A Practical Guide to Leveraging
Floor Area Ratio (FAR) in Real Estate Projects

At MollyInfra Real Estate, we know that Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is one of the most important tools for determining how much can be built on a piece of land. Whether you're planning a commercial space, an IT/ITES hub, or an industrial project, understanding how FAR works can shape both the scope and profitability of your development.

We help property owners and investors understand FAR regulations and connect them with the right professionals to make smart, compliant decisions.

What is FAR?

FAR, also known as Floor Space Index (FSI), defines how much total floor space is permitted on a given plot. It’s calculated like this:


FAR = Total Floor Area of the Building / Plot Area


A higher FAR means more buildable space, but it must stay within the legal limits set by the local governing body.

Key Considerations in Utilizing FAR


Understand Local Rules

FAR regulations vary depending on the location and zoning of the plot. At MollyInfra, we guide clients through the process of understanding local norms and connect them with certified professionals or architects familiar with regional rules and updates.


Design Within FAR Limits

Maximizing FAR effectively involves positioning your design within the bounds of the law. We assist you in identifying planning and architecture professionals who design arrangements that utilize fully authorized space, be it a multi-story building or a hybrid-use facility.


Feasibility & Early-Stage Planning

Before you even think of doing anything related to any project, it is important to make sure that the site supports your vision. We are working hard at conducting early-stage feasibility assessments, plotting size analysis, and assessing the possible buildable area so that additional FAR rights may be taken through proper channelization.
