Centre Recommends 4-Month RERA Extension for Delayed Real Estate Projects

Dated on: Wednesday 5th August 2026

The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) has recommended that all State Real Estate Regulatory Authorities (RERAs) provide a four-month extension to eligible real estate projects impacted by disruptions linked to the West Asia conflict. The advisory recognizes the situation as a force majeure event due to supply chain issues, rising material costs, labour shortages, and construction delays. The extension is intended for projects whose completion deadlines fall on or after February 28, 2026. The move is expected to help developers complete projects without regulatory pressure while safeguarding the interests of homebuyers through continued oversight under the RERA framework.
