The last decade has seen a significant reduction in homebuyers' wait for possession in India's top cities, thanks to regulatory reforms and advancements in construction technology.

This reduction can be attributed to the combined effect of the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA), modernisation of construction technology, and the increasing market share of large and listed developers. The stringent rules imposed on project delays by regulatory authorities have also played a crucial role in reducing the completion time.
Interestingly, Chennai has emerged as the city with the lowest average completion time, at 3.6 years. Hyderabad and Bengaluru followed closely, with average completion times of 4.2 and 4.8 years, respectively. In contrast, large projects in Delhi-NCR and Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) took longer to complete, with average times of 5.4 and 5.2 years, respectively.
The report also highlights the differences in land acquisition practices between cities. While developers in Delhi-NCR and MMR often purchase land outright, compromising their financial health and delivery capability, joint development projects are more prevalent in southern cities like Chennai and Hyderabad. In these joint developments, landowners receive a share of the developed units, reducing the financial burden on developers.
Weather conditions and statutory restrictions on construction in Delhi-NCR also affect construction timelines in the region. Kolkata, on the other hand, took the longest average time to complete large projects, at 5.7 years.

The firm's Chairman, Anuj Puri, credits the reduction in completion time to the combined efforts of regulatory authorities, developers, and advancements in construction technology.
