"RERA is gaining stronger ground in most states and many of these projected 2.75 lakh units are likely to be completed on time by December 2020. Delhi-NCR may see some projects delayed by a few months due to the construction ban. Also, developers are keenly aware that ready-to-move homes are in greatest demand and will spare no effort in completing their projects on time," said Anuj Puri, Chairman - ANAROCK Property Consultants.
