Homebuyers Alert: 314 Housing Projects in Maharashtra Face Insolvency
Real Estate Maharashtra:Mumbai MahaRERA, the regulatory body for the real estate sector in Maharashtra, has issued a caution to potential homebuyers by releasing a list of 314 real estate projects that are currently undergoing corporate insolvency resolution processes at the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT). The list primarily includes projects from the Mumbai region, with 236 projects, followed by 52 projects in Pune, nine in Haveli, and five each in Ahmednagar and Solapur, among other districts.

Insolvency and bankruptcy proceedings have been initiated against these entities by various banks, financial institutions, and other organizations, according to MahaRERA. In April 2023, the authority had released a list of 308 housing projects that were at NCLT. Of these, 64 projects have been completed, with 84% of the apartments being booked. Another 56 projects are ongoing and have over 34% of their apartments booked. The remaining 194 projects that have lapsed have an average booking of over 61%.

MahaRERA is uncertain if the 314 projects undergoing insolvency and bankruptcy proceedings are still accepting new customers. To ensure transparency and prevent homebuyers from being deceived, the authority has compiled the list and published it on its portal. Some of the notable projects on the NCLT list include those from Wadhwa Buildcon, Lavasa Corporation, DS Kulkarni Developers, HDIL, Neptune Developers, Nirmal Lifestyle (Kalyan) Private Limited, Radius Project Developers, and RNA Corp, among others.

The regulatory body has taken several measures to monitor all real estate projects. This includes verifying the information shared by developers and keeping track of project status through other sources. According to MahaRERA, among the 56 ongoing projects, 21 from the Mumbai suburbs have 38% bookings, 20 in Thane have 28% bookings, six in Mumbai City have 31% bookings, and five in Pune have 41% bookings.

Among the 64 completed projects, 35 are in Thane, 18 in the Mumbai suburbs, nine in the Haveli area, and two in Pune. MahaRERA has strongly advised prospective buyers to check the list before making any property purchase decisions. Manoj Saunik, the chairman of MahaRERA, emphasized the importance of this list in ensuring transparency and protecting homebuyers from potential pitfalls.
