Likewise, among the balance 194 projects that are lapsed, the average property registration done is over 61%. The balance 64 projects have been completed, with a registration rate of 84% for the apartments. Some of the projects of realty developers including Wadhwa Buildcon LLP, Housing Development & Infrastructure Ltd (HDIL), Man Infraprojects, RNA Corp, Radius & Deserve LLP, Karrm Infrastructure, Man Realty, Lavasa Corp, Richa India Infra Development, Rashmi Housing, Nirmal Lifestyle, and Sheltrex Karjat.

“MahaRERA is consistently working to ensure that homebuyers' investments remain safe and protected…This list of 314 projects undergoing insolvency and bankruptcy is part of the efforts to alert the homebuyers and prevent them from getting deceived. In April 2023, MahaRERA had brought out a district wise list of 308 such projects, which proved to be helpful to several homebuyers. We appeal to everyone to check this list prior to deciding on purchasing a property,” said Manoj Saunik, Chairman, MahaRERA. The list of projects facing proceedings in NCLT, available on the regulator’s website, has been compiled based on information obtained from various sources and verified through the relevant authorities' as well.
