21 Aug 2024 CW Team

Key Highlights:

Extent of Stalled Projects: The report reveals that 1,998 housing projects are stalled across various cities, affecting a substantial number of residential units. The majority of these stalled projects are located in metropolitan regions, where demand for housing is typically high.

Cities Affected: Among the 42 cities identified in the report, major urban centers like Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, and Bengaluru are among the worst affected. These cities have seen a significant number of projects either delayed indefinitely or completely stalled, exacerbating the housing shortage in these areas.

Causes of Delays: Several factors contribute to the stalling of these housing projects. Key issues include financial constraints faced by developers, regulatory hurdles, land acquisition challenges, and delays in obtaining necessary approvals. Additionally, the ongoing economic uncertainties have further strained the real estate sector.

Impact on Homebuyers: The stalling of these projects has left thousands of homebuyers in a lurch, with many facing indefinite delays in the possession of their properties. This has also led to increased litigation and demand for government intervention to resolve the issues.

Sectoral Challenges: The report highlights the broader challenges within the real estate sector, including liquidity issues, high levels of unsold inventory, and the need for improved regulatory frameworks to ensure timely project completion.

Government Intervention: There is a growing call for government intervention to address the issue of stalled projects. Potential measures include providing financial support to distressed developers, streamlining regulatory processes, and implementing stricter enforcement of project timelines.

The PropEquity report underscores the need for systemic reforms in the real estate sector to prevent further stalling of housing projects and to protect the interests of homebuyers.
