The island city and Metro interchanges, which have been granted more FSI, are likely to see more development. Representational Image

A home buyer can convert his/her 1-BHK flat into a studio apartment without encountering any objections from the local body, provided no structural or sanitation changes are made. Metro interchanges DN Nagar, Lokhandwala junction, JVLR junction, BKC, Seepz, Dahisar East and Gandhi Nagar will be granted special development provisions, with the sites getting more FSI. With major interchanges being in the suburbs, it is likely that substantial development will happen in suburban areas where Metro tracks align.
