Fire water tank capacity calculator: the underground and terrace tank your building needs
Updated By Flamekite Editorial DeskFacts checked against official sources on
Fire tank capacity calculation for your building: the underground and terrace tank in litres and the fire pump set, from the NBC 2016 Table 7 row. Free.
Quick answer
A building's fire water tank comes from one row of NBC 2016 Part 4 Table 7, picked by its use, height and floor area. Many buildings below 15 m need only a terrace tank of 5,000 to 25,000 litres. Offices, shops, hotels, hospitals and halls between 15 m and 24 m add an underground tank of 1,00,000 to 1,50,000 litres, while flats and schools of that height still need only a 25,000 litre terrace tank.
The largest rows are a five-star hotel (2,50,000 litres underground) and a mall with a cinema or food court (2,00,000 litres) at any height. Enter your building below for its row, the pump set and the source. Maharashtra is read from its own Schedule-I of 2023.

How the fire tank capacity is worked out, in 6 steps
Fix the occupancy group
NBC 2016 Part 4 sorts buildings into groups: A-3 and A-4 for hostels and flats, A-5 hotels, B schools, C-1 hospitals, D assembly, E offices, F shops, G factories and H storage. Each group has its own rows.
Measure height, floors and area
Take the height from ground level to the top floor's roof, count the floors including the ground floor, and note the covered area of the largest floor. Hotels, shops, hospitals, storage and factories change rows by area as well as height.
Find the row
Read the row whose height band and area band hold your building. The row gives the underground static tank, the terrace tank and the risers, sprinklers and alarms that go with them.
Add the basement top-up
In the rows below 15 m, a basement over 200 m² adds 5,000 litres to the terrace tank and 450 litres a minute to the terrace pump (Table 7 Note 6).
Read the pump set
Rows with an underground tank name a pump set at that tank, from 1,620 to 2,850 litres a minute. Each set carries a 180 litre a minute jockey pump, and Note 22 asks one set per 100 hydrants, up to 2 sets.
Check what your state applies
NBC 2016 was withdrawn on 30 April 2026 and the 2026 standard is voluntary, so a state applies these rows only as its own rules adopt them. Maharashtra has its own Schedule-I, which the calculator reads instead.
Maharashtra Schedule-I fire tank rows
Maharashtra's 2023 Schedule-I copies most national rows but changes a few: a hotel of 500 m² to 1,000 m² a floor needs a 20,000 litre terrace tank and no underground tank, and a warehouse under 1,000 m² needs a 50,000 litre underground tank and no terrace tank.

Read off the page images of the 2023 gazette as reproduced in the Flamekite records for hotels, schools, malls, hostels, guest houses and warehouses. Rows for offices, factories, hospitals and halls were not proof-read, so the calculator says "ask us" for them in Maharashtra and shows the national row for comparison.
Fire tank capacity calculation: 7 worked buildings
Flamekite’s working from the official rules; no government publishes this figure.
Flamekite's arithmetic from the rows above, for buildings we describe. Each names the row it uses.
Case 1
A 20 m office block of 800 m² floors
Business (E), 6 floors, national model.
What applies The E row above 15 m to 24 m: 1,00,000 litres underground and 10,000 on the terrace, 1,10,000 litres in all, with a 2,280 litre a minute pump set, a wet riser, a yard hydrant and sprinklers. NBC 2016, Table 7
Case 2
A 14 m hotel in Pune with 800 m² floors
Hotel (A-5), no basement, Maharashtra.
What applies Schedule-I's 500 m² to 1,000 m² row: a 20,000 litre terrace tank and a 450 litre a minute terrace pump, no underground tank. Under NBC 2016 the same floors would need an underground tank of at least 50,000 litres. MH Act 2023 Schedule-I
Case 3
A 40 m apartment tower
Flats (A-4), national model.
What applies The row above 35 m to 45 m: 75,000 litres underground and 5,000 on the terrace, with electric and diesel pumps of 2,280 litres a minute and a jockey. NBC 2016, Table 7
Case 4
A 12 m nursing home with beds on 4 floors
Hospital (C-1), ground plus 3, plot under 1,000 m².
What applies The ground plus 2 or more, with beds row: 75,000 litres underground and 10,000 on the terrace, with 1,620 litre a minute electric and diesel pumps. NBC 2016, Part 4
Case 5
An 18 m school
Educational (B), national model.
What applies The 15 m to 24 m row asks no underground tank: a 25,000 litre terrace tank and a 900 litre a minute terrace pump, with a down-comer. BIS, NBC 2016 Part 4
Case 6
A 400 m² single-storey godown
Storage (H), 7 m.
What applies Over 250 m² on the ground floor only: 50,000 litres underground and 10,000 on the terrace. In Maharashtra the under 1,000 m² row asks the same 50,000 litres underground and no terrace tank. NBC 2016, Part 4
Case 7
A 600 m² workshop of moderate hazard
Factory (G-2), one floor, 8 m.
What applies The 500 m² to 1,000 m² row up to 15 m: a 50,000 litre terrace tank and a 900 litre a minute pump, with sprinklers and automatic detection. BIS, NBC 2016 Part 4
Where the table stops and what to do instead
The calculator gives a number only where a proof-read row holds the building. These are the cases where it does not, and the next step for each.
If The use is barred at that height
Table 7 Note 16 bars schools, halls and shops above 30 m, Note 20 bars storage at 15 m and above, and Notes 18 and 19 bar factories above 15 or 18 m. A taller building in those uses needs a change of use or a special approval. NBC 2016, Table 7
If A Maharashtra warehouse over 1,000 m²
Schedule-I sizes the water by design to IS 13039, IS 15105 and IS 15325 for the whole occupancy (Notes 18 and 21(a)), so there is no fixed figure to read. MH Act 2023 Schedule-I
If A building designed to NBCS 2026
The 2026 standard grades buildings by protection level and sizes the tank and pumps by hydraulic calculation. It is voluntary until a state adopts it. BIS, SP 7:2026
If A row Flamekite has not proof-read
The calculator says "ask us" instead of guessing. Send the building on the free fire NOC check and we read the row your state applies. NBC 2016, Part 4
If A height exactly on a band line
At 15 m, 24 m or 30 m the record's wording decides which row applies; the calculator flags it, and the fire service makes the final reading.
