RERA was introduced with the primary aim of safeguarding homebuyers from the woes of delayed and stalled housing projects. It has largely succeeded in achieving this objective, not only in Hyderabad but also across the top seven cities in India.

The data reveals that out of 1,642 RERA-registered residential projects launched in the top seven cities during the same period, 86 per cent have been completed despite challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic and supply chain disruptions caused by the war in Europe. Chennai takes the lead with a 90 per cent completion rate.

Anuj Puri, Chairman of Anarock Group, said, “when it comes to ensuring timely delivery of residential real estate projects, RERA has delivered resoundingly wherever it has been fully deployed. The overall completion rate of 86% across the top 7 cities in the 1.5 years following RERA implementation is remarkable.”

According to Anarock, several projects across cities remain unfinished for various reasons. In some cases, there are large-size projects which take longer to complete while in others, projects by smaller developers have been roadblocked by liquidity and/or regulatory compliance issues.

Amid soaring inflation of input costs, only financially strong developers are able to keep their projects on track.
