A major commercial property fraud case in Gurugram has widened after police arrested the director of a real estate firm for allegedly selling the same building floor to more than 25 buyers. The case surfaced following a complaint by a corporate buyer that paid INR 2.5 crore for a unit but never received registered ownership. Investigators later found that the same floor was repeatedly sold and then leased back through another company. The alleged fraud is estimated at around INR 500 crore and is under investigation by the Economic Offences Wing.Read more

The Supreme Court has ruled that renting or leasing a residential flat does not automatically disqualify a homebuyer from being treated as a consumer under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. The court said consumer status can only be denied if it is clearly proven that the property was bought mainly for commercial purposes. The ruling came while overturning an NCDRC order that had dismissed a complaint solely because the flat was rented out. The court clarified that the burden of proving commercial intent lies with the developer, not the buyer. Since no such evidence was established, the homebuyer's complaint has been restored for fresh hearing.Read more

Haryana's flagship affordable housing policy has effectively stalled in Gurugram and Faridabad, with developers and industry stakeholders saying that escalating land and construction expenses have made projects under the scheme financially unviable. Officials from the Town and Country Planning Department have confirmed that no new licences for affordable housing projects have been granted in Gurugram over the past one-and-a-half to two years, and the Gurugram-Manesar Master Plan area has not seen any fresh affordable housing developments during this period. Under the current policy, the sale price of affordable units is capped at INR 5,000 per sq ft, but surging input costs have far outpaced this rate, leaving developers unable to meet prescribed price limits. Homebuyers and industry bodies are now urging the state government to revise the pricing framework and make the policy continuous rather than episodic to restore project momentum.Read more

Gurugram Metro Rail Limited (GMRL) has formally requested the Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) to allocate parcels of land for the construction of entry and exit points at eight stations on the first phase of the Old Gurugram Metro project. The stations requiring land include Millennium City Centre, Sector 45, Sector 33, Udyog Vihar Phase Six, Sector 10, Sector 37, Basai and the station near Dwarka Expressway, with individual requirements ranging from around 287 sq m to over 700 sq m per site. Most of this land is reportedly HSVP-owned, and the authority is considering the request. Should any portions be privately held, acquisition will proceed under Gurugram Metro's updated land policy, supported by a state-level land acquisition committee chaired by the deputy commissioner. Metro construction is underway between Sector 45 and Bakhtawar Chowk, with elevated viaduct work poised for pillar slab erection by May.Read more

Gurgaon's shift towards electric mobility in public transport remains uneven, with progress largely confined to e-cabs and electric autos. Over 20,000 electric commercial vehicles are registered in the city, but its entire public bus fleet continues to operate on CNG. Plans to introduce electric buses have been discussed for several years under national schemes, with Gurgaon expected to receive a large share of the proposed fleet. However, pending approvals and slow execution have delayed implementation, keeping large-scale public transport outside the EV transition.Read more

The Gurugram Authority is exploring land allocation and real estate revenue options to improve the financial sustainability of the newly built Gurugram Metro. Gurugram Metro Rail Limited (GMRL) had earlier requested that land parcels along the metro corridor be studied for potential commercial and value capture development to generate revenue beyond fare collections. In response, the city's zonal office and chief town planner have been asked to examine suitable land allocation and value capture finance mechanisms that could include commercial development rights, increased floor area potential near stations, transit-oriented development, and other real estate-linked revenue streams. The move comes as transit systems increasingly look to non-fare income sources including leasing, advertising, and property development to bridge funding gaps. The proposal is seen as a step toward making the Gurugram Metro financially viable and less dependent on government subsidies.Read more

The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) has announced plans to set up a micro data centre to digitise the city's water supply network, officials said, as part of broader efforts to improve monitoring and reduce water losses. The centre will integrate geographic information systems (GIS), artificial intelligence, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems and sensor technology to monitor water infrastructure in real time, allowing more precise tracking of supply, consumption and losses arising from leakages or theft. Gurugram will be divided into District Metered Areas (DMAs) to enhance the accuracy of data collection and enable quicker response to network faults. The initiative is inspired by advanced water management practices and aims to strengthen service reliability. Initially focused on water supply, the digital infrastructure could later be extended to cover other civic utilities such as sewerage systems. Implementation is expected to unfold over a two-year timeline.Read more

The Haryana Directorate of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) has issued a regulatory notice to a Gurugram developer over alleged non-compliance related to a commercial colony project in Sector 65, citing lapses in statutory approvals. The licences, originally granted in 2011 and 2012 for a 3.2-acre development in the Gurgaon-Manesar Urban Complex, expired in 2019 and 2020, and were not renewed due to failure by the developer to apply for renewal or submit requisite fees and documents. DTCP also cited non-transfer of land earmarked for master plan roads to the government free of cost. The developer has been given 30 days to rectify the deficiencies, failing which further action under the Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas Act may be initiated, including formal enforcement proceedings. Authorities have been instructed to update the case status publicly.Read more
