Nagpur Leads in RERA-Compliant Housing

25 Feb 2025 CW Team

The latest research by eXp India has shown that Nagpur tops the table as the city with the most RERA compliant homes listed for sale in the current market, whilst Delhi is home to the lowest level.

eXp India analysed the current market looking at property listings across 15 major cities and what proportion of the properties on sale were marked as RERA compliant.*

The Indian real estate market has undergone dramatic change since the introduction of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA), 2016, as it has provided a much-needed regulatory framework to help protect homebuyers and allow them to make more informed choices when purchasing.

Its introduction has helped improve financial transparency, the provision of clear information disclosure, grievance redressal and the more timely delivery of housing stock to the market, amongst other things.

However, the latest research by eXp India shows that the number of homes listed for sale that are considered RERA compliant differs dramatically across India’s major cities.

Nagpur is home to the highest proportion, where 38 per cent of all homes currently listed for sale are considered RERA compliant.

Surat also ranks highly in this respect, with 36 per cent of all properties meeting RERA compliance, whilst Indore completes the top three at 29 per cent.

Across Pune (26 per cent), Hyderabad (24 per cent), Ahmedabad (22 per cent) and Navi Mumbai (22 per cent), more than one in five homes listed for sale also boast RERA compliance.

However, at the opposite end of the spectrum, just 0.6 per cent of homes listed for sale across Delhi are considered RERA compliant.
