Gurgaon: Homebuyers have urged authorities to step in and ensure timely delivery of homes after prolonged delays in construction of a housing project in Sector 37C.Residents said they have been waiting for possession for several years despite having made full payments.According to homebuyers’ representatives, who protested on Sunday, bookings for the project , Aashiyara, were made in 2018 under the state’s affordable housing policy, and buyers claim the entire cost of their flats was paid more than three years ago. However, a portion of the construction work remains pending, with activity at the site reportedly coming to a standstill over the past year.Officials in the town and country planning department have acknowledged receiving multiple complaints regarding non-completion of the project.
Internal communications from the department indicate that the project site was inspected following representations from allottees and construction was found to be incomplete at the time of inspection. The matter has since been escalated to higher authorities for further directions .Documents show that the project received approval under the Affordable Group Housing Policy and that the developer had applied for an occupation certificate in 2024. However, inspection reports noted that finishing work in several towers was still pending, while labour presence at the site was minimal during the visit. Authorities have advised allottees to approach the real estate regulator for redressal of grievances related to possession delays.Goutam Kumar Maiti, president of the buyer’s association, said repeated changes in the proposed completion timeline over the years and assurances given during meetings with officials have yet to translate into visible progress on the ground.
Many residents said they are facing financial strain as they continue to service home loans while also paying rent.The buyers’ association has submitted representations to multiple authorities, including the Department of Town and Country Planning and the real estate regulator, seeking enforcement action and a clear roadmap for project completion. They have called for strict monitoring of the project and resumption of construction work without further delay.Officials said the matter remains under review and that further action will be taken in accordance with applicable rules and procedures. Meanwhile, homebuyers say they are hopeful that regulatory intervention will help bring long-pending relief to hundreds of middle-income families awaiting their homes.
