22 May 2024 CW Team

The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) has lodged a complaint against SDS Infracon for allegedly diverting Rs 1.82 billion meant for a housing project. The complaint, filed with the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Uttar Pradesh Police, accuses the company of misusing funds allocated for the ambitious Yamuna City project.

According to YEIDA officials, SDS Infracon received substantial advances from homebuyers but failed to utilise the funds for the intended purpose of completing the housing project. Instead, the company is accused of diverting the money to other ventures, leaving the Yamuna City project incomplete and homebuyers in distress. The allegations have prompted YEIDA to seek a thorough investigation and appropriate legal action against SDS Infracon.

YEIDA CEO Arun Vir Singh stated that the authority is committed to protecting the interests of homebuyers and ensuring that the funds are used responsibly. He emphasised the need for stringent measures to prevent such financial misconduct in the real estate sector. The authority has also urged affected homebuyers to come forward and share their grievances to strengthen the case against SDS Infracon.

The complaint highlights the broader issue of financial mismanagement in the real estate industry, where developers sometimes misuse funds, leading to delays and financial losses for homebuyers. YEIDA's proactive stance aims to set a precedent for accountability and transparency in real estate transactions.

As the investigation progresses, the outcome will be closely watched by stakeholders in the real estate sector, including regulators, developers, and homebuyers, who are all keen on ensuring fair practices and the timely completion of housing projects.
