Two companies engaged in the disastrous NBCC Green View project in Gurgaon have been blacklisted by the Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry, preventing them from working on any projects for the ministry for the next two years.

Additionally, the connected organizations, autonomous organizations, and Central Public Sector Enterprises of the ministry have forbidden Supreme Infrastructure India Ltd and Ramacivil Construction Pvt Ltd from working with them.

Residents of the NBCC Green View building in Sector-37D were asked to leave their units after the IIT, Delhi deemed it dangerous. The National Buildings Construction Corporation (NBCC) told the housing ministry that these two businesses had employed subpar labor, resulting in a subpar structure and creating issues for NBCC homeowners.

The ministry ordered the companies to be backlisted until March 29, 2025 after receiving answers from these companies, analyzing the NBCC's submissions, and considering the expert committee's recommendations.
