MahaRERA extends deadline for completion of 8 projects in Mumbai

21 Apr 2023 CW Team

In a series of orders issued over the course of the past month, the Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) has permitted developers of at least eight projects in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) to extend project completion dates without the necessary approval of the homebuyers.

The MahaRERA made the decision in cases where there are indications that the project will be finished soon.

These rulings follow a MahaRERA policy decision from December 2022 that permitted developers to request for an extension under section 7 of the RERA Act without the required 51 per cent approval of homebuyers, with a later decision being made on a case-by-case basis for genuine applicants.

What is the order? The MahaRERA extended the deadline for developments in the MMR, including Poonam Heights, Ekta Parksville phase 2, Brooklyn Park phase 2, Ekta Parksville phase 3, Brooklyn Park phase 4, Ekta Greenville phase 2, and Ekta Tripolis phase 1, citing the need to protect homeowners' interests.

These projects received extensions after their developers submitted MahaRERA applications in accordance with RERA Act section 7(3).
