Though the BMC has made the fire lift mandatory for buildings above 70 metres, hardly any building has received an NOC for it yet. But as taller buildings take four to five years for construction, the Fire Brigade has said that from next year onwards, there will be more buildings with the system.
The BMC commissioner had issued an order for the space for a fire evacuation lift in buildings having height more than 70 metres and above in January 2018. Fire Evacuation Lifts are compulsory in new buildings, without which the Fire Brigade will not issue a no-objection certificate. The installation of such lifts is not compulsory in old buildings.
