Housing Ministry Advises Four-Month Extension for Real Estate Projects Amid West Asia Crisis
The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs has advised State Real Estate Regulatory Authorities (RERAs) to grant a four-month extension for eligible real estate projects with completion dates on or after February 28, 2026, due to supply chain disruptions caused by the ongoing West Asia crisis. This extension, based on the Force Majeure clause in the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, aims to ease delays without requiring individual applications. While developers and industry bodies welcomed the move, some homebuyers expressed concerns over the lack of similar relief for them.
