Nagpur: Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) has granted a four-month extension for completion of all registered housing projects across the state that were scheduled to be completed on or after Feb 28, 2026. Disruptions to construction activity due to the West Asia conflict were cited as the reason.The extension will automatically apply to all eligible projects whose original completion date, revised completion date or previously extended completion date falls on or after Feb 28, 2026. Developers will not be required to submit separate applications or seek individual approvals from MahaRERA.MahaRERA spokesperson Ram Dontonde said the decision follows directions issued by the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs to all Real Estate Regulatory Authorities (RERAs) in the country. The ministry advised state regulators to provide a four-month extension to housing projects affected by disruptions arising from the war-like situation in West Asia, which has impacted global supply chains and delayed the availability of key construction materials.As per MahaRERA, shortages of essential construction inputs, coupled with disruptions in international logistics and shipping, have affected the pace of execution of housing projects.The extension covers every registered housing project in Maharashtra meeting the eligibility criteria, irrespective of its stage of construction, provided its completion timeline falls within the specified period.The regulator said the decision was taken in the larger interest of the real estate sector, which has been grappling with supply-chain disruptions triggered by geopolitical developments.As per builders in Nagpur, the move is likely to benefit a large number of ongoing residential projects across Maharashtra and provide developers additional time to complete construction without attracting penalties linked to delayed project completion. It is also expected to offer greater clarity to homebuyers by aligning project timelines with prevailing market and supply conditions.
