Ahmedabad: RMC Plant Ban, Impact Fee Law Deadline Extended
The city of Ahmedabad is taking action to improve air quality by planning to ban ready-mix concrete (RMC) plants from residential areas within two months.
At the same time, there is a law in place allowing people to legalize constructions, but there hasn't been a great response.
Due to this, the government has decided to give more time for applications.
In addition, a new law requires those applying to pay more and follow more rules.
The corporation is taking steps to tackle pollution while giving more opportunity for those with illegal constructions to be regularized, therefore extending the deadline for applications to encourage more participation in the process and generate revenue.
Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) plans to ban ready-mix concrete (RMC) plants from residential areas within two months.
The ban aims to combat air pollution caused by RMC plants in residential zones.
The decision follows the implementation of new guidelines for RMC plants by Auda.
