Construction cost rises due to hike in brick rates
Greater Noida- Construction cost is at peak owing to the abrupt rise in brick rates following the paused brick-production at brick kilns.
The cost has been increased from Rs 3600 to Rs 6200 per thousand bricks. Opposing the new norms of procuring permission from the Ministry of Environment, brick manufacturers have stopped production.
Fearing huge loss in construction, building contractors have stopped work at sites of ongoing projects in Delhi. The Noida Building Contractors Association has requested the district magistrate for an early resolution of the problem so that the brick kilns start production.
If the brick kilns remain closed for some more time, then no doubt the brick rates will even rise higher. Residents, builders and contractors are all worried about the rising brick cost and have put the constructions at halt.
According to the new rules, environment clearance is required even for mining in less than five hectares of land. Opposing this new norm, all brick kilns were closed down. Brick kiln operators have been claiming that they should be exempted from obtaining permission from the Ministry of Environment for earth excavation.
The State Level Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) has requested the Ministry of Environment and Forest to simplify the norms for brick kilns.
Environment clearance is mandatory for projects having greater than 50 hectares and for projects less than 50 hectares, the State Environment Impact Assessment Authority is empowered to give clearances.
Above hundred brick kiln owners have submitted applications to SEIAA for brick earth mining. And the state level committee has been planning to exempt the brick earth mining in less than 5 hectare area from EIA report and public hearing. Also the procedure too has been made simple. The Ministry has approved the relaxation of norms.
