The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) has informed that a total of 314 projects registered with the Authority are undergoing proceedings at the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) under the insolvency and bankruptcy code. The real estate regulator has published the list on its website to prevent homebuyers from getting deceived.

The insolvency and bankruptcy proceedings have been initiated by various banks, financial institutions, and other entities extending line of credit to the real estate sector.

Among these 314 projects, significant investment has been made. Of them, 56 are ongoing projects with an average registration of apartments at over 34%. Likewise, among the balance 194 projects that are lapsed, the average registration done is over 61%. The balance 64 projects have been completed, with a registration rate of 84% for the apartments.

MahaRERA has initiated several measures to keep a check of all real estate projects. Not only the information shared by the developers is verified, but also keeps itself abreast with project’s status through other sources. The list of projects facing proceedings in NCLT has been compiled based on information obtained from various sources and verified through the relevant authorities' as well.

Statement Of MahaRERA Chairman Manoj Saunik

Stating that the Authority is consistently working to ensure that homebuyers' investments remain safe and protected, MahaRERA Chairman Manoj Saunik said, "The MahaRERA has compiled this crucial information of the projects undergoing insolvency and bankruptcy proceedings from various sources and has also verified the same from NCLT’s website. A comprehensive and compiled list has been made public for the larger interest of the homebuyers. The list of 314 projects undergoing insolvency and bankruptcy is part of the efforts to alert the homebuyers and prevent them from getting deceived. In April 2023, MahaRERA had brought out a district wise list of 308 such projects, which proved to be helpful to several homebuyers. MahaRERA appeals to everyone to check this list prior to deciding on purchasing a property."
