The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) has approved 809 housing projects across the state ahead of Diwali 2025. This approval reflects a significant push to meet the growing demand for residential units in Maharashtra, particularly in key urban and suburban areas.

In addition to granting approval for new projects, MahaRERA has also implemented necessary corrections to ongoing developments, ensuring they align with regulatory standards and timelines. This move is expected to bolster transparency and enhance confidence in the state’s real estate sector.

MahaRERA’s efforts to streamline approvals and monitor ongoing projects are part of the broader strategy to improve housing availability and promote sustainable urban development. These steps come as Maharashtra continues to face a growing need for affordable and well-regulated residential options.
