Building a house in Bhubaneswar: what to know

Map approval
the Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA), under the Odisha Development Authorities (Planning and Building Standards) Rules 2020 — Odisha's SUJOG Online Building Plan Approval System (OBPS). A low-risk house built to one of the state's standard pre-approved plans needs only an undertaking and the fees. Minor work such as re-tiling, re-roofing or opening a new window or door needs no permission, as long as the general building rules are kept.
Plot sizes
Plots are measured in decimal (dismil): 1 decimal = 435.6 sq ft, 100 decimal = 1 acre, and 1 guntha = 2.5 decimal (1,089 sq ft). Under the 2020 rules, plots of 115 sq m (about 1,238 sq ft, or 2.8 decimal) or less have no FAR limit for buildings up to 10 m high.
Climate
Warm-humid. Cross-ventilation comes first in the humid heat, with a reflective roof and deep overhangs, and the roof tied firmly to the frame against storm winds.
Earthquake zone
Seismic Zone III. BIS withdrew its 2025 seismic map in March 2026, so the IS 1893:2016 zones still apply.
Where people build
Patia, Khandagiri, Sundarpada, Patrapada, Hanspal.
Good to know
BDA's ₹1,536 crore budget for 2025–26 plans housing and plot schemes at Jagasara and Sanapalla, and 143 more revenue villages now fall under BDA, 712 in all.
