MahaRERA Issues Warning: 314 Housing Projects Under Insolvency, Homebuyers Advised to Exercise Caution
Real Estate News:The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) has issued a caution to homebuyers regarding 314 housing projects that are in the process of insolvency. These projects, registered with MahaRERA, are undergoing proceedings at the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) of 2016. Various banks and financial institutions have initiated the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) against these projects.

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.

Some of the developers involved in these projects include Wadhwa Buildcon LLP, Housing Development & Infrastructure Ltd (HDIL), Man Infraprojects, RNA Corp, Radius & Deserve LLP, Karrm Infrastructure, Man Realty, Lavasa Corp, Richa India Infra Development, Rashmi Housing, Nirmal Lifestyle, and Sheltrex Karjat.

MahaRERA has taken several measures to monitor all real estate projects. The regulator verifies information provided by developers and stays updated on project statuses through various sources. 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.

The data from MahaRERA shows that out of the 88 projects in suburban areas of Mumbai, 51 have seen 70% investment. In Pune, 75% of the 50 projects are already booked. In Thane, 52 out of 106 projects have seen 50% investment, and in Palghar, 16 out of 18 projects are 74% booked.

In Solapur, all 5 projects have 87% investment. In Nagpur, both projects have 60% investment, and the sole lapsed project in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar is 55% invested. Of the 9 lapsed projects in Mumbai City, 2 have 68% investment. In Nashik, there is 34% investment in all 3 lapsed projects, and in Raigad, 13 out of 15 lapsed projects are 32% invested.

Among the 56 ongoing projects, 21 are from Mumbai suburbs with 38% bookings, 20 in Thane with 28% sales, 6 in Mumbai City with 31% bookings, and 5 in Pune with 41% sales.

Homebuyers are urged to exercise due diligence and refer to the updated list on MahaRERA’s website to make informed decisions and avoid potential financial pitfalls.
