The Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority (UP-RERA) has reinstated 22 stalled real estate projects, allowing construction to resume across seven districts. These projects, comprising 8,856 flats, plots, and commercial units, were earlier placed on the abeyance list due to non-compliance with documentation requirements.
