Building rules in Dewas
What decides how much you may build, how far back from the road and how high: the rules of Madhya Pradesh, on top of the national codes below.
Madhya Pradesh
Madhya Pradesh Bhumi Vikas Niyam (Land Development Rules), 2012 - consolidated up to 6 March 2025
The main building code for every town in MP. It sets plot coverage, FAR, setbacks, height, parking and colony-layout standards that a house or project must meet before permission is given.
Note: The T&CP site also lists a later amendment notice from the Urban Development & Housing Department (NewsPDF/bvr3006.pdf). It is a scanned copy we could not read, so the March 2025 consolidation may be missing recent changes.
Madhya Pradesh Nagar Tatha Gram Nivesh Adhiniyam, 1973 - consolidated up to 18 March 2025
The state town-planning law. Development plans are drafted, approved and modified under it, and land-use permission is granted under it.
Madhya Pradesh Mahanagar Kshetra Niyojan evam Vikas Adhiniyam, 2025
A new law for planning metropolitan regions. It lets the state create metropolitan planning and development authorities over city clusters such as Indore and Bhopal and their surrounding districts.
Note: Confirm from the notifications issued under the Act which districts fall inside each metropolitan region and how the new authorities share powers with T&CP and the development authorities.
Madhya Pradesh Integrated Township Rules, 2026
New rules for large integrated townships. They set a minimum land area, require developers to register and reserve a share of housing for weaker sections.
Note: Secondary news source; we could not find the gazette text online. The T&CP website (mptownplan.gov.in) lists developer registrations under these rules.
