The Madhya Pradesh Town and Country Planning Act, 1973

Infrastructure197388 sections

This law governs how land and buildings are developed across the entire state of Madhya Pradesh. It sets rules for construction, land use, and planning to ensure orderly growth. The Act applies to most areas within the state, though it excludes specific zones like cantonments, defense lands, and railway territories. By defining terms such as agriculture and commercial use, it provides a legal framework for development plans and building operations. This ensures that urban and rural development happens in a structured manner, balancing the need for progress with the preservation of amenities and public safety.
