Odisha Govt Enhances ORERA Rules to Boost Compliance

Dated on: Wednesday 2nd July 2025

The Odisha government has introduced stricter real estate regulations to improve compliance with ORERA. Developers must now upload completion and occupancy certificates, submit quarterly progress reports, and update project details on the ORERA 2.0 portal. A 1% structural defect liability is mandated, and delayed or irregular projects may face forensic audits. Planning authorities are also required to inform ORERA about all approved plans. These steps aim to ensure greater transparency, protect homebuyers’ interests, and hold developers accountable. Interim leadership has been appointed to keep ORERA functioning effectively during the regulatory transition.
