Telangana Raises Fire NOC Height Limit
Telangana has revised its fire safety clearance rules, increasing the maximum building height for which a fire NOC is mandatory from 18 metres to 24 metres for residential structures. The change aims to streamline approvals, reduce construction delays, and align safety standards with modern high‑rise designs, while still mandating compliance with updated fire safety norms.
Telangana's fire department has lifted the height threshold for residential fire NOC approvals to 24 metres, up from the previous 18 metres. The revision also brings new safety provisions for provisional NOCs.
- Height limit: Buildings up to 24 m no longer need a full fire NOC, easing the clearance process.
- Safety standards: Updated rules still require compliance with fire‑safety measures such as extinguishers, alarms, and escape routes.
- Impact: Developers can speed up project timelines, while residents benefit from clearer safety guidelines.
