ED Recovers Rs Crore in Bank Fraud Case Involving Supergold Pipes

                Gurgaon: The department of town and country 
planning (DTCP) held a review meeting with 
over a dozen builders in the city to assess the 
progress of affordable housing projects. DTPC 
reviewed the status of 55 ongoing projects, of 
which 40 were found to be progressing on time 
while around 15 were running behind schedule, 
causing inconvenience to homebuyers.
While Agranta Realty's project, which received 
environmental clearance in 2019, has only 
completed 76% of construction, Revital 
Realty's project has made only 9% progress 
and 
Renuka Traders' project remains only 86% 
complete even after six years.
Agranta Realty's project developer cited 
pollution-related restrictions under the Graded 
Response Action Plan (GRAP) as a reason for 
the delay and sought an extension until Dec 
2025.
Under DTCP regulations, projects must be 
completed within four years of receiving 
environmental clearance. However, several 
developers failed to meet this deadline, leaving 
homebuyers uncertain about their future.
DTCP expressed dissatisfaction over slow 
progress and warned builders of strict actions 
against non-compliant developers. Regular 
review meetings will be held to ensure timely 
completion, and developers must submit 
progress reports periodically.
"Builders must complete projects within the 
stipulated four-year timeframe, failing which 
strict action will be taken. Regular reviews will 
be conducted, and developers are required to 
submit progress reports periodically," said 
Renuka Singh, senior town planner, DTCP.
Projects by MRG Eco World, Apricus Hills, GLS 
Infracon, and Prime Infra Developers were 
noted for their satisfactory progress and while 
in projects by Signature Global Private Limited 
and Pareena Builders & Promoters Private 
Limited, some towers were completed and 
work on several others remained slow.
Meanwhile, homebuyers, many of whom are 
struggling with prolonged waiting periods and 
financial strain, demanded accountability and 
swift action on the part of builders.
