GRA refers to the total land designated for residential purposes, including plots and internal open spaces but excluding roads, utilities, and commercial/amenity areas.

 Q2. How is GRA different from Net Residential Area (NRA)?

GRA includes all land within a residential zoning block, while NRA includes only the actual buildable residential plots.

Authorities use GRA to calculate permissible density, number of dwelling units, FAR, and infrastructure requirements.
