Gurugram Tightens Construction Waste Rules With Disposal Proof
Gurugram is creating stricter rules for construction and demolition waste.
People planning demolition on plots of at least 200 square metres must estimate how much rubble they will produce.
They must provide this information when requesting approval for their building plans.
The city will require proof that the waste was properly disposed of before granting an occupancy certificate.
New rules also set deadlines for waste handling.
Builders must use required amounts of recycled material.
Digital tools will be used to track the waste.
Government construction projects will follow the same rules as private projects.
The plan is intended to reduce dust and manage waste better.
The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram will require disposal proof before issuing building occupancy certificates.
Applicants demolishing structures on plots of 200 square metres or more must estimate rubble volumes before construction.
The new measures include deadlines, mandatory recycled-material quotas, and digital tracking of construction waste.
The rules aim to reduce dust pollution and improve construction and demolition waste management.
Central, state, and municipal projects within MCG limits will no longer receive exemptions based on cost or scale.
