What is an FSI?

The ratio between the built-up area and the plot’s total area is known as Floor Space Index (FSI). Other names for FSI are Floor Area Ratio (FAR) or Floor Space Ratio (FSR). The National Building Code (NBC) governs the FSI, FAR, or FSR. FSI is an important terminology and can be mentioned as the base of any real estate construction activity.

How is FSI calculated?

FSI = Total building area/total plot area

The FSI mentions the ratio of construction area allowed on a plot to the entire plot area.

What are the factors that affect FSI?

The FSI is determined based on the growth of the city, the facilities available and population.
It also depends on the construction type, expected growth in the place, type of land used for construction, and type of construction — residential, commercial, or industrial.
Most developers prefer a high FSI so that they can construct more projects on the available area that will help in increasing the sales and meet demand-supply gap.
