies within an area regulated by the Airports Authority of India, the permissible height will be subject to the authority‘s NOC. The base price has been fixed at Rs 71,000 per sq m, taking the total value to Rs 297 crore.Among the other plots offered, FP 140 in TP 212 (Ambali) permits a height of 45 metres and has a base price of Rs 142.2 crore.
