For the overall development of Senior Living sector in India, it is important to have well defined standards, guidelines and policies.
Southern parts of India have seen an exponential growth in Senior Living projects over the past 10 years, however North India is yet to catch the trend.
Setting up a retirement home or assisted living project can be a bit tricky, especially when one is not sure of the government policies and development norms for the same.
While some states have come up with their own guidelines, unfortunately many are still lacking behind.
In November 2020, the State Government of Haryana approved draft of policy for Retirement Housing under the provisions of Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas Act, 1975 to cater to the ageing population and their specific needs.
Through this policy document, developers will get more clarity on the permissible built-up area, ground coverage, communal facilities like dining, medical center, recreation areas etc.
