Maharashtra’s real estate regulator suspended the registration of 388 projects – including three by Macrotech Developers – and restricted their further sales, marketing or adverstising for failing to comply with regulations on uploading details online.
Sub-registrars have also been directed not to register sale agreements and sale deeds of flats in the suspended projects, the Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) said in a statement on September 18.
All the projects were registered in January 2023. The regulator’s decision was taken to enforce compliance with regulatory provisions on making details of the projects available on its website.
Three of the suspended projects belong to Macrotech Developers, a listed company operating under the Lodha banner. The projects are Bellissimo in the Andheri area of Mumbai and Crown Dombivli 1 and Lodha Panacea III in Thane district, according to MahaRERA.
Among the non-listed developers are Prince KCD Heritage with a project called Prince KCD Heritage and Jangid Home, which is building Jangid Meadows.
Email queries have been sent to Macrotech Developers, Prince KCD Heritage and Jangid Homes.
Pending project details
According to MahaRERA, 746 projects were registered in January. The developers had time until April 20 to upload details of their projects such as the number of flats, the funds received and the funds utilised on the regulator’s website.
For developers that did not comply with the requirements, notices were issued, giving them 15 days to reply. For those that still did not respond, a final notice was issued giving them 45 days to state why their projects should not be suspended, MahaRERA said in the statement.
According to the regulator, the details of 346 projects have been uploaded in compliance with the regulations. Action has now been initiated against 388 projects for which details had not been uploaded.
