This is a Zone which provides opportunity for mixed use and high density
development along the 2nd Ring Road.

10.2.11 Transport Node (TN)

This is the main Transport Node of the city. It is predominantly for freight
transportation, storage and distribution. This zone permits residential dwelling units
only for workers and other public utility service staff working within the Transport
Node, having maximum built up area per unit of 66 sq.mts, using a maximum of 20%
of total utilized FSI of the plot area.
