MahaRERA Puts 1,750 Lapsed Housing Projects on Hold

11 Jun 2024 CW Team

The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) has placed the registration of 1,750 lapsed housing projects on hold. This decision affects numerous developers who have failed to complete their projects on time. MahaRERA aims to address the concerns of homebuyers and ensure project completion through this measure. The authority is focused on safeguarding the interests of homebuyers by scrutinizing developers and ensuring they meet their commitments.

Several factors have contributed to the lapsed status of these projects, including financial difficulties, legal challenges, and changing regulations. MahaRERA is working to identify solutions and provide necessary extensions to developers where feasible. In cases where projects are unlikely to proceed, MahaRERA is also considering de-registration to allow developers to exit responsibly.

This move follows MahaRERA?s recent actions to freeze accounts and extend deadlines for other non-compliant projects. These steps are part of a broader effort to improve transparency and accountability within the real estate sector in Maharashtra. The authority continues to engage with stakeholders, including homebuyers and developers, to find resolutions that balance interests and promote project completion.
