The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) has issued show-cause notices to 8,212 housing projects statewide for failing to submit mandatory Quarterly Progress Reports (QPRs) for January-March by the April 20 deadline. These reports provide key updates on sales, expenditures, and construction progress.

The highest defaults are in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region and Pune. MahaRERA emphasizes QPRs' role in ensuring transparency and protecting homebuyers.
