Significant investments have already been made in these 314 projects. Out of these, 56 are ongoing with an average registration of apartments over 34%. The remaining 194 projects are lapsed, with an average property registration of over 61%. Additionally, 64 projects have been completed, with a registration rate of 84% for the apartments.

Manoj Saunik, Chairman of MahaRERA, said, “MahaRERA is consistently working to ensure that homebuyers' investments remain safe and protected. This list of 314 projects undergoing insolvency and bankruptcy is part of our efforts to alert homebuyers and prevent them from being deceived. In April 2023, MahaRERA had released a district-wise list of 308 such projects, which proved helpful to many homebuyers. We appeal to everyone to check this list before making any property purchase decisions.”
The list of projects facing insolvency proceedings is compiled based on information from various sources and verified through relevant authorities. It is unclear if these projects are still accepting new bookings. To ensure transparency and prevent homebuyers from being misled, MahaRERA has updated the list on its portal and strongly advises homebuyers to review it before making any decisions.
