Legal ruling

Stuck in a stalled project? Buyers just won the right to finish one themselves

20 Aug 2026 · Information, not legal advice

In a first-of-its-kind order, MahaRERA let a buyers' group take over and complete a long-delayed Navi Mumbai township.

MahaRERA revoked the registration of the long-stalled Clan City township at Rohinjan (near Taloja) after 154 buyer complaints against the developer, and took the rare step of allowing the buyers' association and housing society to complete the project themselves or bring in a new developer. The regulator flagged serious problems including alleged fund diversion and no credible completion plan, declared the project 'stressed', and barred the original developer from fresh sales or creating any new rights over units. Court-monitored safeguards such as escrow accounts were recommended.

What it means for you: If your project has been frozen for years with no realistic path to finishing, this shows buyers are no longer stuck with only 'wait or refund' — an organised association can potentially step in to revive it. Being part of a formal buyers' association or society matters, because relief like this is granted to groups, not lone individuals. This is an emerging, case-by-case route, so check whether your project is officially flagged as stalled or stressed and what protections apply. This is information, not legal advice.
