Building a house in Hubballi-Dharwad: what to know

Map approval
The Hubballi-Dharwad Municipal Corporation (HDMC), which approves new buildings in the twin cities. Under a September 2025 order of Karnataka's Urban Development Department, also notified under the Karnataka Municipal Corporations Act, a house on a site of up to 1,200 sq ft with ground + 2 floors, or stilt + 3, needs no occupancy certificate. The plan must still be approved and followed.
Plot sizes
Plots are listed in sq ft (1 sq m ≈ 10.76 sq ft), and farm land in acres. Plot listings seen in October 2026 were mostly 1,162–1,453 sq ft, in Navanagar, Amargol and Rayapur, while plots on Gokul Road ran to 2,400 sq ft.
Climate
Warm-humid. Hubballi-Dharwad falls in the warm-humid zone of BEE's climate map, though Dharwad district gets only about 735 mm of rain a year: shade the windows, give every room cross-ventilation, and keep openable windows to at least 16.66% of the floor area.
Earthquake zone
Seismic Zone III. IS 1893's table of towns lists Dharwad in Zone III (Hubballi is not listed on its own), while BMTPC's Vulnerability Atlas of India (2019) maps Dharwad district in Zone II; we design the twin city to Zone III, the code's figure and the stricter of the two. BIS withdrew its 2025 seismic map in March 2026, so the IS 1893:2016 zones still apply.
Ground and water
The district lies on gneissic granite and schist at the foot of the Western Ghats. CGWB finds lateritic sandy soil in the west and black cotton soil 2–5 m thick in the east, which takes in water very slowly. In parts of Hubli and Dharwad taluks the water table is 10–20 m down.
Where people build
Navanagar, Gokul Road, Keshwapur, Amargol, Rayapur, Gamanagatti.
Good to know
On 26 May 2026 Karnataka's Governor approved splitting the Hubballi-Dharwad Municipal Corporation so that Dharwad gets its own corporation, on condition that the split takes effect only after the present council's term ends; in August 2026 the final notification was still awaited.
