MahaRERA has approved 435 new housing projects across Maharashtra, covering 32,981 flats with an estimated project value of ₹23,719 crore, with Pune accounting for the largest share among individual cities and districts. The approvals were granted around Dussehra, a period when developers typically seek regulatory clearances ahead of stronger festive-season housing demand.
Pune city received registration numbers for 140 projects, while the wider Pune division accounted for 167 projects covering 10,553 flats and an estimated total project cost of ₹6,970 crore. Satara received approvals for 13 projects, Kolhapur for eight, and Sangli and Solapur for three each.
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region recorded 201 approvals, including 63 projects in Mumbai city and its suburbs, 70 in Thane, 36 in Raigad, 25 in Palghar, five in Ratnagiri and two in Sindhudurg. Vidarbha accounted for 32 projects, including 27 in Nagpur, while Khandesh received 24 approvals, of which 23 were in Nashik and one in Ahilya Nagar.
Marathwada accounted for eight projects, including seven in Sambhaji Nagar and one in Nanded. MahaRERA also approved two projects in Dadra and Nagar Haveli and one in Daman.
Alongside the new registrations, the regulator granted extensions to 210 projects and approved correction proposals for 609 existing projects. A MahaRERA official said the extensions were granted according to plans submitted by developers and that the authority’s team worked round the clock to process applications before the festive period.
Under MahaRERA rules, developers must obtain regulatory approval before making amendments, alterations or additions to a registered project. Developers that cannot complete projects by their declared deadlines must apply for extensions. Projects without valid extensions are categorised as lapsed, a status that can affect their progress.
The approvals are intended to ensure that registered projects meet legal, technical and financial requirements while improving transparency for homebuyers. NAREDCO Maharashtra president Kamlesh Thakur described the approvals as a boost for the state’s real-estate sector, saying that festive demand was particularly strong in markets such as Pune and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. He also said the regulatory process could support buyer confidence and timely project delivery.
Developers said they had submitted their proposals in advance of Dussehra to secure approvals during the festive period. A Pune-based developer said the industry had expected the process to be expedited and welcomed the authority’s faster processing of applications.
Between April and September 2026, MahaRERA approved 6,486 applications linked to housing projects. These included 2,056 new registrations, 2,053 extension proposals and 2,377 correction proposals. With approvals granted in October, the cumulative number rose to 7,740 applications, comprising 2,491 new registrations, 2,872 extensions and 2,377 correction proposals.
